Individuals who wish to reduce excess fat and reshape their bodies often turn to liposuction. To be eligible for this type of surgery, patients must be at least 18 years old. In some cases, however, younger patients may also be able to receive liposuction if the procedure is done for medical reasons. Vinings Surgery Center, led by reliable board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Colgrove, provides liposuction to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.
Liposuction Treatment
This treatment involves the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the body. It is a surgical procedure that uses a suction device to extract fat from beneath the skin. Liposuction is usually used to improve the appearance of certain areas of the body, such as the abdominal area, hips, and thighs. It is also possible to target and remove stubborn fat in various parts of the body, such as the neck, face, abdomen, back, waist, hips and flanks, arms, legs, and buttocks, using liposuction. It should be noted that liposuction only reduces fat, and does not address any excess skin that may be present. During surgery, the patient is put under general anesthesia, and a combination of anesthetic and saline solution is administered in the area to be treated before being suctioned out along with the fat using a cannula.
Liposuction Candidacy
Those who are looking to undergo liposuction should be aware that there are certain criteria that must be met in order to be a good candidate. Generally, the person should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations of the results of the procedure. It is also important that the individual is not significantly overweight and has pockets of fat that are localized in certain areas. In order to be qualified for liposuction, the minimum age requirement is 18. Your physician will take into consideration your physical and mental maturity in the consultation. Moreover, it is necessary that you are in a good state of health, and if you do smoke, you must be able to quit before proceeding with the surgery. Furthermore, you must have time available to rest and recuperate after the procedure and commit to following the instructions of your surgeon. During your consultation, it is important to explain your goals to the surgeon in order to determine if this is the right procedure. It is important to note that liposuction is not intended to be a weight loss method, but it can remove excess fat from the targeted treatment areas. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Colgrove provides liposuction to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.
