Planning for Summer

As the new year begins, many of us make resolutions about diet and exercise, hoping to have a body ready for skin-baring summer time activities. Women, especially, worry about how to camouflage the perceived flaws in their bodies when they're in their beach wear. Indeed, it's always best to get into the discipline of a regular exercise routine and make efforts to have a good healthy diet, not only for aesthetic reasons. In fact, even people who want to undergo cosmetic procedures such as liposuction need to develop discipline to ensure the best results. Some resort to having cosmetic surgery such as liposuction to help them achieve the look they want. If a patient has an area in their body that exercise and dieting has been unable to reduce, this localized fatty deposit is perfect for liposuction. Although most patients for liposuction are women, this procedure is also popular among men.

The best patient for liposuction is
in good physical health, near their ideal body weight (only 10 or 20 pounds overweight) and have good skin elasticity. Liposuction is not a cure for obesity and there is a limit to the amount of fat tissue that can be removed safely from the human body. Patients may think that having liposuction will make them look like their ideal or give them a perfect body. They may think that they will be treated differently by people or that they will be happier after liposuction. Unfortunately, these are unrealistic expectations. Good results will help increase self-confidence but you won't necessarily get your ideal body. Nevertheless, liposuction can improve a persons silhouette or shape dramatically and if patient's expectations are realistic, they are most often very satisfied with the results of the procedure.
