Dispelling the Myths of Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that has been around for many years, but there are still several common myths that exist about the surgery. If you are considering liposuction to sculpt your body, it is important to sort the facts from the rumors. Here are some of the most popular liposuction myths debunked:

• Myth: Liposuction is a weight loss procedure
• Fact:  Because liposuction is designed to eliminate problem areas of fat, it is often confused for a weight loss solution. However, liposuction is only appropriate for shedding those last few pounds and providing sculpted tone to areas like the back, stomach, arms, and thighs. Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are within range of their ideal weight.
• Myth: The results of liposuction are not permanent
• Fact: If you do not carry on a healthy diet and exercise routine after getting liposuction, you will probably see weight gain. Alternatively, liposuction can kick-start a healthy lifestyle in which you will continue to notice improvements in your figure. In fact, the most satisfied patients who undergo liposuction are those who use the procedure as motivation to exercise more frequently and make wise dietary decisions.
• Myth: Liposuction may reduce fat in one area, but cause it to build up in another
• Fact: During the liposuction procedure, fat cells are broken up and removed from the body, which means that patients who do gain weight may see it accumulate in other areas where fat cells have not been destroyed. You can avoid this problem by committing to stay fit after you recover from surgery.

Important Differences Between Breast Reconstruction and Breast Enlargement

A woman’s breasts are a symbol of her femininity, which is why a large number of women choose to have them surgically enhanced through breast augmentation. This procedure can be a helpful solution to boost a woman’s self-confidence if she does not have proportionate breasts, is lacking volume due to age, or has unevenly sized breasts. Women who have undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer treatment may also consider surgery to replenish their womanly curves; this type of surgery is called breast reconstruction. Keep reading to learn important differences between breast reconstruction and breast enlargement:

Breast Enhancement

Breast augmentation can be personalized for a variety of needs through various incisions, placements, and implant materials. Many women choose to get this procedure early in life, which allows for easily concealed scars and fast healing because the body is able to recover quickly. Depending on the patient’s preference and the type of implant, the implants may be inserted through an incision around the areola, under the crease of the breast, or in the underarm.

Breast Reconstruction

This surgery is often chosen by women who have lost one or both breasts to mastectomy. Apart from the normal considerations of elective surgery, patients do have to face challenges unique to their medical situation. However, there are many benefits to surgery, such as eliminating the need for external prostheses, restoring balance between both breasts, and improving your self-image. Breast reconstruction uses the mastectomy scar as a point of incision, and the doctor must work to create an aesthetically pleasing result using the healthy skin remaining over the breast. If you only require reconstructive surgery for one breast, the primary focus will be to match the size and shape of the other breast.

More Body Procedures by New Leaf Plastic Surgery

New Leaf Plastic Surgery recognizes that over time our bodies change. We offer several services to help reshape your for a more positive image. Take a look at some of the body procedures we offer to our patients.

Arm Lift
One of the most noticeable areas of the body affected by weight loss or aging is the skin on our upper arms. During and arm lift procedure, excess skin and tissue is removed and the arm is contoured to create a more pleasing shape. If you are self conscious about your flabby, saggy upper arms, New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery can help give you the confidence to wear the tank tops, sleeveless dresses and bathing suits you’ve been wanting to. 

Thigh Lift
If you ask women what part of their body they’d most like to change, chances are you’ll get the same answer from the majority of them – my thighs. Dreaded cellulite, dimples and loose skin keep us from feeling comfortable in shorts and bathing suits. For some, it’s not just a matter of appearance. Excess skin on inner thighs rub together causing skin irritation and even sores. This is why many people choose to have plastic surgery to correct what diet and exercise aren’t able to. New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers thigh lift surgery to people wanting smoother, firmer thighs. Excess skin, and some fat, is removed and the remaining skin is lifted and tightened, giving patients a better profile. S

Skin Grafting 
New Leaf Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery performs skin grafting procedures to treat patients who have extensive wounds, trauma, burns, or areas of damaged skin. The process of skin grafting involves removing a layer or partial layer of skin from a healthy part of the patient’s body and applying it to the damaged area. With time, this new layer of skin will heal over and protect the affected area.
