Liposuction at Premier Plastic Surgery, Pittsburgh, PA
Any area of the body with excess pockets of fat can have Liposuction. Pittsburgh plastic surgeons recommends that the best candidates for liposuction will have good skin elasticity that is able to reach the smoothest contours after the fat has been removed. Liposuction in Pittsburgh by Dr Heil* is not intended to treat obesity and will be the most effective when performed on patients that exercise and follow a healthy diet but have problematic areas of fat that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods.
Since there is no such thing as spot training, certain patients will have a natural disposition for storing pockets of fat in certain areas, most commonly in the hip, thigh, and stomach area in women and in the stomach, "love handle", and chest areas in men. Liposuction in Pittsburgh can help. Over the years, surgical and technological advances have allowed liposuction to be a safe and effective cosmetic procedure when performed by a qualified and reputable plastic surgeon. Pittsburgh liposuction has changed and improved the past method of liposuction that required large incisions and an aggressive motion to remove the fat, incisions do not have be as large to fit more advanced liposuction instrumentation.
The surgery has limitations, as all cosmetic procedures do, and liposuction should not be substituted for dieting and exercise and is unable to effective treat cellulite. Because liposuction is an invasive procedure, it is extremely important for all candidates to weigh both the benefits and risks of the surgery with their surgeons prior to deciding if they are qualified to undergo the cosmetic contouring.
