Season for Lipo?
There are about 285,000 liposuction procedures performed each year. Springtime is the prime season that I see an uptick in calls from patients asking about liposuction. As the temperatures finally begin to moderate in Minnesota, consultations in my office gradually switch from a focus on facial rejuvenation to body contouring procedures. Spring is also a popular time to escape from cooler climates. Perhaps it’s only a coincidence, but my patients often mention plans for vacations like cruises and island getaways. It makes sense that liposuction might offer a boost for looking good in beachwear.
Liposuction and liposculpture also continue to be very popular year-round as new techniques are always hyped in the media. However, the lipid or fat reducing method remains basically the same, but the new trendy gimmicks make great headlines. I find that refined traditional liposuction is quite effective in body sculpting surgery.
