Liposuction Procedures offered by Reynolds Plastic Surgery
If you have been considering liposuction in the past, you may have been wondering exactly where on your body you can get the procedure done. In truth, the sky’s the limit. Still, Las Vegas plastic surgeons have compiled a list of the 10 most common areas on which liposuction is used as a solution for stubborn fat cells.
Abdomen
Depending on who you ask, liposuction in the abdominal area is the most common plastic surgery procedure to date. That’s because, even with proper diet and exercise, there is fat around the abdomen that just will not take the hint. This is often paired with a traditional tummy tuck, however.
Belly Pooch
It is possible for fat in the abdomen to be localized in one area. This can most commonly be seen in people of normal weight with a stubborn fat pocket on the lower belly. By all definitions, this person is the ideal candidate for liposuction.
Love Handle
Whether you are male or female, fat deposits on the sides of the abdomen can be frustratingly stubborn. Liposuction in this area is often the solution for this problem that haunts even the most active people.
Muffin Top
This is just another term for the love handle. In some circles, it is considered a more severe version of the slightly padded love handle. That is because there is enough excess skin around the abdomen and lower back that it spills over the waistband of pants. When this happens, the lower body takes on a look very similar to the top of a muffin.
Bra Fat
This refers to the extra fat tissue that collects on the upper back. Depending on the severity of the condition, rolls can be present all the time or only when a bra is worn. If the skin has been stretched too far, a back lift might be needed to give the full contouring you are looking for. Just speak with one of our staff for more information regarding that.
Female Breasts
While rare, it is possible to treat overly large breasts with liposuction alone. This can only happen if the breasts in question are fatty and also perky. If there is any degree of sagginess or excess skin, it may be a better idea to consider a breast lift in addition to liposuction.
Arms
This is another area that can usually be treated more effectively with an additional procedure. If flabbiness of the arm is because of excess fat and skin, then an arm lift should be considered as well.
Double Chin
This happens when there is extra fat and skin in the chin and neck that makes it look like you have two chins. If you still experience the sloping chin look even after weight loss, you are the perfect candidate for liposuction in this area.
Buffalo Hump
The buffalo hump is created when there is a deposit of fat that sits on the upper back and the neck. It is usually caused by a treatment of steroids that cause the body to create more fat cells than necessary. In many cases, a simple liposuction procedure will take care of this.
Male Breasts
Yes, men get liposuction as well. The gynecomastia surgery Las Vegas offers is used to remove enlarged male breasts that were caused by hormones, steroids or even drug use.
