Liposuction for Fat Removal
Liposuction is recommended for physically fit people who are at an optimum weight, but are bothered by pockets of fat resistant to their weight loss diet and exercise efforts. It is a common misconception that liposuction is a surgical short-cut to weight loss. The type of fat removed by liposuction is called subcutaneous fat, meaning it is located just under the skin, like cellulite.
Overweight people are not good candidates for liposuction because much of their fat is visceral fat which surrounds their vital internal organs. The only way to release visceral fat is to lose weight through diet and exercise. However, once the weight has been lost, liposuction can be used to remove stubborn fat pockets that resisted even the best weight loss diet and exercise efforts.
