Concerned About Your Body Shape – Liposculpture

In addition to performing liposculpture in combination with an abdominoplasty, problem areas including love-handles and inner- and outer-thighs can be treated with liposculpture alone. ‘These could be areas that troubled the patient prior to

pregnancy but they may have become more prominent postpregnancy,’ says Mr Banwell. ‘Most importantly, the area the patient wants treated needs to look in proportion with the rest of her figure.’

Mr Banwell stresses that women who undergo an abdominoplasty or liposculpture procedure need to commit to a healthy lifestyle, involving a sensible diet and exercise regime, in order to maximise and maintain the results. He adds that it his policy not to operate on a mother until her last child is at least 18 months old. ‘I usually advise patients to complete all their pregnancies before commencing surgery.

Otherwise results might not be maintained,’ says Mr Banwell. Post-pregnancy cosmetic surgery can have a very positive effect. ‘As long as the expectations of outcomes are realistic, I find the overall satisfaction rate in this group of patients is very high,’ Mr Banwell concludes.
