Tumescent
liposuction is not a good way to lose weight.
Actually very little
weight is removed by this operation. Suction lipectomy is a technique
to sculpt localized collections of fat. It is a tool of refinement.
Weight loss is the coarser tool. You are better off getting closer to
your ideal weight first and then using plastic surgery to refine the
resistant localized problem areas. Some doctors are trying to expand
the boundaries of safe Tumescent Liposuction by removing massive amounts
of fat from very obese people. This large volume liposuction has very
significant risks and can be dangerous despite some excellent results.
Dr. Bermant urges caution about the hype surrounding what otherwise might sound
like a "quick fix" for those unable to loose weight.
