Waist Liposuction: What Is It and What Are the Best San Diego Alternatives?

Muffin tops, love handles, and fat pockets – no matter how you seem to address them, it's as if they're an impossible mission to fight. Women's waist and hip area are some of the hardest parts of the body to slim by your efforts.

Women's hormones drive fat to store in their waist and hips instead of men, who tend to have fat from around their stomachs. Women naturally have more body fat than men, and during growth spurts, the fat increase rate doubles compared to men.

Body fat is a life necessity, but you don't need an excessive amount to live. And while you can do hours of cardio, your waist and hips may not change as much you'd like. Women are predisposed to storing extra fat around the waist and hips, whether it's because of hormones, pregnancy, age, or slow metabolism.

How The Procedure Works

Liposuction is a procedure that's quite useful for the waist and hips, given that it's one of the best areas to show dramatic results. An hourglass figure can be considered a symbol of femininity, which this fat removal process con provides.

The process uses a local anesthetic or general anesthesia, depending on the method and how much fat needs to be extracted. The surgeon then places incisions around the midsection to insert the cannula to remove fat from the body.

It's the surgeon's job to ensure that the fact extracted from the body still allows you to maintain a proportional figure.

Women report that they've gone down a dress and pants size and that overall their clothes fit much better than before. 

Waist Liposuction Recovery

After liposuction has been performed on your waist and hips, you'll be given a compression garment to reduce any swelling, to be worn for two weeks.

Generally, after the first week, you're able to return to work and do low-impact activities. Strenuous activities and exercise can be resumed after the first month. Nevertheless, these timeframes differ between patients based on how their body responds to surgery.

Results from waist liposuction aren't immediately noticeable. You'll be able to see them complete after about six months once all the swelling subdues.
