Is Liposuction Right for You?

If you have achieved or are near your ideal weight, and still contend with stubborn pockets of fat, liposuction may be the solution which can put the final touches on honing your body to the shape you desire. Atlanta liposuction can be used on virtually any body part where you have unwanted fat, including areas that may surprise you such as you face and arms. 

Ideal Candidates 

Liposuction is not for everyone, nor is it an alternative to a healthy lifestyle. Liposuction is appropriate for people who are battling unwanted pockets of fat which stand in the way of achieving their ideal body shape. If you have already tried diet and exercise, or if weight was not an issue in the first place, you may be a good candidate for liposuction. Ideal candidates meet the following criteria:

• In good overall health
• At or near ideal body weight
• Non-smoker, or willing to quit before liposuction and through recovery
• Good skin elasticity

Areas Treated with Liposuction 

Although we tend to think of liposuction as a procedure to slim the hips and thighs, it can create beautiful results on almost any part of the body, including some of the places where it is most difficult to get rid of unsightly bulges which detract from your overall shape. Areas which can be treated with liposuction include:

• Hips
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Abdomen
• Arms
• Back
• Neck
• Face
• Flanks

 Liposuction is a popular and effective treatment for problems such as double chin, saddlebag, and bra line bulge.
