Liposuction is by no means a “one size fits all” procedure. In fact, one of the many benefits of liposuction is that it can be custom-tailored to fit your individual needs and cosmetic goals in these ways.
Consider Your Body Shape
One of the beautiful things about each and every one of us is that we all come in different shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, that also means that fat can begin to accumulate in certain areas for different people.
“Pear” shapes, for example, tend to store excess fat in their lower body, while “apple” shapes might notice an excess of stubborn fat in their midsection. No matter your body shape, liposuction may be recommended to help address isolated pockets of exercise-resistant fat.
Liposuction for Women and Men
It’s no secret that women’s and men’s bodies can be very different. The same is true when it comes to the way each stores fat.
Higher levels of estrogen is one reason why women tend to store fat more easily than men.
Women and men also often have different cosmetic goals. While a woman might want a curvier, hourglass shape, a man might want a straighter figure and free of that “spare tire” look.
Add a Tummy Tuck
In some cases, especially following pregnancy or massive weight loss, liposuction alone may not be the most effective solution. Instead, adding a tummy tuck to your liposuction can help to address both excess skin and stubborn fat.
The C.L.A.S.S.™ tummy tuck utilizes an innovative surgical technique that combines the benefits of liposuction and a traditional tummy tuck.
