Your Personal Liposuction Consultation - Chicago Lipoplasty
Because of individual
physical factors, not everyone will achieve the same results from
ultrasonic liposuction.
Your plastic surgeon will take into consideration your unique characteristics in
determining the most effective treatment. During the consultation, you will be
asked to point out the exact areas which you would like to see improved. This
will help your surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether
they can realistically be achieved.
How will
my plastic surgeon evaluate me for ultrasonic liposuction?
You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions you may have such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. Your surgeon will want to know about previous surgeries, medical treatments and medications that you currently take. It is important for you to provide complete information.
How much you currently weigh and whether you plan to lose or gain weight in the future will be factors in evaluating you for ultrasonic liposuction. Your plastic surgeon may ask you about the effects of prior weight loss on the appearance of those areas which you have indicated for contouring. He or she will assess the elasticity of your skin and estimate the amount of fat to be removed for optimal results.
