Can
liposuction be covered under my insurance?
In most cases liposuction is considered an "elective
surgery" that most insurance companies
do not cover however in some cases when a person's
ability to function in his or her daily activities
is limited because of a certain condition they
may qualify for some insurance coverage.
How much fat can be removed by liposuction?
The earliest liposuction methods were limited
to removing about one liter (2.2 lbs) of fat
safely. Today experts believe that a liposuction
session should not exceed five liters.
Can the fat that is removed reappear elsewhere
on the body?
New fat cells do not appear. Weight is added
on when existing fat cells grow. Although liposuction
does not protect you against generalized weight
gain, the area that is suctioned should always
remain proportionately smaller.
How do I choose the right surgeon for me?
People who are interested in having liposuction
should take the time to research both the surgical
procedures and the plastic surgeon. You need
to make sure your surgeon has the proper credentials.
After having a consultation session, you should
feel like you are in good hands. He or she should
be willing to spend as much time as needed to
answer your questions to your satisfaction.
