Liposuction is an advanced procedure that allows a plastic surgeon to remove fatty deposits.
There are several different techniques for liposuction, which can be used on many areas of the body. While many people know that liposuction can be used for the belly, legs and other areas that collect fat, it can also be used to shape certain trouble spots that are hard to fix with weight loss or fitness goals. These areas can often bother people, but liposuction can be used as an effective solution to target these places on the body. Here are some areas where liposuction can address trouble spots and help improve your appearance.
The Chin
If fatty deposits in your is causing your face to sag or your chin to sag or a double chin to form, then liposuction can be used to improve the jawline and reduce jowls. People who have a jowly jawline or extra chins often say that their facial appearance makes them look prematurely aged. Liposuction is a great procedure to slim the jawline by removing fatty deposits under the skin and throughout the upper neck. Liposuction to the chin and neck is one of the most effective ways to create a more youthful appearance. This procedure is common for both men and women.
The Torso
Sometimes even women with a slender figure will fill unsatisfied with fatty deposits in the the back and upper torso. Women will often notice these problem spots around swimsuit tops and bras. Liposuction can be used to shape these trouble spots, improving the contour of the body and revealing smoother, uninterrupted curves.
The Ankles
If too many fatty deposits form around the ankle, your legs can lose their elegant appeal. You know these ugly ankles as “cankles” and if you have them, liposuction may be an option to help return your legs to a more slender appearance. Liposuction is great for to help improve the shape of the leg, with more graceful and shapelier lines around the ankle.
The Breasts
When a woman’s bustline is too large, it can be uncomfortable and create problems in wardrobe choices, performing activities and attracting unwanted attention. However, women can also have concerns about scarring from standard breast reduction surgery. But liposuction provides a way to remove some of the fatty tissue from around the breast. While using liposuction won’t produce the significant decrease in size of a breast reduction procedure, but it can work very effectively for subtle shaping and to create a more sculpted silhouette.
A Man’s Chest
Sometimes men also feel uncomfortable about how their chest looks. Many times when a man ages, hormonal related changes will lead to the development of gynecomastia, a formation of male breasts. Liposuction can be used to reduce this effect. Men will often turn to liposuction in order to reveal more muscular definition and give the chest a torso that is more firm and streamlined.
