Breast Augmentation: What You Need to Know – Sketch Plastic Surgery
October 31, 2023
We all want to feel good about our bodies, but for some, it is difficult to achieve a toned and proportionate physique. Not because they are too lazy to exercise, but because they have stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Luckily, body contouring liposuction is possible.
What is Body Liposuction?
Where on the body can I get liposuction?
You can have liposuction on various parts of your body, including:
- Abdomen: Liposuction of the abdominal area can help achieve a flatter and more defined stomach. The abdomen is often divided into upper and lower areas that can be treated separately. The lower area is responsible for the dreaded “muffin top,” making it a popular liposuction place. Meanwhile, the upper area is between the belly button and ribs, which can also stubbornly hold onto a layer of fat. You can have the treatment for the upper and lower abdomen separately, or as discussed by the surgeon.

- Thighs: Thigh liposuction targets the inner thighs, outer thighs (saddlebags), or both, enhancing leg contour.
- Knees: It removes the excess fat from the area around the knees. Knee contouring helps improve the overall appearance of the legs and achieve a more toned look.
- Flanks: Focuses on removing excess fat from the flank area, which is the region located on the sides of the torso, just above the hips. It helps create a more sculpted and balanced appearance in the waist and hip region.
- Love Handles: Enhances body contours, reduce these unwanted fat deposits, and create a more sculpted and balanced appearance in the waist and hip region.
- Hips: Hip liposuction focuses on the hip area achieving a more balanced appearance, and creating a more defined waist-to-hip ratio.
- Buttocks: Buttock liposuction can improve the shape and definition of the buttocks.
- Arms: Arm liposuction can eliminate excess fat in the upper arms, reducing the appearance of “bat wings.”
- Back: Liposuction on the upper or lower back can enhance body proportions.
- Chest: In males, chest liposuction can address gynecomastia, reducing excess breast tissue.
- Calves and Ankles: Liposuction in the lower legs can enhance calf and ankle definition.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) at Sketch Plastic Surgery
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used for the removal of excess fat from various areas of the body. It is a refinement of the traditional liposuction procedure, designed to make the process more efficient and precise.
This technique allows for more precise and controlled fat removal, which can be especially valuable in areas with delicate or fibrous fat deposits. What makes PAL a better option is its recovery is generally faster than traditional liposuction.

Who are Good Candidates for Body Liposuction?
If you are wondering if you are fit for the procedure, here are the characteristics of a good candidate for body liposuction:
- Stable weight. Candidates should be at or near their ideal or stable weight. Liposuction is not a suitable option for significant weight loss but is intended to address stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet and exercise.
- Targeted fat deposits. Liposuction is most effective for individuals with specific areas of localized fat deposits.
Recovery After Body Liposuction
Recovering from body liposuction is a crucial phase of your cosmetic journey. You need to follow the aftercare instructions of your cosmetic surgeon to avoid any post-operative complications.
After your procedure, you will spend an hour in the recovery area to monitor your vital signs. Once stable, you can return home the same day.
You have to wear compression garments to reduce swelling, promote healing, and maintain new contours. Small drainage tubes and dressings at the incision sites may be present to collect excess fluids. These will be removed on the follow-up appointment.
Be prepared that recovery is long-term. You have to gradually reintroduce regular exercise and maintain a healthy diet to preserve your liposuction results. Consult your cosmetic surgeon about your recovery concerns.
Benefits Of Liposuction
- Improved Body Contour: Effectively removes excess fat from targeted areas, resulting in a more sculpted and balanced body contour.
- Localized Fat Reduction: Effective for addressing localized fat deposits that may be resistant to diet and exercise.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence: Achieving a more aesthetically pleasing body shape can boost self-esteem and confidence, improving self-image and quality of life.
- Precise Body Sculpting: Allows precise and customized body sculpting. Surgeons can contour specific areas to create a more defined and harmonious appearance.
