If you want to have a body that you can be proud of, it is going to require some work on your part. You are going to need to take care of your body by eating healthy food and by getting proper exercise. If you are overweight, you need to take steps to lose weight to have a firm, toned body and not deal with all of the health problems that come from obesity.

There are times when a person works really hard to shed pounds and maintain a healthy weight, but no matter what they do, they deal with unwanted pockets of fat on their body. They may see these pockets of fat in their abdomen, on their thighs, on their arms and in other places. Fortunately, procedures like liposuction can help to get rid of unwanted pockets of fat.

For the most part, liposuction is not used to remove a lot of weight from an individual. It is important to understand that the procedure has been designed to remove pockets of fat. Liposuction can even remove fat from a patient’s neck. You will need to take care of your body to the best of your ability, and then liposuction can do the rest.

One of the most important things that an individual needs to understand before getting liposuction done on their body is that the results are going to vary. It is important to have a clear idea of what the results may be to not feel dissatisfied with the treatment. For one thing, you need to seriously think about what you will look like after treatment and have realistic expectations.

Let’s just say you weigh 140 pounds. If you have a couple of pounds removed from each thigh and some fat removed from your abdomen, you are definitely going to weigh less and feel more satisfied with your body. However, you are not going to fit into the clothing that you had when you only weighed 115 pounds and were a teenager. During a consultation at our office, we will get an understanding of your aesthetic goals and then give you a realistic idea of what you can expect from liposuction.

We encourage you to sit down with the experts at the office of Dr. Beth Collins, MD in Guilford to see if liposuction is right for you. This procedure may be just what you need to achieve your cosmetic goals. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
