Presently in the United States, liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery. It also has one of the highest revision rates approaching 25% in some studies. It is much more difficult than most patients and even many surgeons realize to consistently get a beautiful result with this procedure. However, due to his expertise, Dr. Amron’s rate for “touch-ups” is far less than 1%.
Dr. Amron developed the Top Five Liposuction Mistakes to address many of the issues surrounding this popular procedure:
Top Five Liposuction Mistakes
1. Liposuction causes dimples and irregularities – This is caused by suctioning to close to the skin or too aggressively.
2. The patient becomes disproportionate – Often too much fat is taken from one or two areas and the doctor does not pay attention to balance when liposuctioning the body.
3. Loose skin – The skin on different parts of the body also behaves differently and needs to be approached on an individual basis. If the skin tone is not goot in one are, the experience of your doctor will be crucial.
4. Fat returns – In some cases this is due to not enough fat removed being removed from the correct areas, it is about making sure the body is in proportion.
5. Incisions improperly positioned or are too large – The key to successful liposuction is to place the incisions in areas that will be less noticeable.
