Getting Rid of Stubborn Fat Deposits on a Budget
By George Lefkovits MD | Published on September 2, 2011 | 0 Comments
Sometimes you can do everything right – eat healthy foods, drink lots of water and get regular exercise – and still not get the results you’re looking for. When the slim, contoured body you want seems to always elude you, it may be time to consult a cosmetic surgeon. And for exercise-resistant fat deposits, liposuction is the treatment of choice.
To most women in NYC, affordable liposuction seems like a pipe dream. But it’s not necessarily, says George Lefkovits, MD. At Affordable Plastic Surgery in NYC, affordable liposuction is not only a reality; it’s also a great way to boost your confidence, achieve the contoured look you want and begin loving the body you see in the mirror.
How Is Liposuction Performed?
There are a number of ways to perform liposuction. One of the safest and most common is called “tumescent” liposuction. Tumescent liposuction involves the injection of fluid anesthetic into the areas to be liposuctioned. Small, inconspicuous incisions are made, through which small tube-like instruments (called cannulas) are inserted. The cannulas are attached to a liposuction machine which draws the targeted fat cells from the body.
Who Can Benefit from Liposuction?
Liposuction is best for patients who are at or close to their ideal weight, but have one or more areas of localized fat that doesn’t seem to respond to changes in diet or exercise. Good candidates for liposuction are generally healthy, and have skin that is relatively elastic. While younger patients tend to have better skin tone than older patients, age is not a limiting factor for liposuction. So long as you are healthy and your skin has adequate elasticity, liposuction may be an option for you.
Are Results Permanent?
Liposuction is a means of permanently eliminating excess fat cells from the body. Those fat cells, Dr. Lefkovits explains, will never grow back. However, if you should experience significant weight gain after your liposuction procedure, the fat cells that remain will become larger. But once you lose the excess weight, those cells should return to the size they were after your procedure, and your results will be restored.
If you’ve considered liposuction but assumed you couldn’t afford it, Dr. Lefkovits and the team of experts at Affordable Plastic Surgery can help. Dr. Lefkovits has been in private practice since 1981, and has received widespread attention for his skill and excellent results. Recently, Dr. Lefkovits opened Affordable Plastic Surgery in response to the growing number of patients seeking cosmetic surgery, but who couldn’t afford the standard fees. At Affordable Plastic Surgery in NYC, affordable liposuction can be yours, and you can begin experiencing the benefits of the beautifully contoured body you’ve always wanted.
