Before you dive into the sea of misinformation on the World Wide Web, read our list of the most common myths and facts surrounding High-Definition Liposuction.
Question — does this sound like you?
“I’ve put in the blood, sweat, and tears into the gym and my diet, but the fat still isn’t melting away. Now it feels like all my hard work has gone to waste.”
If so, High-Definition Liposuction is your ticket to getting that dream vacation bod.
However, there are many myths and misconceptions out there that can lead to unrealistic expectations and disappointment. In this article, we will bust the most common ones and give you the cold-hard facts.
High-Definition Liposuction is a type of liposuction that removes fat from two layers: the superficial and the deep. The superficial layer is near the skin and covers the muscles. The deep layer is just under the superficial layer and is mainly responsible for the body looking bulky or flabby. The good news is HD Liposuction removes both types of fat to reveal the muscle contours and create a sculpted appearance.
It can be performed on almost any area of the body with excess fat, such as the abdomen, chest, arms, back, flanks, thighs, and neck. It can also be combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck, facelift, or breast reduction, to enhance the overall results.
Here are 10 of the most common myths about High-Definition Liposuction and the facts that debunk them:
Myth #1: It’s a weight loss surgery
Fact: It’s safe when performed by a qualified surgeon. But, like any surgery, there are risks like bleeding, infection, and possible anesthesia complications. It’s essential to discuss the risks and benefits of liposuction with your surgeon before deciding to go under the knife.
Myth #3: It’s only for women
Fact: HD Liposuction is for both men and women. Liposuction can be used to improve the appearance of the male body just as effectively as it can enhance the appearance of the female body.
Although famous for women, high-definition liposuction for men is quickly growing in popularity to help achieve the following:
Myth #4: It’s good to consume a lot of liquids after surgery
Myth #5: It’ll solve all my body image problems
Fact: It’s essential to have realistic expectations about the surgery results. If you are unhappy with your body image, seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor is crucial.
Myth #6: The results are immediate
Myth #7: It’s a one-time procedure
Fact: Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body but does not prevent remaining fat cells from getting bigger. That’s why surgeons tell you to maintain a healthy lifestyle after liposuction to preserve the results.
Fact: Although liposuction is performed under anesthesia, you may experience discomfort during and after the surgery. The pain level may depend on the type and amount of liposuction performed and your pain tolerance and sensitivity. That’s why your surgeon may prescribe pain medication for your recovery.
Fact: The cost of High-Definition Liposuction varies depending on several factors, such as the surgeon’s experience and reputation, the extent of the liposuction performed, the geographic location of the surgery, plus the anesthesia and facility fees.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of liposuction in 2020 was $3,548 per area.
Note: Make sure to factor in consultation fees and the costs of preoperative tests, anesthesia, postoperative care, compression garments, and medications.
Fact: Not exactly. HD Lipo is not for everyone. Some medical conditions and medications may increase the risk of complications or affect the outcome of liposuction. These include diabetes, heart disease, blood clotting disorders, immunodeficiency disorders, smoking, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
