What is liposuction?

Many people even after exercising and doing regular diets are not able to achieve an ideal body weight. They suffer from stubborn body fat and with liposuction surgery one can get rid of those fat pockets.

Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure in which excess body fat is removed using a cannula, a special device that helps eliminate stubborn fat from specific body areas and helps contour the body shape. The procedure is safe if performed by an expert and has helped many people achieve their dream body shape.

Besides, liposuction surgery also offers health benefits and can reduce enlarged breasts in males and females to improve their body posture and alleviate back and neck pain while improving their body proportions and overall appearance.

Different types of liposuction surgery

There are various techniques for performing liposuction, including:

Traditional tumescent liposuction- A saline solution mixed with a numbing agent, lidocaine, and a blood vessel constrictor, epinephrine is administered directly into the subcutaneous fat of the area which has to be lipo-suctioned for easier fat removal. Once done, the surgeon makes a small cut to insert the cannula and uses hands to move the cannula back and forth, thereby allowing the melting of fat. Lastly, the surgeon finally gets rid of the dislodged, unwanted fat cells using vacuum suction fitted at one end of the cannula.
Dry liposuction- It is the same as tumescent liposuction with only the difference of no injecting of fluid into the subcutaneous fat.
Ultrasound-assisted (ultrasonic) liposuction- The fat removal with suction is made easier by using ultrasonic energy for emulsifying or liquifying the fat. It is preferred for male breast reduction or fibrous areas that need fat removal.
Power-assisted liposuction- This involves rapid movement of the cannula back and forth using a power supply.
Laser-assisted liposuction- It involves fat liquefication using the heat energy of the laser and then draining or suctioning out of the melted fat through the cannula. It is preferred in tight, small areas like the chin and jowls.
VASER liposuction- This involves injecting tumescent fluid into the fat, making of incision for insertion of an ultrasound probe, and then using ultrasound technology for a considerable quantity of fat removal. It results in the appearance of finely defined muscles in the treated areas like the back, abdomen, legs, and arms.

2. Preoperative evaluation and preparation- Some blood tests are ordered to confirm the patient’s readiness for the surgery and even pre-surgery instructions are provided to follow and make sure the surgery goes smoothly, as expected.

3. The Liposuction surgery- The surgeon numbs the targeted area and then performs an appropriate type of liposuction surgery.

The patient should avoid vigorous physical activities, lead a healthy lifestyle, and practice proper wound care.

FAQs About Liposuction in India

Is liposuction painful?

A liposuction surgery is performed under anesthesia so that the patient is comfortable during surgery. However, post-surgical pain and discomfort are felt for a couple of days, which is manageable with painkillers and compression garments.

What risks are associated with liposuction?

Some potential risks posed by a liposuction surgery include withered or wavy skin of the operated area (in case the skin was lax), mild or temporary numbness of the skin, infection at the incision site, bleeding, anesthesia-related reactions, and uneven fat removal.

Does liposuction surgery leave visible scars?

A small incision of 3-4 mm is made during liposuction to put in a cannula and remove unwanted fat. Thus, the incision scar is small. If there are multiple incision sites, multiple scars may be created and the scar's appearance depends on the patient's skin quality. The surgeon makes hidden incisions and even suggests ways to reduce scar appearance post-surgery.

Can liposuction surgery help me quickly reduce my weight?

Liposuction surgery cannot aid in weight loss of overweight or obese people. It can only aid in the removal of stubborn fat deposits from certain body areas, thereby contouring the areas without making a significant difference in the body weight. The surgery is performed for a person with stable, healthy body weight.

How many body areas can be simultaneously operated for liposuction?

If fat is in excess in multiple body areas, 2-3 areas can be simultaneously operated with liposuction.

Are the results of liposuction permanent?

Liposuction surgery typically takes 1-3 hours. It depends on factors like the area(s) being treated, the extent of fat removal, anesthesia type, the type of liposuction, and the surgeon’s experience.
