What Every Patient Need To Understand Before Getting A Liposuction

ByDr. Kiranmayi Atla

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that eliminates extra fat, giving the body a better contour and shape. Certain body parts frequently accumulate deposits of undesired fat as people gain and lose weight, making it challenging to shed the fat with diet and exercise. These fatty cells may be permanently removed with liposuction. Many plastic surgeons can now provide patients with more accurate outcomes and speedier recovery times because of new procedures available, such as ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty (UAL), power-assisted lipoplasty (PAL), VASER, the suction assisted lipoplasty (SAL) technique, and the liposculpting method.

Dr. Kiranmayi Atla, the renowned plastic surgeon, who provides best liposuction in Faridabad at The Beauty And The Cut Clinic, shares her insights regarding liposuction surgery.

Who is an Ideal Candidate For Liposuction?

One needs to be a good candidate for liposuction surgery and have realistic expectations for the procedure’s benefits. Patients who have localized fat in the following places are typically appropriate candidates for liposuction:

  • Upper arms, jowls, 
  • Jowls, neck and cheeks 
  • The breasts or chest area. 
  • Back 
  • Waist and abdomen 
  • Hips and thighs 
  • Outer and inner thighs 
  • Inside of knee 
  • Ankles and calves.

The goal of the liposuction treatment is to reduce localized fat deposits that are resistant to dietary changes and exercise. Patients who exercise and make healthy eating a priority in their postoperative routine get the best results following liposuction.

Not everyone who undergoes liposuction surgery will get the same outcome due to specific characteristics, including skin elasticity and body type. Complications after liposuction are also more likely in those with medical disorders like diabetes, severe heart or lung illness, or poor blood circulation. To be sure liposuction is the best option, one should thoroughly discuss their medical condition and the surgical expectations with the surgeon before opting for the procedure.

Procedures offered at The Beauty And The Cut Clinic:

  • SAL (Suction Assisted Liposuction)

This approach uses a manual version of the standard SAL liposuction procedure. The body’s fat is removed using blunt cannulas attached by large bore tubing to a high vacuum suction machine. Large syringes can also be used for the procedure. It works best for low-volume harvesting of soft fat.

  • PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction)

It is a power-assisted tool that functions similarly to SAL. The sole difference is that the fat quickly vibrates and oscillates into an emulsion before being suctioned out. As a result, fat is removed more quickly.

  • VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance)

It is a liposuction device that uses ultrasonic technology to break down the fat. This is helpful for patients undergoing repeat liposuction and for places like the back where the fat is fibrous. It works well to retract the skin and is helpful when there is a lot of extra skin in addition to fat.

  • Laser Lipo or Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Laser intensities have been used for liposuction. The energy produced by the Nd: Yag (1064 nm) laser is used in the laser liposuction method to break down fat. These high-energy tools help create the appropriate outlines with more control and accuracy.

  • High-Definition Liposuction or Liposculpting

It is for people who want more from their bodies than just smoothing out their imperfections and having perfectly chiseled bodies. Many struggles to maintain a thin, athletic physique because they must juggle work obligations and find time to work out. Hi-def liposuction enables those getting close to their objectives to cross the target line. With the use of power-assisted (PAL), ultrasound-assisted VASER lipo, or laser lipo technologies, the abdomen is sculpted to provide the appearance of six-pack abs, and the chest and butt are defined to create the ideal silhouette.

Moreover, which surgery one should undergo ultimately depends on the patient’s expected results. After that, the surgeon will decide which procedure or technique can be used to achieve the best outcomes. 

How Long Do the Effects of Liposuction Surgery Last?

If one maintains their postoperative weight, the effects of liposuction are long-lasting. Even if one puts on a few extra pounds, one could notice that the weight is spread more evenly than it used to be, rather than building up in the troublesome regions. Patients who are determined, exercise frequently and follow a healthy diet after liposuction get the best outcomes.

Liposuction surgery is followed by postoperative care. One must eat a healthy diet, drink enough water, and must also follow the recommendations following the guidelines and instructions as shared by the doctor.

Understanding the Risks of Liposuction

Fortunately, problems following liposuction surgery are uncommon. The surgery is carried out on thousands of patients each year with little to no consequences. However, anyone considering surgery should be aware of both the advantages and disadvantages of liposuction.

One should be aware that there are dangers associated with every medical surgery, but how can one find out more so that one can make an informed choice?

 

  • The best way to discuss probable liposuction surgery complications is in private with the surgeon. A one to one session is advisable to discuss all the queries and expectations, says the expert cosmetic surgeon in Faridabad at The Beauty And The Cut Clinic.

 

  • Bleeding, infections and adverse reactions to anesthesia are just a few potential issues that may be brought up with one. Although it is conceivable, blood clots under the skin typically disappear on their own and hardly ever need to be removed. 

 

  • Even though skin numbness after liposuction is usually always transient, it is possible for some lack of sensation to last longer than expected or for skin discoloration to develop in the treated regions. 

 

  • Some patients may experience contour anomalies following liposuction surgery, such as depressions or skin wrinkles. However, therapies are typically available to assist in eliminating these issues if they do arise.

Hence, one must consult an expert surgeon to achieve safe outcomes.

Regarding The Liposuction Plastic Surgeon: Keeping in Touch

  • One will visit their liposuction plastic surgeon for follow-up appointments after their treatment to check on the healing. To ensure that the recovery process goes as smoothly as possible, it’s crucial that one keeps these appointments.
  • Please remember that even after one leaves the operation room, the relationship with their liposuction plastic surgeon continues. One should get in touch with their liposuction surgeon if one has any questions or concerns while recovering from the procedure or if one needs more information later.
