Bryn Mawr Cosmetic Surgery Provides Complete Lipo Service
Liposuction, as a cosmetic procedure is known by many names like lipoplasty or fat modeling, lipo-sculpture, a lipectomy, and in simple slang lipo. As it is provided to clients at many centers including Main Line Plastic Surgery, it is suction-assisted fat removal. This cosmetic surgery procedure simply removes fat from many different areas of the human body. These affected areas can range from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, to the neck, backs of the arms, male breast tissue and just about anywhere that a deposit of fat cells has become unsightly.
Sometimes these localized fat deposits may be inherited and won’t respond to dieting or exercise. Liposuction then, is often the only way to improvement at Bryn Mawr Cosmetic Surgery.
Removal of large quantities of fat is a complex and potentially life-threatening procedure and large is defined as more than around 8½ pints. Not everyone is a good candidate for liposuction especially those with Diabetes or any heart or circulation problems. You must be in good general health at the time of the procedure.
Liposuction can be done alone but many times, especially with substantial fat removal from a single area, other plastic surgery procedures such as breast reduction or tummy tuck is done at the same time to alleviate the sagging skin that a large area Lipo can leave behind. In addition, liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body at once if the Main Line Cosmetic Surgery doctor’s evaluation allows.
