If you are considering liposuction in Schaumburg, or any other area across the nation, you need to first find out if you are a suitable candidate. A reputable medical center or surgeon won’t agree to do the surgery unless he or she feels comfortable that you are a viable candidate for the surgery. While liposuction advances have come a long way in recent years, it is still used as a last resort for weight loss. Typically, you will need to consult with a surgeon and undergo several tests and physical examinations before making a final decision. Generally, though, you would be considered a good candidate for liposuction under the following circumstances:
* You are obese or morbidly obese: If you only have 10 or 20 pounds to lose, your surgeon will likely recommend you use other methods to lose weight. If you are considered obese (say, have more than 50 or 60 pounds to lose) you could be a candidate.
* Fat deposits: If you have fat deposits that are out of proportion with your body and don’t go away by traditional diet and exercise, you may be a good candidate.
* Minimal amounts of extra skin: Because liposuction gets rid of fat, not skin, if you don’t have a lot of extra, it could be a sign that you have good elasticity.
* Excess fat in certain areas of the body: There are places on your body that are known to be ‘diet resistant’. This includes your neck, upper arms, trunk, abdomen, ‘man’ breasts, and ankles. Liposuction can help get rid of fat in all of these problem areas.
