Wondering if you will ever achieve your ideal weight and figure can be frustrating at times and can often end up leaving you feeling upset and defeated. You seem to diet and exercise religiously, but those hard to reach areas of fat won’t budge. You know, those annoying areas of fat you’ve probably had most of your life, such as the back of the neck, double chin, outer thighs, muffin top, love handles, and more. But what can the average person do to rid themselves of unsightly fat pockets safely? 

The answer to your problem may be liposuction. Liposuction is a safe fat removal procedure that is extremely effective in removing unwanted fat in those hard to reach places when done by a licensed physician. But don’t mistake liposuction for a weight loss procedure; it works best on patients who are not overweight. When other methods of burning fat fail, liposuction in Fort Lauderdale may be a viable option for you.

How is the liposuction procedure performed?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that breaks down and removes the subcutaneous fat layer (fat just under the skin) in those stubborn parts of the body that are typically resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure and usually in the comfort of your surgeon’s medical suite. At Take Shape Plastic Surgery, our experienced medical professionals, assisted by their medical team, will begin the liposuction procedure by making small incisions in your skin and then inserting a tool called a cannula into the fat pocket. This cannula is then attached to a suction device or a syringe to extract the fat from the targeted area. Patients are generally sedated with twilight anesthesia medication that leaves you awake but unaware of what’s going on. Typically, patients forget what’s happened during and after the procedure. Pain following a liposuction procedure is mild, and your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to eliminate the possibility of infection and a mild pain reliever after the procedure to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

Liposuction targets your stubborn areas.

You can now eliminate fat from those stubborn areas that, in the past, would not budge no matter what you did! Even if you work out often, sometimes specific areas of fat can be stubborn. With liposuction in Fort Lauderdale, those hard to get to places are targeted and eliminated once and for all. Liposuction reaches areas such as behind the arms, the back, the outer thighs, love handles, and even under the neck where fat can develop as we age. Even with diet and exercise, many of us have difficulty reducing fat in those areas in the gym. It’s so frustrating to spend time exercising and never to see results. With liposuction, your dream of the perfect body is made a reality.

Liposuction is a permanent solution.

When you have the liposuction procedure performed, your fat cells are permanently removed and usually cannot grow back in the same area. They will, however, come back in other areas if you gain weight. Make sure that you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen after you recover from liposuction so that you can make the most of your fabulous new body.
