There you are on the elliptical. You’ve broken a good sweat, your heart rate is around 130, and you feel like you are burning those calories and losing that excess fat.
Then, when you check yourself out in the mirror after your intense workout, you are still not satisfied with your look If all this exercise isn’t making a difference in your appearance, does this make you an ideal candidate for liposuction in Sydney?
A/Prof Damian Marucci, renowned cosmetic plastic reconstructive surgeon, can help you answer that question. His successful practice is built on a foundation of extraordinary ability, a thorough knowledge of cosmetic surgery, and the respect and personal care he and his staff provide to each patient.
Can liposuction make love handles on my waistline go away?
If I am overweight is liposuction an alternative to dieting?
No. Liposuction is not for treating obesity and is never used in place of any exercise program or dietary restrictions. It’s the same with cellulite. Lipo is not a magic eraser for dimpled or sagging skin areas.
Am I a good candidate for liposuction?
If you are a healthy, non-smoking adult, and are within 30 percent of your ideal weight you may be an ideal candidate for liposuction. Only an initial consultation with Dr. Marucci can help determine for certain if you qualify.
What happens at the initial consultation?
A/Prof Damian Marucci will ask about your specific concerns and what your realistic goals are for your appearance. He will take into account your past medical history, any pre-existing conditions, the current medications you are taking, as well as your alcohol and tobacco use. He will examine the areas you have concerns about to evaluate the condition of the muscle tone and skin. Photographs will be taken of those areas of your body. All of this will help Dr. Marucci and you in the process of determining if liposuction is right for you.
After the initial consultation, is the procedure next?
Dr. Marucci always meets with liposuction candidates for a second time to make sure all of their questions and concerns have been addressed. He believes that patients should not feel they are being pressured into having a procedure done. Dr. Marucci’s philosophy is that a more informed decision can be made after more than one consultation has taken place. Only then, if it is determined that liposuction is the proper course of treatment for you, will your procedure be scheduled.
What happens during the liposuction procedure?
With the patient under either local or general anaesthesia, liposuction is performed using tiny, low-profile incisions. Once the excess fat is loosened, it is removed from the body with a surgical syringe or vacuum-like device. Post-procedure, improvements to the contour of your body will become noticeable once swelling and any fluid retention disappear.
