NEW YORK, NY, December 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) Regular exercise and a healthy diet can go a long way to helping get in shape and toned up. However, diet and exercise alone can't always get the lingering fatty deposits keeping you from getting the contoured shape you desire. There is a plastic surgery procedure that can help get rid of that unrelenting fat. Liposuction surgically removes fat from the body in order to better define already toned areas.
Liposuction Procedure
Tumescent liposuction, the most popular form of liposuction, relies on a special solution to prepare the fat for removal. This solution is a combination of saline (salt water), lidocaine (anesthetic) and epinephrine to control bleeding. Once the solution has been introduced to the fat removal area, a small cannula is inserted through a tiny incision and the fat is slowly and carefully removed.
The entire procedure is usually performe under general anesthesia, although in some cases local anesthesia with or without sedation can be considered. Most patients can return to work in 1-2 weeks, and in some cases after just a few days.
Liposuction siphons fat from places on the body, such as the stomach, abs, arms, legs, chin, face, and buttocks, which exercise and diet cannot eliminate. This allows your plastic surgeon to sculpt and contour your body, giving you the look you wanted from your diet and exercise programs.
Is Liposuction an Alternative to Weight Loss?
Quite simply, the answer is no. Liposuction has been proven as a safe and reliable procedure to get rid of fat but it does not help you lose weight. Liposuction surgery should never be considered a substitute for steady exercise and a healthy, controlled diet. Supplementing healthy eating and working out with liposuction to maintain your physical fitness goals may be a viable option.
Of course, just because you have a little extra fat does not mean you should get liposuction. The risks associated with liposuction are similar to those for any other major surgery. It is important to consult an experienced plastic surgeon to discuss these risks and compare them with the benefits.
If you live in the New York City area and are interested in learning about liposuction, please visit the website of New York City plastic surgeon, Dr. George Lefkovits, M.D. today for more information (http://www.drlefkovits.com/contactus.html).

Are We Licensing Teens to Drive Without Adequate Training?
2010-12-04
