Liposuction is a very popular cosmetic procedure, so popular in fact, that it was the top cosmetic surgical procedure in the world in 2022 and 2023, with over 2.2 million procedures Performed. Its popularity is based on the fact that it can remove stubborn fat deposits from specific areas on the body, which helps patients achieve their dream body contours. It is important to note, however, that liposuction should not be used as a weight loss solution but rather a procedure that targets fat that resists traditional methods of removal like diet and exercise. The results from liposuction can transform patient’s body shape which can really boost confidence or the right candidate. Let’s have a look at some examples of suitable candidates for liposuction.
An Athletic Individual with Stubborn Fat
As people who have stubborn fat will know, sometimes exercise and diet, no matter how vigorous simply isn’t enough and the stubborn fat remains. Common areas for stubborn fat to be found include:
- Thighs
- Hips
- Arms
- Abs
Liposuction can help these fitness enthusiasts refine their physique by specifically targeting those trouble spots, allowing their hard-earned muscle definition to shine through.
Post-Pregnancy Mothers Looking to Tighten Up
Pregnancy brings many changes, including the potential for excess fat around the abdomen. For mothers who have returned to their pre-pregnancy weight yet struggle with stubborn belly fat that doesn’t respond to exercise, liposuction offers a way to regain their pre-baby body shape and feel more comfortable in their skin.
Middle-Aged Professionals Coping with Age-Related Fat Accumulation
As people age, metabolic changes can lead to the development of stubborn fat in areas such as the back or under the chin. Metabolic changes combined with a sedentary lifestyle sitting at a desk for large parts of the day are a perfect recipe for stubborn fat deposits. Middle-aged professionals who are otherwise healthy but notice these frustrating changes might consider liposuction to maintain a youthful appearance and enhance their professional and personal confidence.
Weight Loss Achievers Looking for the Final Touch
People who have successfully lost a lot of weight to get healthy and look good often find that some pockets of fat remain, particularly in the arms or sides. For these weight loss champions, liposuction can be the final step on their journey. They’ve worked hard in the gym, dieted, led a clean lifestyle and they are now looking to add the finishing touches to their transformation and complement their overall success.
Those with Genetic Predispositions to Fat Storage
Unfortunately, some people are just genetically predisposed to store fat in areas like the lower abdomen or inner thighs, despite being fit and healthy overall. Liposuction can help achieve these people a proportional body shape to align with their overall physical appearance and active lifestyle. They’ll also find it will greatly improve their self-confidence.
