Liposuction can be of great benefit for many individuals. Therefore, it is important that you undergo this cosmetic surgery procedure for the right reasons after thoroughly researching the procedure. If you have considered “lipoplasty,” be sure that you take the following into consideration:

• Liposuction is not a means of massive weight loss – This procedure can remove large amounts of fat, but it is not a substitute for dieting and exercise
• Complications and risks – Should you not follow post-surgery instructions correctly, complications may arise and require immediate action
• Cannot prevent excess fat in untreated areas – Although fat is permanently removed, weight gain can occur in areas not treated with liposuction

Liposuction is not a quick fix for those who are overweight; it is a way for you to sculpt those pesky areas that have not responded to other methods. This procedure is a body contouring/enhancing procedure, not a means to perfection. Because this is a serious surgical procedure that should not be taken lightly, it is important that you do your homework prior to surgery.

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for liposuction is to visit my White Plains practice near Westchester. During this time, you will be able to voice any questions/concerns you may have. Your anatomy and desired outcome will be taken into consideration when creating a personalized treatment plan.
