Liposuction has become very popular over the last couple of years. With technology, liposuction has become an easier process and there are new innovations that are being used today. You probably have a lot of questions about liposuction. Some questions you may have are: What is ultrasound assisted liposuction? Is liposuction considered plastic surgery? Can I have a tummy tuck or breast augmentation the same time as liposuction? Am I a good candidate? What are the risks and recovery process with liposuction?

Liposuction is the process of fat removal by cosmetic surgery. Fat removal by liposuction can be done on many different parts of the body including, stomach, arms, legs, butt, and neck. Only a certain amount of fat can be removed at a time, or else it can cause problems and not look quite right. The more fat that is removed puts you more at risk. Lets answer some of the questions that you might have about Liposuction.

First of all, lets talk about what a ultrasound assisted liposuction is. Ultrasound assisted liposuction is where high frequency ultrasound is used to aid the process of the fat removal, it helps to be more accurate in the amount of fat, the shape, and size that is being removed. A lot of people wonder if they are a good candidate for liposuction. Liposuction is not the first option for people that are trying to lose weight. With liposuction, you should already be in great shape, and should not have smoke in the last several months. Before having liposuction done, you should try dieting and exercise before you decide to have liposuction. If you have not tried alternative fat removal methods, your plastic surgeon may deny you liposuction until you have tried your best.

Liposuction can be done along with other plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. People may choose to have a breast lift, tummy tuck, breast reduction or breast augmentation, or any other type of plastic surgery. A lot of people feel like it is best to do another procedure along with liposuction, since they will already be undergoing anesthetic and plastic surgery.

There are some risks and complications to know about liposuction and plastic surgery. There can be pain associated with liposuction. During the recovery process, there will be some swelling, bruising and scars. You may have to wear compression garments to help the recovery of your liposuction. It is important to take care of your body after liposuction to prevent infection. A lot of times after liposuction you will need to be on bed rest for a little while and possibly have to take off time from work to recover properly. The worst thing you could do, would be to push yourself and try to move too quickly against your plastic surgeon orders.

There are a lot of great plastic surgeon and liposuction centers here in Utah. If you are interested in liposuction, talk to your doctor about if you are a good candidate and you can be referred to a plastic surgeon. Try searching for "Liposuction Utah" to see what options are available to you. Remember, cosmetic surgery and liposuction is not for everyone. When choosing to have plastic surgery, you should make the decision for yourself and no one else. It is a very personal decision, that can change your life.
