Laser Lipo Guidelines and Requirements 0
There are many reasons why a person would want liposuction surgery. Some prefer liposuction for particular treatment areas as an alternative to another plastic surgery procedure because the results are predictable and a desirable step toward the persons goals. One such example is breast reduction liposuction where instead of a breast augmentation procedure to reduce the breast size, or a breast lift to improve the perkiness of the breasts a patient chooses liposuction knowing that it will both reduce the size and cause the increased perkiness as a side effect. The only important thing here is that the patient has realistic expectations from the surgery.
That is just one of many requirements a person must be able to prove to the plastic surgeon that they are qualified for the procedure. Guidelines for the type of person who may be a worthwhile candidate for laser liposuction treatment will not be unlike the requirements for regular liposuction, other techniques of liposuction or pretty much any cosmetic enhancement procedure.
Specifically, any prospective patient considering this procedure cannot be more than 30 pounds over their ideal weight based on the persons body type and height. The patient must be in generally good physical condition and relatively in shape. With laser liposuction, the ideal candidate moreover has maintained a constant body weight for at least one year and will have sufficient skin elasticity around the place being treated. While skin elasticity is not a requirement, damaged or aged skin will not contract as well so the resulting tightened skin is much less likely. Sometimes it is not uncommon for a complementary procedure such as a face lift for those receiving facial liposuction.
Proving that they can maintain a healthy weight consistently is important because it can be very dangerous to gain an excessive amount of weight after any liposuction surgery. Once the fat cells are removed from the body there are fewer fat cells to distribute the excess accumulation of fat. Such a scenario would put the patients health in a very precarious position.
