Liposuction
Liposuction is most commonly recommended for men and women of near normal weight who simply want to improve their body contour. The procedure can produce excellent results for people who have localized deposits of excess fat that make certain body areas appear disproportionately large. Although Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity, it can permanently alter body proportion and is sometimes the only way to eliminate fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.

You may be a good candidate for Liposuction if you desire fat removal or contouring in any of the following areas:

* Cheeks, chin and neck
* Upper arms
* Breast or chest area
* Back
* Abdomen and waist
* Hips and buttocks
* Thighs
* Inner knee
* Calves and ankles

Abdominoplasty
The best candidates for Abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise.

Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone the surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy.

Abdominoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and future plans. Please discuss them with Dr. Mealer.
