Why Men and Women Love Liposuction

Published January 21, 2019 by Katerina Gallus, MD FACS
Liposuction

Unhappy with your body shape? You are far from alone. Many people, men and women, are not satisfied with their results from diet and exercise. That is where liposuction can help. This treatment, which is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world, is perfect for finally removing stubborn pockets of fact to help reveal your dream body.

What is Liposuction?

This treatment involves breaking up fat cells before gentling suctioning them out. A thin, hollow instrument known as a cannula is inserted under the skin. It is attached to a vacuum that can then remove the fat. Fat cells are permanently removed through liposuction. This can give you incredibly long-lasting results. That said, those who do not follow a healthy lifestyle after liposuction are at risk of their remaining fat cells growing. THis procedure is intended for people who have a stable weight and are near their body goals. While it is amazing at removing stubborn pockets of fat, it is not meant to be a treatment for obesity.

Why Men and Women Love Liposuction

This cosmetic procedure is popular with both men and women for many reasons. Men often have it done to help treat gynecomastia, a condition in which excess pockets of fat cause their breasts to become enlarged. Other reasons both men and women consider this procedure include:

  • It is an incredibly effective way to shape and contour the body
  • Liposuction is considered to be a very safe procedure
  • Unlike diet and exercise, it permanently removes fat cells
  • It can remove lipomas, which are benign fatty tumors
  • It boosts self-confidence
  • Overall health and energy can be improved thanks to the loss of fat

Results with Liposuction

It generally takes a matter of weeks for the improvements of liposuction to become clear. If you work hard to maintain your weight, you can reasonably expect your results to be permanent. If you do gain weight in the future, it will likely be in a different area.
