Liposuction surgery is the most artistic cosmetic surgical procedure. When you have tried all different diet plans and vigorous exercise but nothing works on those stubborn areas of fat. Liposuction is the perfect solution to contour the body into the required shape.
This new, highly advanced procedure is often sought by patients to reduce areas that are prone to storing excess fat and that have been resistant to exercise and good nutrition. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed under local anesthesia and removes substantial amounts of fat from many different areas of the body. The procedure is often combined with other cosmetic surgeries like facelift, abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery and breast reduction.
The liposuction procedure in India is very safe and India has an impressive record by world standards. Indian plastic surgeons perform over 1, 17,000 liposuction procedures each year. Minimal invasive nature and significantly less scarring make liposuction popular choice by many.
Surgeons use specialized techniques such as superficial undermining, laser technique to produce smooth curves, even results and maximize fat removal. The quality of results reflect very much the skill and vision of the surgeon, so patients are advised to choose their surgeon carefully, looking for not only training and experience but artistic vision as well.

1. Introduction: What is Liposuction? When do you consider this treatment?
Liposuction is a type of body contouring procedure that surgically removes unwanted stubborn fat in almost any part of the body. It can be used to slim hips and thighs, flatten stomachs, eliminate double chins and even shape calves and ankles.
When should you consider this treatment?
With a healthy diet and exercise, you can burn fat stores for energy, revealing the new muscles that build up underneath. But you cannot control which fat stores your body burns. That’s why some people have great-looking abs, but retain fat around their thighs. This fat deposit on areas like hips, belly, thighs, neck, chin, arms or chest does not respond easily to diet or exercise.
Liposuction is an extremely successful procedure on account of the combination of simple surgery and great results it offers. If you look in your mirror and all you can see is bulges where you don’t want them, then liposuction may help change your body shape.
2. What are the different types of Liposuction techniques?
There is a range of modified modern liposuction methods to remove fat cells, including:
Tumescent Liposuction:
The tumescent technique involves the injection of a tumescent local anesthesia formulation prior to suction. Tiny incisions that normally won’t require stitches allow fine hollow sterile cannulas to suction the fat out. It is a safe and effective method of fat removal from a team of highly skilled medical staff.
Wet Technique:
Wet liposuction is typically performed under local anesthetic and uses a combination of epinephrine, lidocaine and saline solution for a safer and more comfortable procedure.
Super-Wet Technique:
This technique involves injecting the amount of fluid equal to the amount of fat to be removed in the target area. The entire process takes less time however it usually requires sedation with general anesthesia.
Power-Assisted Liposuction:
The procedure involves the use of a power cannula to finely and delicately move through the fat that is being aspirated.
Laser-Assisted Lipolysis:
The laser light is known for expediting the fat dissolution. In this method, laser light is used to heat and melt fat and contract collagen fibers. The result is tighter skin and a smoother result.
Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction:
It involves exposing fat cells to ultrasonic vibrations for melting fats by breaking the cell’s walls, thereby facilitating fat removal. This technique may be useful in the removal of fat from dense or fibrous areas such as the back.
3. How long does a Liposuction procedure take? Is it safe for all ages?
The duration of the procedure depends on type of liposuction techniques and the size of the treated area. Usually, it takes 30 minutes to 4 hours. You will be able to get back at work within a few days following your surgery. Although most of the bruising and swelling usually disappears within three weeks, some swelling may remain for six months or more.
Liposuction is a procedure that involves the removal of fat, just beneath the skin, and around internal organs. Complications are very uncommon and the risks that are associated with the procedure are low. Overall liposuction surgery is completely safe when performed by a well-trained, experienced physician.
Is there an age limit for liposuction?
There is no age limit for performing liposuction. The only condition is that you must be relatively healthy and without any serious medical conditions. Your doctor will examine you to determine the strength of your skin and how much fat should be removed.
4. Which body areas are commonly targeted for Liposuction?
The most common areas to get liposuction are the abdomen, arms and legs, breasts, buttocks, and around your chin.
Abdomen: It is one of the most performed liposuction procedures that address common stomach complaints like ‘love handles’. This procedure offers smoother, firmer, flatter stomach area and even improved core strength.
Thighs: Liposuction can treat various parts of the leg area including the inner, upper and outer zones of the leg. Inner thighs can be treated to achieve a ‘thigh gap’ and outer thighs to reduce saddlebags.
Back: Liposuction for lower or upper back lift is performed to produce a slimmer, more defined contour to the back.
The neckline and the area under the chin: Liposuction is suitable for individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of a drooping neck. Liposuction can remove small fat deposits or address a receding chin and help refine the lower jaw. The result is a long slender neckline and enhanced jawline.
Buttocks: Liposuction for buttocks is performed to attain more muscular and or shapely posterior. Excess fat from butt area is removed to give a more rounded appearance.
Chest: Liposuction for both men and women involves breast reduction. This results in a firmer and more sculpted chest. The procedure often reshapes the breasts. However, for women, the procedure cannot correct severely drooping breasts, which may require a Breast Augmentation and Lift to appear fuller and lifted.
Knees and ankles: Liposuction can be used to address concerns such as a lack of definition between the ankle and calf commonly called ‘cankles,’ or fat knees. Treatment results in more slender and proportionate legs.
Hips: Fat deposits on the outer side of the hips, known as saddlebags, can be removed and the area contoured to smooth your silhouette into a more proportionate or slender shape.
5. Do’s and Don’ts after Liposuction Surgery?
It’s important to remember the aftercare is just as important as the liposuction in getting those good results and avoiding complications.
Do follow the course of the antibiotics and post-op instructions to prevent infection.
During the recovery, patients will be required to wear a special compression garment to reduce swelling. Tight clothing should be avoided especially so for the tummy, hips and inner thighs.
You can return to non strenuous work within 2 days however strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least a couple of weeks. If discomfort is experienced with any activity it should be discontinued.
Results from a liposuction procedure are long-term but can be affected if the patient does not maintain a healthy weight or lifestyle. To ensure the effectiveness of your procedure, maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight. Also regular exercise can reduce post-surgery side effects.
Maintaining results after liposuction requires adopting certain lifestyle modifications. Fill your diet with nutrients; incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein into your diet. A proper and balanced diet will prevent a lot of the weight gain that occurs with unhealthy eating habits.
6. How much does Liposuction treatment cost? What to consider while evaluating for the best Liposuction surgeon?
The cost of liposuction will vary depending on your size and the areas of the body you choose to have liposuction. Some people who have very large areas, or many different areas, may need to be done in more than one operating session.
