Common Areas Treated by Liposuction at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic Photo Gallery
Abdomen
The area most commonly treated with liposuction at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, and in North America, is the abdomen, whether in the upper or lower part. This area is very difficult to tone and maintain with regular physical exercise and conditioning. Reasons for this may include the age of the patient, a previous pregnancy that also resulted in a c-section, prior obesity developing more fibrous fat, or deeply located subcutaneous fat. Liposuction treatment in the abdomen area is popular for both female and male patients.
Anterior Thighs
The front part of the thighs is another difficult part of the body to tone. The goal for most patients treated with a Toronto liposuction procedure in this area is to have results that create a smooth contour with an ideal amount of fat removal. It is recommended that this ideal amount should not exceed 60% of the existing subcutaneous fat, as skin irregularities and an undesirable or unnatural contour may result.
Outer Thighs
For women, fat settles naturally on the thighs and hips. Unfortunately, it often makes for an undesirable appearance.
When considering liposuction treatment, the outer thigh is categorized into two sections to facilitate the cosmetic procedure and produce the optimal aesthetically pleasing results: the upper posterior thigh and the buttock area.
Inner Thighs
Like the outer thighs, the inner thighs are also a concern amongst women seeking liposuction at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. Liposuction treating the inner thighs is often performed at the same time as when treating the inner knees. Following liposuction in this area, patients experience healing usually at a faster rate than in other parts of the body.
Buttocks
The area of the buttocks that generally draws the most concern is the accumulation of fat just below the horizontal crease at the upper posterior thigh below the buttock. Cosmetic surgeons at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic can remove this fat with liposuction, but it is recommended that too much fat removal is avoided.
Arms
Liposuction for the arms is generally performed in the upper part, surrounding the armpits. Commonly on women, these areas tend to develop fat pads that increase in size with age or obesity. It is rare for cosmetic surgeons to perform liposuction on males in this area.
Male Breasts/ Gynecomastia
For a firmer chest and more pronounced muscles, liposuction removes amassed fat in the breasts of men. Considered emasculating, gynecomastia can be easily treated with liposuction.
Female Breast Reduction
Although not as common but still worth mentioning, liposuction provides an option for women who wish to reduce the size of their breasts.
Face and Neck
Liposuction at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic is commonly requested to treat fat in the lower part of the face, around the chin, cheeks and jowls. This results in a smoother facial contour that is more youthful and toned.
Legs and Ankles
Fat on the legs and ankles is generally superficial, making it relatively easy to remove with liposuction. However, one area that should not be treated with liposuction due to the presence of vital nerves and blood vessels is the area behind the knee.
