Weight gain and obesity are on the rise in the United States.  Many people struggle to stay at a healthy weight.  Fitness and healthy food choices are also very important to most people.  However, if you have tried diet and exercise and have not been able to get rid of certain fatty deposits, there are other options available to you.  The most-requested procedure cosmetic surgery South Florida physicians perform is liposuction.  Liposuction uses suction or a vacuuming type of action to remove fat from various areas of the body.

Liposuction has improved greatly over the years, and for many patients requesting cosmetic surgery, South Florida plastic surgeons are using the Smart Lipo laser liposuction.  This newer technique allows the areas where fat is removed to be finely sculpted for a pleasing shape and contour.  The use of a laser improves the overall procedure and gives more patients the look they are hoping for.  Traditional liposuction and laser liposuction procedures both work for removal of fat.  Your physician will help you decide which procedures will work best for you.

People who have fatty deposits around the hips or thighs, love handles, or excess fat in the tummy area or upper arms are all good candidates for the liposuction procedure.  When discussing cosmetic surgery, South Florida surgeons work closely with the patient to determine which procedures will best achieve the desired results.  Board certified plastic surgeons with years of experience will give you confidence in their work, so if you want to remove some stubborn, hard to remove fat from certain areas of your body, then you should consider liposuction.
