What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction, a minimally invasive keyhole surgery, is the most reliable method for eliminating stubborn fat deposits. By precisely targeting resistant fat, it ensures a sculpted and refined physique that may be challenging to achieve through traditional means.

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or body contouring, is a cosmetic surgery performed by a cosmetic or plastic surgeon. The procedure is not to be confused as a type of weight loss surgery, rather it is a surgery performed to remove fat pockets that refuse to budge.

Who is An Ideal Candidate For Liposuction?

People who are unable to lose stubborn fat even after undergoing diet and exercise, liposuction provides the best result for those cases. Stubborn fat can be located in the tummy, thighs, hips, flanks, breasts, arms, double chin, etc. Many clients who wish to get six packs, high-definition liposuction is the answer for them.

Adults with an average or slightly above-average body weight, good general health, firm skin with elasticity, good muscle tone, non-smokers, and realistic expectations from liposuction procedures are considered to be ideal candidates for liposuction.

How Does Liposuction Work?

The area from where fat is to be removed is marked and a special tumescent fluid is injected. The fat gets liquefied, which is then sucked out with a small cannula (3-5mm). Post surgery a pressure garment is given to be worn for a week.
After the liposuction procedure, the skin tends to mold itself to the new shape of the liposuction-treated areas. The resultant body shape changes are normally permanent, provided the weight of the patient remains the same and does not fluctuate much.

Liposuction Surgery Specifics

To achieve the perfect contour, merely removing the fat is not enough, many times we need to take out fat from one place and inject it at the required place to achieve the best result. This is called liposculpture.

Liposculpture helps in adding definition to the smaller body areas and has a quick recovery compared to liposuction, which involves the removal of larger amounts of body fat and has a slower recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pregnancy does not alter the results of liposuction surgery. Naturally, during pregnancy, there will be some weight gain, but after post-pregnancy weight loss, the original results of the surgery will be evident. At The Aesthetica in Ahmedabad, we offer a mommy makeover body contouring to get back in shape post-pregnancy at reasonable rates.
The number of incisions made during the procedure depends on the size and location of the area treated. These incisions may heal in a week. Moreover, the scars become less noticeable between three to six months.
A traditional liposuction procedure requires 2-4 hours. Several factors influence the surgical duration, such as the number and size of areas treated, the amount of fat to be removed, the surgeon's experience, the technique used, and the complexity of the procedure.

A liposuction treatment can effectively remove 8-10% of total body weight. For example, if your body weight is approximately 60 kg, liposuction can remove 6 liters of fat from your body.
Guidelines suggest a fat removal of not more than eleven pounds or five liters during a single liposuction session. However, this value will vary among different patients based on their weight, general health, treatment areas, and desired treatment results.

Although rare, liposuction surgery may be associated with certain complications, like:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Swelling
  • Allergic reaction to the anesthesia used
  • Scarring
  • Numbness in the area of treatment
  • Contour irregularities
  • Skin sensation changes
  • Poor wound healing
  • Skin discoloration
  • Internal organ puncture
  • The buildup of fluid under the skin (seroma)
  • Fat embolism (fat pieces get trapped in a blood vessel that gathers in the lungs or travels to the brain)
  • Kidney and heart problems

The choice between tummy tuck and liposuction depends on the specific needs of a person. A tummy tuck involves the removal of excess skin and tightening of the muscles in the abdominal region and is recommended in cases of sagging following significant weight loss or after pregnancy. Liposuction is done for stubborn fat removal in different parts of the body and is recommended in cases of fat deposits without skin laxity.

A tummy tuck surgery is more invasive, more expensive, has more side effects, and a longer recovery time compared to a liposuction surgery. You should consult your plastic surgeon to know which procedure is best suited for your case.

Skin elasticity indeed affects the treatment results. If you have good skin elasticity, your skin will appear natural post-liposuction. However, if you have poor skin elasticity, the skin may appear uneven.
As you grow older, the firmness and elasticity of your skin decrease. So, when an aged person undergoes liposuction, the chances of having a smooth skin appearance are comparatively less. You may see wrinkles in some areas of the skin after liposuction due to reduced elasticity. You may need other surgical procedures to remove the excess skin, which might add to the cost.
During recovery, you may feel soreness and discomfort at the surgical site. The surgeon may prescribe pain medications to control this discomfort. You can also wear loose-fitting clothes and give yourself plenty of cushions and pillows for support. In addition, a compression garment can be worn to ease your recovery journey.

