Understanding Weight Loss Treatments

Shape your body by removing excess fat from specific areas like arms, neck, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs. India is the best destination. Indian plastic surgeons perform more than one lakh liposuction surgeries a year.

Liposuction is a procedure in which the stubborn fatty deposits that do not reduce with diet and exercise are removed. It is also known as lipoplasty or body contouring procedure. It is not a weight loss method. In this excess fat is removed from specific areas like arms, neck, abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs. This procedure also gives shape to these areas.

When you gain weight the fat cells increase in size. In liposuction the number of fat cells in the area is reduced. The specific area of the body and the volume of fat present are deciding factors for amount of fat that can be removed. If you have undergone liposuction treatment and you maintain your weight then the changes brought about by the procedure remain permanent.

During this procedure a very thin tube called cannula is inserted under the skin and the fat below the skin is sucked out using high-pressure vacuum. The fat may be converted to liquid form using devices like ultrasound and laser. The outcome of liposuction is more sure and constant than the non-invasive cosmetic treatments.

People having stable body weight but excess fat in specific area of body can undergo liposuction. The procedure is used to remove excess fat that has not reduced by diet and exercise.

Liposuction Treatment Procedures

Before planning the treatment it is important to talk to the surgeon about the medications, herbs or supplements you are taking. NSAIDs, blood thinners will be discontinued three weeks before the surgery. Certain laboratory tests will be prescribed.

For liposuction of small area the procedure may be carried out in office setting. If the amount of fat to be removed is more and if other procedures are planned at the same time then it is carried out in a hospital and an overnight stay in the hospital is needed. A person should be there to accompany you while returning home. 

For some liposuction procedures local anaesthesia is sufficient whereas for others general anaesthesia is needed. During the procedure the surgical team will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen level. The amount of fat that can be suctioned out per session ranges from 5 litres to 25 litters. Removing 25 litres of aspirate in a single session can have several health risks. Therefore, aspirate removal of 5 litres or less than that is recommended.

There are several types of liposuction procedures. They are

·        Ultrasound assisted liposuction: In this ultrasonic energy is used to rupture the fat cells and break down the fat. This makes fat removal easy.

·        Tumescent liposuction: In this a mixture of salt water, an anaesthetic and blood vessel constricting drug is injected. Then with the help of cannula fat and fluid is sucked out.

·        Laser assisted liposuction: In this technique high intensity laser light is used to break down fat. This also makes fat removal easy.

·        Power-assisted liposuction: In this the cannula rapidly moves back and forth. This makes fat removal easy. This is useful if more fat needs to be removed and in this procedure fat can be removed more precisely.

·        Twin-cannula liposuction and Water assisted liposuction are some more methods of liposuction.

One should not assume the superiority of liposuction based on its cost. The ultrasound assisted liposuction is costly as the cost of ultrasound machine is high. And though it is costly it has side effects like small cysts, burns and bruising and swelling for prolonged period of time. Tumescent liposuction is performed under local anaesthesia, hence anaesthetist is not required, and hence cost of this procedure is low. This is the best liposuction method available in present times.

Liposuction is generally done along with other procedures like augmentation. Most commonly liposuction and tummy tuck are done in combination. First excess fat is removed then the loose skin is removed. For this procedures like tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck procedures are used.

Liposuction is done along with breast augmentation. In this fat is injected in the breast that is suctioned out during liposuction. The combination of these procedures has very good results.

Liposuction Complications/Risk factors

In case of inadequate care there can be following complications

·        Fluid accumulation

·        Bruising

·        Numbness

·        Infection

·        Fat embolism

·        Kidney and heart problems

·        Lidocaine toxicity

If larger surface area and multiple procedures are carried out in same operation then the risk of complications is more. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction treatment/surgery?

A person is an ideal candidate for liposuction if s/he has stable body weight but has excess fat in specific parts of body like arms, neck, hips, buttock, abdomen, and thighs.

Recovery time of Liposuction

Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infections. The time period to resume work may be few days to few weeks.

Aftercare​
