Liposuction
is the most commonly performed plastic surgery in the United States.
This technique is used to reshape the body by permanently removing
localized fat deposits. Generally, the suctioning is performed in
the low back above the buttocks, the back of the thigh just below
the buttock fold or on the hip at the side of the buttock. The goal
is to create a natural rounded curve to the buttock that recalls
the look of the slim, well-proportioned athletic body.
The tendency to accumulate fatty deposits on the buttocks may be
inherited, and these deposits are often resistant to diet and exercise.
Many patients become discouraged at having lost unwanted pounds
without seeing a significant change in this area. The overall proportions
of the body may be unbalanced, and the extra bulk can keep clothes
from fitting well. In these cases, liposuction can successfully
trim excess fat to bring better balance and symmetry to the body.
Liposuction is not a weight loss technique, and is not a cure for
overall obesity. It is, however, a great way to get rid of those
bulges that you cannot seem to get rid of any other way. If’ you’re
considering buttocks liposuction, the following information will
provide you with a good introduction to the procedure. |

| What will happen
at the initial consultation? |
| During the consultation, you’ll be able
to talk to your doctor about the changes you would like to make in
your appearance. He/she will explain the different options available
to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, and the costs.Your
surgeon will begin with a physical examination to evaluate your overall
weight, your skin and muscle tone, and the fat deposits in various
parts of your body. He/she will also record your complete medical
history, including any medications that you are currently taking.
Your doctor will probably ask you questions about your diet &
weight history. Click
here for a list of questions you should be prepared to
answer.
If you are just concerned about removing fat, liposuction alone
will achieve that goal. But if you want an athletic, sculpted look,
and you want to look great in a bikini, you may need to incorporate
extensive exercise into your plan. Be sure to ask all the questions
you have about the procedure, and ask to see photos
of the doctor’s recent liposuction surgeries, before and after treatment.
Also ask for, and follow up on, patient references. Learning everything
you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making
an informed decision. See Questions to ask your
doctor below.

| How is buttocks
liposuction performed? |
| Before surgery, the surgeon will mark the
precise areas of the body where the fat is to be removed. An intravenous
(IV) line will be inserted in a vein in your arm to make sure the
fluid level in your body remains in balance. You or your doctor may
opt for general anesthesia, or you may be local anesthesia and a sedative
for relaxation.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision in the
skin, typically in or near the buttock crease, and inserts a thin
tube called a cannula into the fatty area. The cannula is used to
break up the fat deposits and sculpt the area to the desired proportions.
The unwanted fat is suctioned out with a powerful vacuum, leaving
the skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels intact.
