Unfortunately, many people have inherited a tendency to develop fat deposits that spoil this perfect line. These bulges, which are most common in areas like the hips, thighs, abdomen, knees, ankles, face and neck, do not routinely respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction, however, can help sculpt and re-contour the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, eliminating bulges and establishing a pleasing line.
One of today's most commonly done cosmetic procedures in India, liposuction uses a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula, that is connected to a powerful suction device. This cannula is inserted into the area of fat through a very small incision and the fat is removed by the suction.
Liposuction may be performed on several areas at the same time or combined with other procedures. For example, it may be done in conjunction with a facelift if excess fat is present under the chin. It is also often used to treat conditions like gynecomastia, where fat is deposited n the chest wall.
The best candidates for liposuction are people of normal weight who have firm, elastic skin and localized pockets of excess fat. It is not appropriate for people who are significantly overweight, and if your skin is not reasonably elastic you may not achieve the same results as younger people with tighter skin.
Good candidates for liposuction also have reasonable expectations about the results they can expect. Good candidates also know that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity. The fat cells removed by this process are, indeed, removed permanently. However if a person eats unwisely and gains weight, fat may be deposited in other areas.
Liposuction is a trusted and safe procedure that has been performed for many years. However, as with all surgery, there are complications that can occur. These include bleeding, infection, asymmetry and as with all surgery, there is the risk of complications from anaesthesia. All of these complications are very rare. To guard against this, we regularly check the health of our patients prior to surgery.
How long a liposuction procedure takes depends on several things, including the size of the area being treated, the amount of fat being removed, the number of areas treated and the type of anaesthesia used. If the area to be treated is small, you may be given a local anaesthetic to numb the area, along with an intravenous sedative to help you feel relaxed. Some patients prefer general anaesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed, the area being treated is near the face or the liposuction is being done in combination with another procedure, for example treatment of the male breast.
After your surgery, you will likely experience some fluid drainage from the incision, as well as some bruising, swelling and discomfort. These symptoms are temporary and depend on the extent and location of the area treated. To control swelling and help your skin shrink to fit its new contours, you will be fitted with a snug elastic garment to wear over the treated area.
You will begin to notice a definite difference in the shape of your body soon after your surgery, and that improvement will become even more noticeable over the next four to six weeks as any swelling subsides. After about three months, any persistent mild swelling will usually disappear and you will be able to see your final contour.
If your expectations were realistic, you should be very pleased with the results of your surgery. Clothes of all kinds will fit more comfortably and you'll feel better about your body. Eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise will help you maintain you new, more attractive shape.
