What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring

Even with proper diet and exercise, fat deposits can still form on the body, making it disproportional or unhealthy-looking. Liposuction removes these deposits of fat from beneath the skin, restoring a healthier appearance and bringing the body back into balance. Liposuction can be performed virtually anywhere on the body, but some of the most common treatment areas include:

• 1) Chin
• 2) Neck
• 3) Back
• 4) Abdomen
• 5) Flanks
• 6) Inner/Outer Thighs
• 7) Buttocks
• 8) Knees
• 9) Upper Arms

The science of liposuction, combined with the art of body sculpting, is a safe and effective method of eradicating stubborn fat deposits in body areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Using suction from a tiny tube called a micro cannula, the plastic surgeon removes fat deposits from targeted body areas, to sculpt and balance out the contour of the patient's body.

Who Can Benefit From Liposuction?

The following types of individuals may want to consider liposuction:

1. Individuals who have disproportionate deposits of fat which are resistant to diet and exercise alone.
2. Individuals who are within the normal weight range but still have stubborn bulges that affect their overall proportion.
3. Individuals who are slightly obese but have difficulty losing inches by normal weight loss programs.
4. Individuals who have gained excessively, possibly through pregnancy, and have lost weight but still have some bulges, skin laxity, and/or stretch marks.
5. Indian females with a little bulging belly who cannot wear Salwar Kameez or western outfits.

Liposuction is not meant to replace a proper diet and a good exercise programmes nor is it meant to be a vehicle for weight loss. Although a person will usually lose some weight and many times, it will provide an incentive to lose more; it is really a tool used for reshaping or sculpting the body and face. Many times, a person will lose as much as two to eight inches in the waist area alone and will look much thinner but will not lose a significant amount of weight.

After liposuction

After a liposuction procedure, you should get some rest and avoid strenuous activity. A compression garment is provided to minimize swelling, expedite the recovery process, and ensure a smooth result. In some cases, elevating the treated area is recommended. Swelling and bruising is typical for the first 2-3 days after liposuction, but it should be resolved within the first week. Most patients return to their normal routine after about ten days.

The Fat suctioned out by Liposuction can be used for Fat Grafting on face and for Vaginal Rejuvenation procedures.
