When I am asked if liposuction is safe, my answer is yes

In over 20 years of performing liposuction in my plastic surgery practice, I have encountered very few complications in my patients as a result. In fact, what I have observed in both men and women who have had this procedure is that it has been a wonderful turning point in their lives, boosting their self-esteem and enabling them to feel confident about their bodies, sometimes for the first time.

For people who have stubborn pockets of fat and unwanted bulges that diet and exercise have not been able to resolve, liposuction can be a very satisfying solution. By eliminating these problem areas, liposuction helps them look slimmer, more shapely and more attractive. In addition, having liposuction is the motivation many people need to commit to a healthier lifestyle and let go of bad habits, such as smoking and overeating.

In addition to liposuction, I also offer a wide range of other body sculpting procedures to help you achieve a more contoured body. To learn more, click here.

Addressing liposuction in the news

Are you a good candidate for liposuction? Here’s what I say to my patients who are considering this type of body contouring procedure: If you’re currently in fairly good shape, you exercise, and you have a few areas of your body that you want trimmed and sculpted, liposuction may be for you. However, liposuction is not a weight loss program, so I don’t recommend it to those patients who want to lose a significant amount of weight through plastic surgery.

By changing your body, liposuction can also change your life

Want a better, trimmer shape? If you’ve tried dieting and exercise but still have stubborn areas of fat that simply won’t go away, liposuction could be the answer you’ve been looking for. By permanently taking away excess fat deposits, it slims and reshapes specific areas of the body, and at the same time, improves your body contours and proportion for a more pleasing silhouette.

Since fat cells do not reproduce, once they are eliminated by liposuction, they will not be replaced. This may be why the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery rates liposuction as today’s most popular cosmetic procedure.
