Suction Assisted Lipectomy (SAL) or liposuction is a surgical technique in which the removal of fat deposits reshapes a specific part of the body, such as the face, neck, arms, abdomen, hips, or thighs. Liposuction, which was actively practiced in Europe during the mid 1970s, was not popularized in the United States until the early 1980s. Since then it has become the most requested aesthetic surgical procedure. The popularity of this operation is based on its relative simplicity which requires only a small incision usually well hidden in a normal skin fold.

Frequently, patients seek liposuction to reduce their weight and general obesity. Unfortunately, liposuction is not indicated to treat these problems. Standard methods of weight reduction are required for these patients. Liposuction is intended to re-sculpt isolated collections of body fat that would not generally respond to diet and exercise; it is a method of body contouring to reduce inches, not pounds. The good news is that the suctioned fat cells are permanently removed. If the patient gains weight later on, the new fat will be distributed in a more proportioned manner.

Who should have liposuction?

Patients with average weight, localized fat collections, and healthy elastic skin are the best candidates for liposuction. Obesity, cellulite, or loose sagging inelastic skin are several problems that would tend toward poor results. In fact, these problems may be worsened by liposuction. Unfortunately, many individuals performing liposuction are not trained in other techniques of body contouring and may not have the experience to recognize that a different procedure (such as a tummy tuck) may provide a better result for the patient. SAL may be used in conjunction with other body contouring procedures, such as breast reduction, tummy tuck, thigh-lift, or face lift. Find plastic surgeons in Chicago Illinois that offer liposuction, abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery.
