Who May Consider Liposuction
Women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated fat pockets causing certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate are particularly well-suited to Liposuction (lipoplasty). These localized fat deposits may at times be inherited traits that normally are impervious to dieting or exercise. Liposuction is often the only way to eliminate them.
You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you either have localized excess fat or if you desire contouring in any of the following areas:
- cheeks, jowls and neck
- upper arms
- breast or chest areas
- back
- abdomen and waist
- hips and buttocks
- inner and outer thighs
- inner knee
- calves and ankles
The Liposuction Procedure
First, the surgeon inserts a small, hollow tube, called a cannula, through one or more tiny incisions near the area to be suctioned and fat is removed. Generally, incisions, usually less than one-quarter inch in length are placed as inconspicuously as possible, mostly within skin folds or contour lines. Typically, a vacuum pressure unit is connected by tubing to the cannula. Under the surgeon's guidance the suction device vacuums away the unwanted fat.
Planning Your Liposuction Procedure Made Easy
Should you decide to have your Liposuction procedure facilitated by Global MD, a dedicated Care Coordinator will help you select from Global MD's premier network of cosmetic surgeons and arrange a telephone consultation with the surgeon of your choice. Together, you and your surgeon will talk about your medical history and your expectations for the look of your body after surgery. During your phone consultation, you and your surgeon will also discuss in detail how you should prepare for surgery. Your surgeon will give you a detailed plan to follow in the weeks and days before surgery.
Healthy Recovery
Although the length of time needed in the destination country will ultimately be determined by you and your surgeon, and will vary depending on individual circumstances, patients are usually able to return home 5 days after their surgery. Once back home again, it is often possible to resume work within just a few days.
Value-Based Pricing
As with recovery time, the cost of Liposuction at a Global MD partner facility will vary depending on individual factors and your choice of surgeon. However, the Liposuction procedure typically costs from $825 to $3,000, depending on the personal characteristics of the patient and the number of areas to be treated.
Risks Associated with Liposuction
Year after year, multitudes of people undergo successful Liposuction. However, when considering surgery you and your surgeon should discuss the benefits and risks associated with the procedure. Your surgeon will address all of your concerns in detail during your consultations.
