Liposculpture: Benefits and Risks of Weight Loss Surgery

by Pier Montague

Liposculpture surgery has taken a new role in the lives of Americans, as every year an estimated 500,000 people seek the benefits of this cosmetic procedure. More commonly known as liposuction, this procedure takes away unwanted fat from various parts of the body. Fat can be removed from the neck, abs, thighs, buttocks, arms, and other areas of the body here fat may be stored up, despite the best intentions and efforts of the patient.

One of the first things a surgeon will mention, and rightly so, is that this is not a simply weight loss method and should absolutely not be used in place of actual exercise and eating a healthy diet. Surgery carries real risk, and this certainly includes cosmetic surgery.

The total number of pounds of body fat that a surgeon can remove is actually much less than you might think. While it depends on the patient and what area is being treated, the overall amount of fat removed typically maxes out around 10 pounds or 5 kilograms. While it is possible to take out more than this, it can cause unwanted complications in the body.

Removing too much fat can increase the well known risk of the body having strange dents or bumps in the skin. (However, note that this can even happen if a “safe” amount of fat was removed.) The care taken in using a proper anesthetic as well as the health of the person coming into the procedure all greatly effect to the safety, or risk, of surgery. One example of how this works is smoking. Doctors are going to tell you that you should not smoke for many weeks or preferably even months before coming in for treatment.

Taking note to pay attention to ones health beforehand will result in increased health post-surgery. The primary benefit everyone wants is of course the removal of those pounds! Liposculpture can certainly accomplish this for you. Additionally, it can help get rid of cellulite. On top of that, the manner in which the surgeon sculpts the skin, also known as body contouring, is the icing on the cake, leading to the appearance of more fat being removed that was actually the case.

Remember though that these effects do not happen all at once. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months after surgery to see the total benefits of the procedure manifest in the body. In this time, the body might look strange due to swelling or numbing. That being the case though, most people can return to their daily life within a week of having received treatments.
