Liposuction: Top 3 Myths Busted By Abigail Aaronson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Liposuction or (lipoplasty) is a very popular procedure for the removal of stubborn fat deposits in the stomach, arms, neck, buttocks and thighs. In most cases, liposuction is a relatively safe outpatient procedure treatment in which fat is suctioned out using what's known as a Cannula tube.

The procedure has been known to instantly help those struggling with body fat, including obese individuals,or disproportioned individuals, or just average moms who can't get back to their pre-pregnancy figure no matter how hard they try.

Although the testimonies about liposuction are limitless, the myths have also begun to run rampant, as people believe lipoplasty is a quick fix to their poor diet and lifestyle issues. The following article lists the top 3 myths (or false expectations) that people have regarding liposuction.

For those considering the procedure, it's important to familiarize yourself with the following myths to gain the most realistic expectation of what lipoplastyplasty can actually do for you or your body.

* Myth 1: Liposuction is a weight loss tool.

Fact-False.

While a person may not gain weight again in the specific area where fat cells were removed, any weight gain will spill over disproportionately to other parts of the body. Furthermore, because the fat cells are not completely removed in the targeted areas, excessive overeating following this procedure can cause the remaining fat cells to grow, thus causing the person to gain weight in spite of procedurethe treatment.

* Myth 2: Liposuction will remove problem areas such as cellulite, stretch marks or loose skin.

Fact-False.

The procedure is only meant to remove stubborn fat cells, while contouring and shaping a person's existing figure. Conditions such as cellulite or stretch marks are actually skin conditions that are not removed during this procedure. In fact, cellulite and stretch marks may actually look worse following liposuction, as they stand out more next to the new toned and contoured body part.

* Myth 3: A person will lose weight immediately following liposuction.

Fact-False.

A person will actually weigh more during the first 2-3 weeks following the procedure. That is due to fluid retention that often takes days or weeks to completely subside. However, the full effects of the procedure will not be noticed until 4 to 6 months post-op, as it takes this long for the body to adjust to the changes that have been made.

Admittedly, adding a regular diet and exercise routine immediately following the surgery can help to significantly reduce the amount of time that it takes to see dramatic results in the body.

As the points above make clear, liposuction is not a cure all for those that refuse to diet and exercise, or for those expecting a different cosmetic look (i.e. the removal of loose skin that may be better achieved by undergoing a tummy tuck than it would liposuction).

However, after learning the common myths surrounding lipoplasty, the chances are a greater that a personnumber of people will enter the procedure with realistic expectations and find themselves they are very satisfied with the final result.
