Some Common Myths and Misconceptions about Liposuction

Many potential Los Angeles plastic surgery patients have common misconceptions about liposuction. Liposuction was actually the most popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure of 2007, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), with over 450,000 procedures done in the U.S. last year.

Hundreds of Los Angeles liposuction surgeries are performed in order to remove excess fatty deposits commonly localized in the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, back, and neck of both men and women.

Los Angeles and Beverly Hills liposuction experts agree, this procedure should not be sought as means to lose weight or automatically correct any body issues you may be experiencing. It should be considered for those healthy men and women at a stable and optimal weight, who are looking to remove stubborn fat deposits that cannot be rid with conventional diet and exercise, as means to reshape and contour the body. Often, liposuction is considered by post-pregnancy women who are looking to gain their fitter, slimmer pre childbirth bodies back. The fact is that all post pregnancy bodies are different.

Liposuction alone may not give the most optimal results in addressing every body image issue of the recipient. For example, some women after childbirth or with age experience a decrease in skin elasticity. With childbirth or after weight loss, women often suffer from loose, sagging skin around the midsection. A loose, “flabby” appearance can be due to fat, or it can result from a combination of loose skin and stretched-out muscles. Liposuction only addresses the excess fat, and has no affect whatsoever on loose skin, stretched muscles, or cellulite.

Body contouring procedures geared toward the post-pregnancy body, also commonly referred to as “Mommy Makeovers” often combine Los Angeles tummy tuck and liposuction to address skin and muscle looseness along with excess fat deposits. A Los Angeles or Beverly Hills tummy tuck involves stretching and repositioning the abdominal skin as well as tightening the underlying muscles in a way which creates a tighter, flatter stomach area.

While both liposuction and tummy tuck procedures often give marvelous results to women suffering with body image issues, neither procedure is recommended for those men and women who are experiencing an unhealthy level of sadness or frustration with their bodies. Cosmetic plastic surgery should never be sought to completely change your outlook on your life and self-image. Although surgery can help improve your body image, you cannot expect it to make you an entirely different person. After all, no matter how many surgeries you undergo, in the end, you are still you, and shouldn’t try to be anyone else!
