Before And After Your Liposuction
By Dave Lavinsky

Although liposuction is one of the most commonly performed
cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., prospective patients need to be
aware that their individual results may vary. Many who are
considering the surgery begin with false hopes that the surgery
can transform their bodies into the firm and toned images
portrayed in the media. Although most patients are satisfied
with the end results of the surgery, it needs to be understood
that with any surgery, there is a risk of infection, swelling,
and bruising as well as other, more serious, side effects.
Liposuction usually gives the best results to healthy people of
normal weight with firm, elastic skin. Those who are overweight
or who have skin that is not as firm may not achieve the results
they hope for.

Though fatalities seem to be rare, very little data exists to
give a solid number. Some studies suggest that approximately 3
of every 100,000 liposuctions performed result in death. Other
studies suggest that number to be much higher – 20 out of every
100,000 surgeries performed. The Food and Drug Administration
suggests that these risks can be likened to that of automobile
accident fatalities, which involve about to about16 out of every
100,000 people. It is important to remember that liposuction is
a surgical procedure and therefore carries the risk of
complications.

In preparing for liposuction, individuals should undergo a
series of physical examinations to determine whether or not
their health is good enough to have the procedure performed. The
individual must discuss any health issues with the doctor, such
as the use of any prescription or over-the-counter drugs, and/or
herbal remedies currently used.

Most people are satisfied or happy with the results of
liposuction. Having realistic expectations prior to the surgery
reduce the chances of being dissatisfied with the result. It is
important to note that individual results will vary.

Some of the potential complications from liposuction include
scarring, a bumpy appearance around the liposuction site, and
fatty deposits returning after the surgery. After surgery it is
important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep the fat from
returning.

Liposuction can only be a permanent weight loss solution if it
is used in conjunction with a reasonable lifestyle after the
surgery. This includes maintaining a proper diet and exercise
regimen.
