If you have a bulging midriff, ‘thunder thighs,’ or stubborn fat in other areas, then you can get some remarkable results with liposuction. San Antonio is home to a number of skilled plastic surgeons that perform liposuction with the use of advanced technology such as SlimLipo. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fatty tissue from targeted areas of the body.
If you desire to have an all-round toned and sexier appearance, then lipo may be the solution for you. The best candidates are those that have areas of fat that they are unable to reduce with diet and exercise. This failure may be due to their genetic makeup, and not because of poor diet and exercise choices.
Localized fat deposits usually appear on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and flanks. Liposuction works in removing these zones of fat, because it gives you the option to select the areas of your body that you want to target. Lipo candidates should not be obese, but should be close to their ideal body weight. Lipo works best on elastic skin that is able to quickly snap back into shape.
Before undergoing liposuction in San Antonio, you should discuss all concerns with your doctor, and establish realistic expectations. It is important to know what lipo can and cannot do. Lipo can remove pockets of fatty tissue, but it is cannot be used as a weight loss solution. However, lipo can complement and enhance your weight loss efforts.
Liposuction basics
Traditional lipo, (known as tumescent lipo) involves the use of a vacuum source, and an instrument known as a cannula. At the start of the procedure, the fat cells are injected with a solution containing saline, and other medications. The saline solution helps to liquefy the fat, making it easier to suction it out with the vacuum machine, via the cannula.
SlimLipo
SlimLipo, available in San Antonio, is a laser-assisted lipo suction solution. The laser melts and liquefies the fat, which is then drawn out from the body using the cannula. SlimLipo is considered among the best laser lipo solutions because of its dual-action functionality. SlimLipo melts fat, but it also tightens the skin. The result is a slimmer, more contoured body. It is a very efficient lipo technique after which there is minimal bruising and swelling, and as a result, recovery time is much shorter.
SlimLipo is the newest liposuction technique available in San Antonio, and more plastic surgeons are becoming aware of its benefits and effectiveness.
