Body fat loves to stubbornly stick around in the places where we least want it—on our abdomen, thighs, back, buttock, and arms, just to name a few. What makes this worse is that these specific areas can be hard to target with diet and exercise alone. Some fat won’t respond to healthy habits no matter how seriously you take them.
There’s good news, though: when traditional fat reduction methods fail, you can always turn to liposuction. Dr. Bryan Armijo offers liposuction at his office in Dallas, TX, to help his patients sculpt their bodies by removing fat from troubled areas. Here’s everything you should know about liposuction so you can plan your treatment and look your best for the holidays.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction involves the use of a gentle suction that removes unwanted fat tissue from stubborn areas of the body. During liposuction, Dr. Armijo uses a thin tube called a cannula that he inserts into the fatty tissue through a keyhole incision. This incision is very small, so typically, it doesn’t leave a noticeable scar. The unwanted fat is then prepared for removal before being carefully siphoned out. Dr. Armijo may also employ a state-of-the-art liposuction technique that involves suction and laser-assisted liposuction to help make the whole process as non-invasive as possible.
You make a great candidate for liposuction if you are in good health and if your skin still has enough elasticity to form to your slimmer figure.
What are the Benefits of Liposuction?
If you’ve tried every diet book and exercise plan known to man but still have localized areas of fat that simply will not go away, liposuction could be the answer for which you were looking. It slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by reducing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportions. In addition, liposuction can also be a motivation for many people to commit to a healthier lifestyle and let go of bad habits, such as excessive drinking and overeating.
However, liposuction shouldn’t be used as a weight-loss method but rather as an aid. After you’ve done the hard work of reaching close to your goal weight, liposuction can help you go that extra mile and achieve the results you want.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Liposuction?
Liposuction can be used all over the body, but the areas that respond best to liposuction include:
- Abdomen and Waist
- Buttock and Hips
- Inner and Outer Thighs
- Inner Knees
- Calves and Ankles
- Cheeks, Jowls, and Neck
- Upper Arms
- Breasts or Chest Area
- Back
If you don’t see the location you’ve been trying target here, don’t be discouraged. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Armijo to determine if liposuction can help you.
