Liposuction - Perth Western Australia
Liposuction is the procedure of reshaping the male or female body by removing pockets of excess fat from the body. The areas most commonly reshaped by Liposuction include the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. The tumescent method of Liposuction used by Dr Goldman is considered now the most effective and safest form of liposuction. This method uses very fine instruments resulting in less post operative bruising, swelling and pain compared to other techniques. The tumescent technique also enables more precise body sculpting and targeting of specific areas resulting in smoother, more even results. Below are images of a patient both before and after Liposuction.

An interesting and important area to consider here concerning Liposuction is the area of permanent results. The human body has a fixed number of fat cells from the time we pass puberty. While fat cells within us may change in size and shape as we lose or gain weight, the actual number of fat cells within our bodies does not change. Therefore Liposuction directly targets the problem areas by reducing the number of fat cells in that specific area. The change in body shape is as a result permanent, even with subsequent weight gain.
Reasons For Choosing To Have Liposuction.
The most important point to raise here is that Liposuction should not be seen as a substitute for weight loss achieved by employing a healthy diet and exercise program in ones own life. It should be seen as a tool for changing your body shape where fat deposits are resistant to change from a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Liposuction - Making The Best Choices For You.
To make the best choices for you and give you the results you wish to achieve, it is important to have the right information and to be guided through the process by an experienced Surgeon. The ideal candidate for Liposuction is someone close to their ideal weight. Also, being in sound medical condition aids significantly in the healing process.
Younger patients with moderate amounts of fat and good skin tone achieve excellent results with Liposuction, as their skin readily retracts when the fat is removed.
Older patients with diminished skin elasticity need to weigh up the benefits of the procedure against the possibility that the skin many not entirely retract. Dr Goldman will advise you of the appropriate volume of fat which can be removed to minimise sagging skin. A better outcome may be achieved with smaller multiple procedures over time.
During a professional consultation with Dr Goldman, he will guide you through the options available and provide you with extensive reading material to take home which will assist you in the decision making process.
