Liposuction (Lipo) | Honolulu, Hawaii

What You Should Know About The Liposculpture Process

     Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure to remove fat from your body. This procedure, also called liposculpture or lipo, can target many different areas. It can take fat from the abdomen, the neck, thighs, buttocks area, the arms and other places.  In some cases skilled liposculpture can create the impression of greater reduction than the actual amount of fat removed.

     The desired liposuction goal might not be achievable in a single session. One of the main reasons is the health risk, which rises with the amount of fat removed. Therefore it's better to break up the total liposuction into separate operations to minimize your risk. Today's liposuction is extremely safe due to new technology. But it's also safer because of practices like this one that put the patient's overall health first.

     Another issue you should be aware of are the limits the surgeon may set on how much total fat is removed. This limit may be lower than the amount you wish to have removed. However, if liposuction is overdone, the result can be a lumpy look to the body. In some cases, skin indentations known as ‘dents’ can also result from an ‘over-suction’. Dr. Ching’s aim is give you an overall healthy, pleasing appearance, free from these effects.

Other Factors In Your Liposuction

     Your overall health and the type of anesthesia used can also have a direct impact on the amount of liposuction performed. The surgeon has the options of local or general anesthesia, chosen on the basis of your unique conditions. Ultimately, your well-being comes first in all cosmetic surgery decisions. It’s better to do 2 safe sessions than to risk your health by attempting to do it all in 1.

     Liposuction should not be used in place, or instead of, exercise or a diet. It should not be used as a quick fix for weight loss. In some cases, though, skilled liposculpture can create the impression of greater reduction than the actual amount of fat removed.
