Today high fashionable profile is everything. First impressions are imperative and we are all looking for way to help us appear fit, trim and healthy in our must flaunt clothes! So I decided to do a little investigating of this liposuction procedure to get just a few facts and I enjoy sharing health, beauty & of course fashion tips with you.
First let me say that, I believe in womanly curves bones just aren't working for me & I believe in a positive attitude about your own body as it is! Attitude, the right clothes, and a savvy touch for unique finds are a plus "Looking good and feeling good are # 1 priority & never over-rated!" That's when I asked myself what else can I do about my body? Obviously a healthy food ranks at the top of this look-good feel-good list. Exercise, most of us could use a little more of this but lets be honest it's not an instant fix-Now is it? And clothes and makeup can cover up only so much.
That's when Liposuction became an interest. I decided to investigate before investing my most precious asset my body! First step ask my doctor to refer me to a good cosmetic surgeon (For sister of color keep in mind that you should always hunt around for a plastic surgeon familiar with Nubian skin care, since the melanin which creates so many beautiful golden brown hues also requires special attention) For all my Fashionlistas out there please make sure that your surgeon is board certified in your state, you don't want some quake working on your precious assets who hasn't a clue as to what they're doing. The American Society for Dermatology Surgery is a good resource to call upon for inquiries after a good cosmetic surgeon (let me add that she/he should also he experienced in Liposuction surgery specifically and hooking up with a few past clients to see how their surgery turned out is always smart.)
The obvious positive side to Liposuction is you get rid of that excess unattractive tummy and you viciously attack those problem areas that no amount of exercise seems to eliminate. That old clique` "When you look good you feel better" Still rings true! Unfortunately the are always two sides of the coin and I want to always be aware of the negative associated with anything before I venture forth, so here are some of the downside to Liposuction. Common sense tells us that if you are not healthy to begin with then an unnecessary elective surgery should be put off until you health does improve. As with any surgery there is the risks of post-surgical complications such as infection, swelling, blood clots etc. Always provide a complete medical history of any preexisting conditions you have such as: Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Anemia these can all affect the way you heal after surgery. Keep in mind like any other surgery there will be a recovery time with some aches and pains this is normal but if pain or bleeding persist contact your surgeon stat! Sometimes your shape might not appear even after your procedure. There may be excess skin or lumps that may require more surgery to repair.
I don't appreciate the fact (and I'm sure many of you don't either) that most Insurance Companies will not pay for Liposuction. This is because Lipo-surgery is classified as an elective surgery, (which means it is unnecessary surgery according to most health plan provider, You will have to foot the bill alone. Which when all is said and done can easily cost you $5000 or more depending on what you have done!. So deep pockets are required.
When all is said and done it balls down to common sense! Know how long your surgeon has been performing Liposuction, how surgeries she/he does per year, What sort of complications has the doctor has in the past, Always ask to see before-and-after pictures of past clients, Be proactive educate yourself to all the risk and benefits. Never allow any surgeon to pressure you. You must think for yourself!
In the end a positive liposuction has positive benefits and is a self-esteem booster! And often it's is less expensive than a tummy tuck.
We all want to look good in our clothes and Liposuction is an option to be considered. To each Fashionista her own! Dish with you later.
