DR. AMRON’S PHILOSOPHY ON LIPOSUCTION
As liposuction is the only major cosmetic surgery Dr. Amron performs, his approach to evaluating every potential candidate is taken very seriously. It is important to note that not everybody is a good candidate for liposuction. It is not about being fat or overweight. Simply put as Dr. Amron says, “Liposuction is all about balancing a person’s proportions and removing genetically disproportionate areas of fat storage. It is a technique to reduce areas of fatty tissue that cannot be reduced by diet and exercise.”
A good candidate for liposuction is someone who is disproportionate, but not necessarily overweight. For example, a patient who is thin may be an excellent candidate if he/she is disproportionate. If an individual diets, exercises, and has stubborn areas that do not go away – say the love handles, the thighs or abdomen area - it is likely that they have excess fatty tissue in these areas that can only be removed with liposuction. Some of the best candidates for liposuction can be thin but disproportionate; many times this is due to genetics.
Dr. Amron feels it is inappropriate to perform surgery on a person who is simply overweight but has a proportionate body shape. This is a mistake made by many surgeons and does the patient a disservice because it can permanently throw them out of proportion and the fat can disproportionately store in other areas. It is recommended that an overweight proportionate person should loose weight and exercise.
However, for many people seeking liposuction, it is because they have a combination of being a little overweight and disproportionate in certain areas. Dr. Amron feels it is not always necessary to lose the extra weight first. However, when he performs liposuction on this type of patient, he feels it is imperative to critically determine where they are out of proportion. He then only targets those areas, so as to balance their proportion. It is then up to the patient to diet and exercise to lose the extra weight. Many times the rapid results from the liposuction of the stubborn disproportionate areas are the motivational factor for the patient to eliminate the rest of the weight.
Based on extensive research and hands-on experience, Dr. Amron strongly feels that it is essential that the patient is conscious during liposuction to achieve optimal results. When the patient is conscious precise positioning can be done, which is only possible under local anesthesia. It is important to remember that Liposuction is a procedure that sculpts the body. Dr. Amron feels it is much more difficult, if not impossible, to meticulously sculpt an area without the patient being able to assume exact positions during the procedure. With liposuction, patient positioning is crucial to achieving an outstanding result.
Dr Amron’s technique is to start in the deep fat and gradually tunnel to the surface using progressively smaller and flatter cannulas. He also prefers to “crisscross” his passes with the cannula, creating a precise network of tunnels in the fat ensuring a smooth natural looking result. These techniques are essential because, if the angle of entry of the liposuction cannula is not always kept parallel to the skin surface irregularities and dimples may result.
