Some body parts may be small, but when they are highly visible, small surgical changes with lipo can be surprisingly noticable. And chins, armpits and ankles are fantastic examples…
“Why didn’t I have this done years ago?!”
“Why didn’t I have this done years ago?” is a common refrain we hear. . Not only can liposuction be performed on areas such as abdomen, thighs or bottoms, but also on small areas of the body such as chins, knees, and ankles.
There are parts of our body that are highly visible, or highly personal, and this is where small cosmetic changes can make a big difference to your appearance. Obviously, it’s normal, and healthy to ask yourself if it’s worth the bother. If it’s only a small amount here or there, what’s the problem? But if the error does cause an issue for you, – liposuction may well be worth investigating.
Chin, neck & jawline
Chins and necks are perfect example of how tiny changes can make a big difference. Chins can appear a lot more defined once the soft, fatty tissue is removed.
Mons pubis
The Mons Pubis, also known as the Mons Venus or Mons Veneris is that small bit of fat tissue that sits on top of their pubic bone (and below the panty line). The amount of fat tissue in this area varies between individuals. Often, the amount of fat here is hormonally related: upon entering puberty, oestrogen levels change – fat tissue is deposited, and pubic hair grows. Some women have expressed concern about this fat protuberance as it may rub against clothing, become sweaty underneathe the mons or bulge when wearing tight clothes. In extreme cases, the bulge may be so large that a woman may suffer bacterial or fungal infections. Liposuction can remedy this concern.
Ankles
Thisarea can be changed through tumescent liposuction, using a cannula. Only a liposuction doctor should perform this procedure, though, as there are many nerves and blood vessels vulnerable to injury around this area.
Male chest (or gynaecomastia)
Some men develop unwanted fatt tissue around their breast area, over their pectoral muscles. This is known as gynaecomastia, and could be through lack of exercise, or through hormonal changes. Liposuction can remove this fat tissue. Occasionally, though, some men have a build-up of actual breast tissue (Glandular) and not fat which must be removed through plastic surgery, not liposuction.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
