It can be disheartening when fat deposits refuse to respond to proper diet and conscientious exercise. Terms such as \u201clove handles\u201d and \u201cmuffin top\u201d lose any charm they ever possessed when your clothes don\u2019t fit properly. Sometimes, revealing summer styles can make you want to skip activities with friends and family. <\/span>Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> in Pittsburgh offers liposuction to help smooth away stubborn and unwanted areas of fat that undermine confidence in both men and women. Learn about your options by scheduling a consultation with our board-certified Pittsburgh cosmetic surgeon <\/span>Dr. Brian V. Heil<\/span><\/a> to discuss your concerns and set achievable goals for change.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IS <\/span>LIPOSUCTION<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Liposuction<\/span><\/a>, also known as lipoplasty or body contouring, is a surgical suction technique to permanently remove deposits of fat cells from specific areas of the body. Targeted areas include the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck. <\/span>Liposuction<\/span><\/a> is not a replacement weight loss method for healthy diet and exercise. Nor is it a treatment for obesity or cellulite (dimpled areas on the thighs, hips, and buttocks). This procedure removes fat cells from the body, changing the proportions of the targeted area. Areas resistant to conventional means of improvement in otherwise healthy people will vary, especially between men and women. (<\/span>American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span><\/i>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span><\/i>The Journal of the American Medical Association<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span><\/i>U.S. National Library of Medicine<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW IS <\/span>LIPOSUCTION<\/span><\/a> PERFORMED?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Liposuction<\/span><\/a> surgery employs thin metal tubes (cannulas) to permanently remove stubborn pockets of fat from the body of healthy individuals. The degree of anesthesia required depends on the number of sites to be treated, their location and whether the patient is undergoing additional procedures at the same time. The cannulas are inserted into the fatty deposits through small incisions in the skin. They are manipulated to dislodge the disproportionate number of fatty cells in the target region. Once the deposits are disrupted, the fat cells are suctioned from under the skin. Any swelling or fluid retention immediately following the <\/span>liposuction<\/span><\/a> \u00a0procedure will subside over time. The elastic nature of skin allows it to mold to the new contour. It is important to note that patients should continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle after a <\/span>liposuction<\/span><\/a> procedure. The remaining fat cells will respond to weight gain or loss in the normal manner. Future weight gain or loss will reflect the new body proportions. (<\/span>The Journal of the American Medical Association<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF <\/span>LIPOSUCTION<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Liposuction<\/span><\/a> should be viewed as a \u201csculpting procedure\u201d that can change the contours of the body or face (<\/span>International Journal of Drug Development and Research<\/span><\/i><\/a>). It is a cosmetic surgical procedure that slims, reshapes, and improves body contours. It can create more harmonious body proportions. Healthy individuals who are within 30% of their ideal weight, have good muscle tone and firm, elastic skin are more likely to see benefits from <\/span>liposuction<\/span><\/a> surgery (<\/span>American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/i><\/a>). The results from <\/span>liposuction<\/span><\/a> can be long lasting if you follow your surgeon\u2019s aftercare instructions and continue to maintain a stable weight and general fitness. As always, positive results are expected, but there is no guarantee that the ideal results can be accomplished in a single procedure. At times, a second <\/span>liposuction<\/span><\/a> surgery is necessary to achieve optimal results. As the years pass, patients may notice natural looseness in their skin, but the improvements to the skin attributable to the <\/span>liposuction<\/span><\/a> procedure will remain permanently. (<\/span>American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span><\/i>International Journal of Drug Development and Research<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY IS <\/span>LIPOSUCTION<\/span><\/a> IDEAL FOR 40 YEAR OLDS?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Liposuction<\/span><\/a> cosmetic surgery reshapes the contours of the body using suction to permanently remove targeted fat deposits that are resistant to exercise and diet. Age is associated with body composition changes that have an important impact on health (<\/span>The Journal of Nutrition<\/span><\/i><\/a>). The trend is to develop an increase in upper and central body fat deposition (<\/span>The Journal of Gerontology<\/span><\/i><\/a>). Therefore, many of the typical stubborn pockets of fat of concern to patients become apparent as they age into their 40\u2019s. <\/span>Liposuction<\/span><\/a> is ideal for those in their 40\u2019s because the elasticity of their skin allows it to mold smoothly to the tissue remaining after the procedure. This desirable elasticity generally fades during the decade of one\u2019s 50\u2019s, causing results to be less predictable.<\/span><\/p>\n
