Top five reasons why people have liposuction
There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to the reasons behind having cosmetic surgery, but plastic surgeons at reputable cosmetic surgery clinics should always advise on the best course of action for each individual, even if that means recommending that they don’t have the surgery at all. Many people have liposuction each year and here are the top five reasons why:
One – To achieve body symmetry
Many people feel that their bodies are out of proportion, hence the coining of the phrases “pear-shaped”, “top heavy”, “muffin top” and so on, and because it is essentially impossible to target one area of the body from which to lose weight, people are increasingly turning to liposuction surgery to achieve a body that is in proportion.
Two – To lose weight quickly
Many people find it difficult to stick to healthy eating plans and exercise regimes and as such, turn to cosmetic surgery and gastric band surgery for a quick solution. This is not a good reason to have liposuction as it was not designed to act as a weight loss tool, but unfortunately people still turn to it when they are overweight.
Three – To regain a pre-pregnancy shape
Women can suffer from hard to shift, post-baby weight and for them, liposuction and tummy tuck surgery can be the only viable option if they wish to regain the figure they had before they fell pregnant. A combination of these procedures is becoming more and more popular among new mums.
Four – To get rid of love handles or reduce breast size
Men have caught on to the cosmetic surgery coat tails and they now account for the largest area of growth in the industry. More and more men are choosing to have fat removal surgery to remove love handles and reduce so-called beer bellies, while lots of women are still choosing liposuction as part of the breast reduction procedure.
Five – To treat gynaecomastia (“man boobs”)
Because “man boobs” can’t be got rid of through exercise and healthy eating alone, more and more men are realising that chest reduction surgery is a viable option and a simple procedure.
One thing is for sure, the common thread among these five reasons is that all liposuction patients want to increase the confidence they feel about the way their body looks, and this is good reason enough in most people’s minds.
