Liposuction procedures have been the norm among most celebrities worldwide whereby excess fats in the body are removed from a specific area such as the stomach, thighs buttocks, and arms.
The procedure involves inserting a thin tube called a canulla under the skin to suction out the fat using a vacuum.
Examples of notable people who have undergone the procedure are:
Risper Faith
Kim Kardashian
Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson
NeNe Leakes
Murugi Munyi
Only to mention a few.
Now let's see some of its effects both positive and negative:
Positive Effects
1. Body Contouring: Helps in achieving a more defined and proportionate body shape.
2. Targeted Fat Removal: Effective for removing stubborn fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise.
3. Boost in Confidence: Can improve self-esteem and body image.
Risks and Side Effects:
1. Bruising and Swelling: Common immediately after the procedure.
2. Infection: As with any surgery, there is a risk of infection.
3. Scarring: Small scars may form at the incision sites.
4. Numbness: Temporary or permanent numbness in the treated areas.
5. Contour Irregularities: The skin may appear bumpy or wavy due to uneven fat removal or poor skin elasticity.
6. Fluid Accumulation: Temporary pockets of fluid can form under the skin.
7. Complications from Anesthesia: General or local anesthesia used during the procedure carries its risks.
8. Blood Clots: Rare but serious complication.
