Obesity Treatment

Although liposuction isn't an obesity treatment, it can be a solution worth considering.

Many obese people turn to liposuction for help, but that's only the beginningPost-Weight Loss Liposuction

Studies suggest that obesity is associated with serious diseases and illnesses. A growing majority of adults in the United States are either overweight or obesity overweight. Finding out what causes obesity and losing a large amount of weight can be an important step toward improving your appearance, self-esteem and long-term health.

Unfortunately, losing large amounts of weight can result in sagging, excess skin that has lost its elasticity. Unsightly skin folds cause more than cosmetic problems—rashes and painful chafing can also occur. By combining liposuction and skin excision, a surgeon can perform a “body lift.” This procedure aims to reshape the body, freeing patients from bothersome skin.

Liposuction and Skin-TighteningLipo coupled with a body lift can help eliminate sagging skin

While laser-assisted liposuction tightens the skin a small amount, most techniques don’t impact skin firmness. After fat removal, skin around the treated area can become loose or saggy. It can take up to six months to regain elasticity, and some patients never regain elasticity. Individual results vary as the skin of some patients retracts faster than others. Younger skin, for example, is more elastic.

Patients with drooping skin may want to consider additional body-lifting procedures in conjunction with liposuction. Rhytidectomy (face lift), mastoplexy (breast lift) and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) are common body-lifting procedures. It’s important to note that combining liposuction with other procedures can increase the risk of complications.
