Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that aims to remove stubborn fatty areas around the abdomen, hips, thighs, and other parts of the body. While exercise and proper dietary habits can do wonders for the rest of your body, some men and women continue to notice some ‘problem areas’ that don’t respond as quickly to an exercise and diet regime. Liposuction can help to sculpt those areas, creating a toned, trim look.
Traditional Liposuction
Before undergoing any surgery, a skilled professional in Elgin can consult with you and advise you on the procedure that is best for you and your body. During the procedure, they can sculpt the areas to significantly enhance body contouring. Traditional techniques are performed under general anesthesia, while areas of fat are carefully selected and gently removed to allow for greater contouring, leaving you with your desired body shape. Depending on the area of the body, some results are noticeable almost immediately, while others are dependent on the swelling to go down. Full results usually take several months to become entirely apparent.
A professional is also there to confirm that you understand that this procedure is not a way to lose weight quickly and that, in fact, the ideal candidate is someone close to their ideal weight. Skin elasticity is also an essential factor, as this can determine the effectiveness of the contouring process.
Body-Jet
‘Body-Jet’ water assisted fat removal is a technique that uses pulses of fluid to gently displace and dislodge fat. A gentle water spray helps to remove the fat and can usually result in a better cosmetic outcome. While both techniques need some medication to manage pain and bleeding, the Body-Jet method requires less medication during and after the procedure, and patients usually experience less bruising.
