Why can't I lose weight?

Even with consistent diet and exercise, there are many reasons that you may not be seeing the fat loss results you want, including:

• Age
• Genetics/heredity
• Hormone imbalance
• Thyroid issue
• Underlying condition

Some of these factors can make it virtually impossible to shed weight in certain areas. For patients struggling to achieve their desired results on their own, cosmetic surgery can be a life-changing solution.

How does liposuction work?

Liposuction fat removal surgery aims to remove small to moderate pockets of stubborn fat that have become unresponsive to diet and exercise. During a liposuction procedure, which can often be performed using local anesthesia with sedation, the surgeon will make a tiny incision(s) near the area to be treated. A thin tube, or cannula, is inserted through this incision. The surgeon will then manually dislodge the fat cells and remove them using a specialized suction technology. The harvested fat can either be purified and used to augment another part of the body, such as the breasts or cheeks, or it can be discarded.

What is 360 liposuction?

One of the most popular and exciting fat removal techniques in Northern Virginia is 360 liposuction, or 360 lipo. The basic process of 360 liposuction is relatively similar to traditional liposuction, also utilizing small incisions and suction energy to remove stubborn fat cells. However, 360 lipo takes fat removal one step further by addressing a patient's front and back sides for the most dramatic and natural-looking enhancements possible. For example, a 360 liposuction patient whose primary concern is stubborn abdominal fat may also have fat removed from the hips, flanks, or love handles to achieve a more appealing overall shape and contour. If liposuction is only performed on a patient's front side, he or she may appear out of proportion, asymmetric, or unnatural.

During your initial consultation for liposuction in Northern Virginia, your knowledgeable surgeon at Austin-Weston will carefully evaluate your areas of concern and help determine whether 360 liposuction, traditional liposuction, or another body contouring procedure may be the best option for you.

Is there a noninvasive alternative to liposuction?

With the incredible advances in medicine and technology, liposuction surgery is less invasive and more convenient than ever. However, some patients may still prefer a completely nonsurgical approach to fat removal. For these men and women, SculpSure® noninvasive body contouring may be a solution. Rather than physically removing fat cells, SculpSure utilizes advanced laser lipolysis technology to cool and destroy fat cells, which are then naturally expelled by the body. If you are interested in nonsurgical fat loss solutions, the knowledgeable team at Austin-Weston can help determine whether you may be a candidate for SculpSure.
