Liposuction
1. Purpose And Suitability For Liposuction
Liposuction, commonly referred to as "lipo," is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to break up and remove excess fat from the body. Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment and should not be seen as a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise. It is most suitable for individuals who are generally within their ideal weight range but want to remove localized pockets of fat that are resistant to traditional weight loss methods. The primary goal of liposuction is to improve body shape and contour by eliminating undesirable fat deposits in specific areas.
Doctors often use liposuction in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as Body Lifting, Arm Lifting and Thigh Lifting to achieve the desired body shape and contour. It enhances the results that other cosmetic procedures may not achieve, making it a valuable tool in comprehensive body sculpting plans.
2. How Is Liposuction Performed?
During Liposuction, the surgeon makes small incisions in the skin and inserts a tube-shaped device called a cannula into the treatment area. The cannula is then used to break up and remove fat deposits using a suction device.
3. Is Liposuction Performed Under General or Local Anesthesia?
Liposuction procedures can vary in complexity, and the type of anesthesia used will depend on the extent of the surgery. Local anesthesia is suitable for minor liposuction procedures, while general anesthesia is used for procedures involving the removal of larger amounts of fat.
4. Where Can Liposuction Be Done?
Liposuction can be used to remove fat from various parts of the body, including Abdomen, Waist, Thighs, Calves, Hips, Buttocks, Arms, Chin, Back, and Chest.
5. How Long is the Recovery After Liposuction?
Recovery time varies from person to person. Most individuals can resume their daily activities within a week after the procedure. However, swelling and discomfort may persist for a longer period, and patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least a month.
