Liposuction is More Than Just Losing Inches
6 Ways Liposuction Gives You a Better Body
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body to reduce size, as well as improve contour and shape. But while it’s often associated with simply losing inches, liposuction can address a variety of aesthetic concerns beyond just slimming down.
In this article, top Oakland County plastic surgeon Dr. Ali explains five issues that liposuction can effectively improve, helping patients achieve their desired body goals in Oakland County.
#1. Liposuction for a Flatter Abs & Smaller Waist
One of the most common areas treated with liposuction is the waistline, where stubborn fat deposits can accumulate and create an undesirable bulge or protruding belly.
While everyone knows that you simply cannot spot reduce with diet or exercise, liposuction can effectively target these localized fat pockets around the abdomen and flanks, sculpting a slimmer and more defined waistline – as well as flatter abs.
Where fat is stored on the body is largely hereditary. That’s why eating right and going to the gym is often ineffective at getting the body to shed weight from the middle. By removing excess fat cells, liposuction can reduce the circumference of the waist in a targeted way that is not possible by simply reducing calories or working out, resulting in a flatter abdomen, more proportionate waist, and improve the shape and silhouette of both women and men.
#2. Liposuction for a Better Buttocks
For genetic reasons, fat loss in the butt is often almost impossible. For patients seeking a more lifted and shapely buttock appearance, liposuction can be used in combination with fat transfer techniques to augment and enhance the buttocks.
Commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), this procedure involves harvesting fat from donor areas via liposuction, purifying it, and then strategically injecting it into the buttocks to create volume and improve contour.
#3. Liposuction for Better Proportions
By targeting specific trouble spots, liposuction can also be used to improve overall body proportions and symmetry. For example, while a 34-inch waist may not look too big on a woman with fuller breasts and wider hips, a 34-inch waste can look like a huge belly on a small-boned woman with a 32 inch chest.
By precisely removing excess fat from areas that may be disproportionately larger or asymmetrical compared to the rest of the body, liposuction can create a more harmonious and balanced physique. Whether it’s reducing excess fat in the belly, arms, thighs, or back, liposuction can help patients achieve better overall proportions and enhance their body contours.
#4. Liposuction for Male Breasts
Enlarged male breasts, is a common condition that can cause self-consciousness and discomfort for many men. While “man boobs” can occur at any age, they become more likely as men age and muscle-maintaining testosterone levels decline.
Liposuction can effectively remove both excess fat and glandular tissue caused by gynecomastia in a man’s chest area, resulting in a flatter and more masculine chest contour. A skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali in Oakland County can offer liposuction techniques tailored specifically for gynecomastia that can help men achieve a more sculpted chest appearance, restoring confidence and improving self-esteem.
#5. Liposuction for a Double Chin
Excess fat under the chin, often referred to as a “double chin,” can detract from facial harmony and make individuals appear older or heavier than they actually are. Unfortunately, double-chins are often hereditary – and diet and exercise do not reduce them.
Liposuction can target this stubborn fat beneath the chin, sculpting a more defined jawline and neckline. Through small incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out the unwanted fat, resulting in a more youthful and contoured facial profile in both men and women.
#6. Liposuction for Flabby Arms
Flabby arms, often referred to as “bat wings,” can be a source of frustration for many individuals, especially as they age or after significant weight loss. Liposuction can effectively target excess fat deposits in the upper arms, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance.
By removing localized fat pockets and refining the arm contours, liposuction can help patients achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking arms. And for patients with excess fat as well as significantly loose skin in the upper arms, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali in Oakland County can combine liposuction with arm lift surgery, for gorgeous, firm, sculpted arms.
Combining Liposuction with Other Procedures
Liposuction can also be combined with other surgical procedures to achieve comprehensive body contouring and enhancement. For example, liposuction can be performed in conjunction with Profound™ skin tightening to address both excess fat and loose skin, resulting in more dramatic and long-lasting results.
Additionally, liposuction can complement procedures such as a tummy tuck or breast lift by removing excess fat and improving overall body proportions. By customizing treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ali in Oakland County can provide a tailored solutions for complete and comprehensive body contouring.
