Liposuction: Myths And Facts
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure performed all over the world. But it is still not free from myths and misconceptions, leading to unwarranted fears and unrealistic expectations. Proper research and homework, however, can go a long way in reversing the damage caused by posts, articles, and people who do not have complete information. So, read this and find out what works and what does not when it comes to liposuction.
Myth #1:
A liposuction is an effective tool for weight loss
Facts:
It is a body contouring treatment. People who have localized fat pockets in their bodies and are within 30% of the healthy weight range are ideal candidates for liposuction. Many people tend to think that it is an “easy way out” or a “miracle cure” for obesity but it is not! Weight loss must begin with diet, exercise, or a real weight loss surgery. Liposuction treats the stubborn fat that refuses to leave even after you have lost weight. And also to achieve long-lasting results and maintain a proportionate figure, you must maintain a healthy diet and follow your doctor’s guidelines.
Myth #2:
The Results are Temporary
Facts:
Liposuction is a procedure that removes fat from different body parts like buttocks, thighs, and abdomen and removes it for good! So, the removed fat cells will not make an appearance again. But the results will not be instantaneous as well. With healing, your body will slowly show the true changes. You must remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle because the fat cells that remain can grow and expand in the area where the surgery was performed. A balanced diet and fitness regimen can enhance the results!
Myth #3:
Only Women Go For Liposuction
Facts:
A safe and effective cosmetic treatment, people of all gender can go for it. The fact is that many men request liposuction to get rid of excess fat in regions like the chest, stomach, “love handles”, and also thighs to get a more ripped and toned appearance. So, rest assured that your masculinity will in no way be threatened if you were to undergo cosmetic surgery!
Myth #4:
After the Surgery, You’ll Need Significant Downtime
Facts:
Surgeons have made the treatment safer and more refined over the years. At Kaayakalp, we have an excellent team of plastic surgeons headed by Dr. V.S. Rathore. They offer precise fat removal and a quicker recovery period. Also, you will get valuable help that will ease you back into a normal life with minimal pain and discomfort.
Myth #5:
Liposuction Procedures are All the Same
Facts:
There are many kinds of liposuction procedures and each has its advantages and also disadvantages. Some of the common procedures are:
· Ultrasound-assisted liposuction or UAL: The fat is liquefied using high-frequency sound waves before it is removed.
· Laser-assisted liposuction: Laser energy liquefies fat which leads to easy removal.
· Tumescent liposuction: A liquid solution is injected into the body which loosens the fat cells, leading to gentle removal. It also numbs the area and stops bleeding.
Myth#6:
It Causes the Skin to Tighten
Facts:
This is a procedure that targets just the fatty tissues. Loose skin is not an issue that liposuction redresses. Also, to address these underlying skin issues, we recommend you set up appointments with our team.
Myth #7:
Liposuction Providers Are All the Same
Facts:
Cosmetic surgery like liposuction is not just about the tool or the technique. Rather the surgeon and the team who will perform are absolutely vital. You will need a licensed and certified practitioner with expertise and experience in the line of body contouring.
