How to get a beach body for summer

Summer is just around the corner, and it is not unusual to notice those stubborn areas that exercise and diet still haven’t managed to change. Liposuction may be a good option as a last minute resort in this case, according to plasticsurgery.org

Basically, liposuction means the removal of fat from a specific area of the body by small incisions in which a cannula is introduced and the deposited fat is aspirated. This can also be combined with other procedures of skin and fat removal, like a tummy tuck.

Liposuction comes in many forms, it can be suction-assisted, ultrasound-assisted or done using a laser. The plastic surgeon decides following consultation and examination of the area of concern. Liposuction removes fat, but there can be the problem of excess skin.The success of the procedure depends on the skin’s ability to contract or tighten after the fat is removed.

Following surgery, patients can be given a compression garment to wear that will help minimise swelling. The length of time required to wear these garments is determined by the plastic surgeon. Final results of this surgery are not immediate. It can take from 6 months to a year for all of the swellings to resolve and the skin to contract.
