Those last 10 pounds won t budge. The cellulite is driving you crazy. You wish you could feel comfortable in a bathing suit again. You ve heard about the liposuction procedure, and have considered it. But is liposuction for you?

The Big Slurp — Vacuuming the Fat

Basically, liposuction works in two steps: The fat deposits are broken down to a liquid. This can be with ultrasound or a liquid injected into the fat. The fat is then suctioned out of the body. Sounds easy enough, right? As with most things, if it sounds too easy, there must be a catch.

Liposuction Facts

First, you can t be significantly overweight. Many surgeons won t remove more than 10 or so pounds of fat, so don t expect to use it as your weight loss plan. In addition, you can t have any major health risks.

Although the procedure is relatively simple, the recovery can be somewhat painful. Fortunately the liposuction procedure has improved over the last several years and the recovery time is shorter these days, and less uncomfortable.

You might have sagging skin where the fat has been removed — for a few months or permanently. In any case, don t expect perfection immediately, but it does get better over time.

Liposuction Procedure Costs

First, remember that this is plastic surgery, not bariatric surgery. Therefore, unless you are exceedingly lucky, your health insurance won t pay for it.

You ll need to choose a surgeon with a good track record of success for the area of the body your want suctioned.

While you can certainly shop around for price (and the price does vary with where you live and how much fat you need removed), but be wary of a price that is much lower than the others. Bad liposuction is much worse than no liposuction.
