A large number of people and physicians such as Dr. John A. Kotis prefer the traditional form of tumescent liposuction versus newer technology that may or may not have the same results such as Vaser, Water, Smart or Tickle liposuction.\u00a0 Despite that, liposuction is one of the most popular kinds of surgeries in Chicago and the US. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 0.3 million people had a liposuction in the year 2012.<\/p>\n<h2>Reasons to Go for Liposuction<\/h2>\n<p>For people who are undecided, here are a few advantages of undergoing the traditional procedure.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get Rid of the Troubled Spots<\/h3>\n<p>There is a common misconception that liposuction is designed to be a weight loss procedure. In reality, that is not the case. Liposuction is simply an unparalleled treatment for specific areas of the body to bring them back in shape. This procedure is typically targeted toward your buttocks, upper arms, thighs and stomach etc.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Decrease in the Production of Fat<\/h3>\n<p>Liposuction procedures work to remove not just the excess fat, but the fat cells as well. This means that there is very little chance of fat returning in the same area once the procedure has been performed. Having said that, it should be clear that no treatment is magic and a healthy lifestyle will have to be maintained.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Increase Your Self Confidence<\/h3>\n<p>It is easy to gain weight and harder to lose it. Even once you have undergone intense weight loss regimes, some of the fat may continue to linger. This can act as a killer for your mood and motivation. However, with liposuction, you can get immediate results, making you feel attractive and healthy.<\/p>\n<h2>Risks of Liposuction<\/h2>\n<p>Liposuction is usually safe as long as you are being treated by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. John A. Kotis. However, when you get more than one area treated, you are increasing the chances of risks and complications post the procedure. Here is a low down on some of the risks associated with liposuction.<\/p>\n<p>The common side effects include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Minor scaring around the portal sites.<\/li>\n<li>Swelling after the procedure.<\/li>\n<li>Bruising, numbness, and soreness around the treated areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A few complications of the liposuction procedure include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every surgical procedure has a chance of an infection occurring. Hence, Dr. John A. Kotis will typically have to take antibiotics to prevent this from happening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Making the Final Decision<\/h2>\n<p>Liposuction cannot be used as a substitute for a balanced healthy diet or exercise. Liposuction is best for people who are healthy and are struggling from stubborn fat deposits that refuse to go away. There are other body contouring procedures available, such as <a href=\"\/medspa\/coolsculpting\/\">CoolSculpting<\/a>, that are non-surgical and may help you achieve similar results. It is important to speak to Dr. Kotis about your goals and problem areas and allow him to guide you to the right decision.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a great surgeon in Chicago, contact Board Certified Plastic Surgeon <a href=\"\/about\/meet-dr-kotis\/\"><u>Dr. John A.
