If you are near a healthy weight but have certain problem areas like thighs, arms, or back, you may be an ideal candidate for liposuction. Liposuction is an effective way to sculpt your body, and these days both traditional and non-surgical procedures achieve results.
Traditional Liposuction
Traditional liposuction involves a small tube called a canula which is inserted under the skin and drains fat and fluids from problem areas. This is still a hugely reliable procedure, though it can be expensive – $3,000 to nearly $10,000, depending on the area.
Laser Liposuction
Doctors have found that using lasers to allow fat cells to release their fat helps solve many of the sagging skin issues associated with liposuction. Combining lasers with traditional lipo produces the best results, but for slight sculpting needs, it can be effective on its own.
Ultrasound Liposuction
Ultrasound technology destroys fat tissues very effectively and can be a fantastic option for many patients. A single treatment is $2,700, but that is usually all that’s needed.
Cool Sculpting
The process of freezing fat cells has become very popular. It costs $1,500 per session, and at least two sessions are needed. The procedure is painless and the results are permanent.
Mesotherapy
For patients looking for a more affordable option, mesotherapy involves injecting chemicals into fat cells over many sessions and can also smooth wrinkles. It costs $250-$750 per session, but it can be slightly more painful than other non-surgical choices.
No matter which option works for you, talk to your doctor to make sure you are a good candidate for liposuction. With safety and convenience in mind, there’s nothing stopping you from achieving the body you’ve always imagined.
