form of plastic surgery. Liposuction is considered
most popular procedure in
United States for several years running. But liposuction is quite new to
US.
Liposuction was invented in Italy by two gynecologists, Dr. Gorgio Fischer and his son Dr. Gorgio Fischer, Jr. in 1974. Through small incisions, they were able to cut away fat tissues within
body. A rotating scalpel and suctions aided
procedure. Though not as comparable to today's techniques, Drs. Fischer still deserve
credit for liposuction.
Also known as lipoplasty and lipectomy, liposuction removes isolated pockets of fat from
body of those who are of relatively normal weight. These fat pockets or cellulites could either result from overeating alone or as an inherited trait that can't be removed by dieting or exercise.
The liposuction market comes from actors frantic with weight loss failure or simply just anyone who can afford a cellulite-free life. Anyone interested with liposuction should be informed that liposuction, as a surgical procedure, is not risk free. Before going gaga over losing those pesky flabs, better consider
following risks and complications that range from mild to potentially life-threatening.
