Some people wonder whether liposuction is worth the price, but numbers indicate that the majority of those who have liposuction are very happy with the results. In fact, lipo has a 91% “worth it” rating on RealSelf.com.
Are You a Good Liposuction Candidate?
You’ll only get the most out of your money if you’re a good candidate for liposuction. You should be in good health and should be eating right and exercising regularly. Liposuction won’t help you lose weight so you need a healthy foundation in place before considering body contouring.
Taking the time to ensure that you’re a good candidate can help makes liposuction worth the cost.Is Liposuction the Ideal Procedure for You?
For the right candidates, liposuction can offer positive results.* The body contouring procedure can target diet and exercise resistant fat almost anywhere on the body, as well as some portions of the face. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations of what liposuction can accomplish. If you have loose skin that’s left over after weight loss or pregnancy, you may benefit from a tummy tuck or other plastic surgery procedure.
Will You Work to Maintain the Results?
If liposuction is worth it to you, you’ll have to do what it takes to protect your liposuction results. No matter how happy you feel with your outcome after lipo, you can’t expect your results to last if you don’t actively work to maintain a healthy weight.
Have You Selected a Qualified Plastic Surgeon?
Shopping for a plastic surgery procedure is a big deal. You have to do your homework and make sure you’re getting someone who is highly qualified. Never let cost be your biggest priority when it comes to plastic surgery. Beware of “too good to be true” prices, and don’t work with anyone who is not board-certified.
