FAQs on Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery

Q- Am I a good candidate for liposuction?

Ans- Liposuction is not used for weight loss, rather to correct problem areas or fat bulges.

A candidate will be close to their ideal weight because a liposuction is typically performed

in patients that have an area of fat they find hard to lose. The fat removed does not weight a lot,

so patients should expect a shape change, not a weight change.

Q- What areas of the body can be treated with liposuction?

Ans- Most body areas can be treated with liposuction, though the most common areas

in females

are the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Men are often treated for liposuction in the breasts, hips,

and

abdomen. Liposuction is not limited to these areas, though other places may include the

upper arms,

under the chin and the buttocks.

Q- Does liposuction leave scars?

Ans- Incisions made during liposuction are generally very small and put in areas that are more

inconspicuous. Most cases of liposuction will heal well and it will be difficult to see where they

were originally made.

Q- What is the difference between Cosmetic and Reconstructive surgery?

Ans- Typically, the difference exists in the purpose of surgery . Cosmetic surgery performed

with the primary goal of improving one's appearance. Reconstructive surgery is performed to

 improve

personal health, body function or alleviate disease and is often considered medically 

necessary.
