Do you dream of a sleek and toned body? The truth is, most people do. But for many women and men, stubborn areas of fat on the body can be tough to address or improve. Often times, excess fat around the belly or on the thighs, love handles and even the arms are resistant to exercise and a healthy diet.
Some folks are predisposed genetically to a surplus of fat in certain areas. Other are looking to enhance their appearance with just a bit of fat removal. In either case, liposuction can be a viable solution for fat reduction and body contouring.
Dr. Andrew Lofman, metro Detroit plastic surgeon, takes a customized approach to all of his cosmetic treatments, including liposuction. Read on for more.
WHAT’S BOTHERING YOU?
Some of the most common body areas that accumulate stubborn fat are the hips, thighs, stomach, chin, neck, waist and arms. The good news is that liposuction can address all of these areas quickly and with minimal downtime.
Women, particularly, may find that fat accumulates around the belly area (sometimes, but not always, due to pregnancy) or the inner and outer thighs and hips. Liposuction can trim and slim the thighs and create a more feminine shape by removing excess fat from the hip and love handle area as well as flattening the stomach.
Men also tend to accumulate fat on and around the stomach. However, another common area of the body liposuction can address on men is the chest. Flabbiness in the chest area can present a less manly appearance. Some men suffer with gynecomastia, and a male breast reduction utilizing liposuction can achieve a contoured, masculine result.
LIPOSUCTION CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU
Liposuction is a very common cosmetic treatment that is safe and effective. Dr. Lofman is highly experienced in liposuction in Michigan and has treated countless patients with liposuction, removing extra deposits of fat and offering a more aesthetically pleasing, contoured appearance.
Many people opt for liposuction on its own while others choose to combine liposuction with other treatments like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation, for example. Regardless, learning about the best options for you begins with a consultation with Dr. Andrew.
