Liposuction Candidates

Liposuction is one of the most effective ways to remove stubborn deposits of fat from nearly any area of your body.

2013-04-17

ATLANTA, GA, April 17, 2013 (Press-News.org) Liposuction is one of the most effective ways to remove stubborn deposits of fat from nearly any area of your body. Your liposuction surgeon can use this technique to target areas including:
- Ankles, calves, and thighs
- Hips, waist, and buttocks
- Flanks, back, and chest
- Arms
- Neck and face

With modern liposuction techniques such as ultrasound liposuction, your surgeon can even address areas like the abdomen which have traditionally been difficult to treat. During your initial consultation with a board-certified liposuction surgeon, the areas of your body that can benefit from this treatment will be discussed in full.

Liposuction Candidates

Liposuction can target stubborn deposits of fat throughout your body, but it is not a good method of weight loss. Only a small amount of fat can safely be removed with liposuction, which means you must be within reach of your goal weight to be an ideal candidate for this procedure.

In addition, liposuction candidates should have good skin elasticity and be:
- Nonsmokers
- In generally good physical health
- Prepared for a surgical procedure
- Aware of all potential risks and complications
- Prepared for a recovery time of up to several weeks
- Willing to follow all of their plastic surgeon's postoperative advice

Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure, but it still comes with some risks. It is important that you discuss these risks with your plastic surgeon and inform your surgeon of your medical history to help ensure you are not placing yourself in danger with this procedure.

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction is through a one-on-one consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon. During this consultation, your surgeon will listen to your concerns, assess your frame, and discuss all of your body contouring options.

Co-parenting presents unique challenges for parents

2013-04-17

One of the biggest challenges during divorce is determining child custody. In Georgia, judges typically encourage a custody plan that is in the best interests of the children and grants both parents visitation time. Judges also grant either sole custody or joint custody. If sole custody is granted, the non-custodial parent retains visitation rights but is not allowed to make significant legal decisions concerning items such as health care, religious upbringing or education. With joint custody, both parents share in the decision-making process regarding these critical ...

Payroll tax problems can overwhelm a company and prove criminal

2013-04-17
