Liposuction
Why choose liposuction surgery?
Liposuction surgery is a cosmetic procedure primarily aimed at contouring the body by removing unwanted fat deposits from specific areas that do not respond well to diet and exercise. The areas commonly treated include the abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, calves, ankles, chest, back, hips, thighs, chin, and neck. This procedure can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have tried dieting and exercising but are unable to get rid of stubborn fat in these areas. Additionally, in some cases, liposuction can be used to treat a condition known as gynecomastia, where men develop extra breast tissue.
How does liposuction surgery work?
The procedure commences with the administration of anesthesia for the patient’s comfort. This could be either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation and the specifics of the procedure. Following anesthesia, small, inconspicuous incisions are made in the targeted areas through which a thin hollow tube, known as a cannula, is inserted. The cannula is maneuvered in a controlled back-and-forth motion to loosen the excess fat, which is then suctioned out using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. There are several techniques utilized in liposuction procedures, including traditional liposuction, power-assisted liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, VASER liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction, and water-assisted liposuction, each with its unique approach to dislodging and removing fat.
What are the results like?
Following the procedure, patients can expect an improved body contour, which becomes apparent once the common post-procedure swelling and fluid retention subside. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen can help in permanently retaining the loss of excess fatty tissue achieved through liposuction. However, it’s essential to note that substantial weight gain post-surgery can alter the results. The surgery is not a weight-loss procedure but a body contouring procedure, aimed at reshaping areas of the body to achieve a desired aesthetic outcome. The skin in the treated areas usually molds itself to the new contours, and individuals with good skin tone and elasticity tend to have smoother-looking skin post-procedure. On the other hand, those with thin and less elastic skin might experience looser skin in the treated areas. Liposuction does not aid in improving dimpled skin from cellulite or removing stretch marks.
