You have a healthy lifestyle. You have been eating properly and exercising regularly, but the efforts have not been rewarded with the expected results. The fat just doesn’t seem to go away.

Well, don’t worry, you are not alone. It’s time to consider getting liposuction.

What is Liposuction?

How It Works, Types, Safety, Side Effect & Benefits:

Liposuction is an aesthetic procedure that removes the excess fat that can’t be removed through diet and exercise.

According to the statistics from the International Study of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)around72,000 peopleunderwent liposuction surgery in India in 2017, which makes liposuction the most popular surgery in India.

And it’s no surprise that the surgery is popular, after all, no one likes excess fat.

On Which Areas Liposuction Can be done?

  • Inner or outer thighs
  • Arms – Upper
  • Hips & Buttocks
  • Double Chin
  • Love handles
  • Abdomen and waist
  • Calves and Ankles
  • Neck
  • Chest and Back

Liposuction can be performed alone and also can be done along with other plastic surgery procedures. Though according to a study, it was found that 85% of the patients were comfortable in combining liposuction procedure with abdominoplastyto achieve better results.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for this surgery?

You are an ideal candidate for liposuction if you:

  • Have firm, elastic skin, and good muscle tone.
  • Are 30% of your ideal weight.
  • Do not have a medical condition or serious illness.
  • Do not consume a significant amount of alcohol.
  • Are a non-smoker.

The criteria mentioned above can help you give an idea of whether you are an ideal candidate for liposuction surgery or not.

How Does Liposuction Work?

These are some of the areas, which can be treated with liposuction.

Step 1 – Anesthesia

Usually, the doctor will give local anesthesia during the procedure. But a regional or general anesthesia will be given when a larger amount of fat needs to be removed.

Step 2 – Incision

A tiny incision will be given near the area, where the fat should be removed. And a tube or cannula will be inserted through the incision to suction out the fat deposits from the surrounding areas.

The cannula pushes through the fat layer, breaking up the fat and making it easier to suction out.

Here is a short video that explains how liposuction works:

Recovery After Liposuction Surgery

The doctor advises the patient to wear a compression garment which helps to control the swelling and compress the skin to your new body contours.

Ask your surgeon about what your recovery will be like, including:

  • What medication will be given to me after the surgery?
  • How long do I have to take wear the compression garments?
  • When can I resume normal activities?
  • When do I have to return for follow-up care?
  • Will I have stitches? If yes, when will they be removed?

It might take a few weeks for the swelling to reduce. As the swelling reduces, your new contours should continue to develop.

Results After Liposuction Surgery

The result of liposuction is permanent because the fat cells will be completely removed from your body parts. The new improved body contour will be apparent when the swelling subsides.

Although good results can be achieved through liposuction, there is no guarantee. Sometimes the patient might not be able to achieve the optimal results with a single procedure, in which case the plastic surgeon may recommend another surgery for desired results.

Liposuction Surgery Cost in India

The most important factor when considering fat reduction is the cost of the procedure. The patients are often tempted to look for cheaper alternatives, but without proper research, the cheaper alternative can leave you with poor results or affect your body. We advise you to not take chances by going for cheaper alternatives.

The cost of liposuction surgery in India starts from ₹45,000 per area. The cost can vary depending on how much fat should be removed from the area.

Fat reduction surgery should be a personal decision and should be done for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desire. Though the procedure will not change your life, it may give you greater self-confidence.