The results of liposuction start showing three to six weeks after the surgery. However, the final results will be seen approximately one to three months after the surgery. The more the amount of fat removed, the longer it will take the skin to get adjusted to the new body contours, and more delayed will be the final treatment results.

Eating a healthy and nutritious diet, drinking lots of water, and following all the post-operative given by the plastic surgeon can help in quicker healing and results.

Yes, liposuction provides permanent fat loss results. The fat cells that are removed using the liposuction procedure cannot be replaced by new fat cells. However, the existing fat cells can grow and expand in size with an increase in weight.

It is, therefore, important to maintain a healthy weight by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly to maintain the results obtained after a liposuction surgery.

Why Do You Need Liposuction?

If you have average or slightly above average body weight with lots of undesirable fat pouches in different parts of the body, you could consider undergoing a liposuction surgery. You may need a liposuction procedure in the following cases:

  • You have tried exercising and dieting for many years and some body areas do not respond or shrink naturally.
  • You want to smoothen the fatty bulges on the body.
  • You want a permanent change in how certain parts of your body look.
  • You are a male with enlarged breasts, a condition known as gynecomastia, and the surgeon has suggested liposuction to get rid of the excess breast tissue.
  • You can give a time of approximately four to six weeks after liposuction surgery for your body to recover.

  • Abdomen or stomach
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Upper arms
  • Chest and back
  • Thighs
  • Inner knee, ankles, or calves
  • Face, cheeks, neck, or chin

  • Underweight people
  • Extremely overweight or obese people

  • Having a life-threatening medical condition

What Are the Types of Liposuction Surgeries?

Different types of liposuction surgeries can be performed depending on your goal for undergoing the procedure. The different types of liposuction surgeries may include:

  • Tumescent liposuction: It is the most common type of liposuction surgery. The procedure for this type of liposuction involves injecting salt or saline water into the fatty areas of the patient. This mixture has medicines like epinephrine, that help in the shrinkage of the blood vessels. This will help the surgeon to easily remove the fat and also reduce blood loss.
  • Suction-assisted liposuction: This is a traditional method of liposuction surgery involving the use of a vacuum for fat removal from the patient’s body.
  • Power-assisted liposuction: This type of liposuction surgery involves the use of a tiny stainless-steel cannula or tool that can move back and forth over the fat area to break up the fat and remove it.
  • Ultrasound-assisted liposuction or UAL: This liposuction procedure is done using ultrasonic energy by placing a metal rod underneath the skin to liquefy the fat before it can be removed by the plastic surgeon.
  • Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance or VASER: This procedure is a modified form of UAL. This technique involves the use of a stainless-steel tool with grooves or a cannula along with ultrasound waves to break up and then remove the fat cells.
  • Laser-assisted liposuction: A small incision is made by the surgeon on the skin in this type of liposuction surgery. Strong laser lights are then used on a fiber, which is a tiny, flexible tube, to break down and liquefy the fat for easy removal.

How to Prepare for Liposuction?

The following preparation may be needed before a liposuction surgery:

  • The patient needs to discuss in detail with the surgeon about any medical history or current medical conditions that may be present.
  • If the patient is taking any medicines or supplements currently, the surgeon should be informed about them.
  • The patient will be asked to undergo some diagnostic lab tests before the procedure to assess the general health of the patient and eligibility to undergo surgery.
  • The patient may be asked to stop the consumption of blood-thinning medications at least a couple of days before the surgery.
  • Women are asked to stop taking any contraceptive pills a few days before the surgery.
  • Patients with anemia are prescribed iron supplements to be started before the liposuction surgery.
  • The patient may be instructed to avoid eating or drinking anything a few hours before the procedure.
  • The surgeon will inform the patient about the benefits, possible risks, and alternatives to liposuction before undergoing the procedure. An informed consent will have to be signed by the patient before undergoing the surgery.

What is the Procedure of Liposuction Surgery?

The liposuction procedure may be performed under local anesthesia (numbing the surgical area) or general anesthesia (making the patient unconscious before the procedure). The liposuction procedure is performed as follows:

  • The surgeon first makes small, inconspicuous incisions in the treatment area.
  • A diluted type of local anesthesia is administered to shrink the blood vessels in the area and reduce the bleeding and trauma during surgery.
  • A hollow, thin tube or cannula is then inserted by the surgeon through the incisions to loosen the excess fat by using a controlled back-and-forth motion.
  • The dislodged fat will then be suctioned out of the body with the help of a syringe attached to the cannula or a surgical vacuum.
  • Depending on the type of liposuction technique being used, the surgeon removes the fat from the body in the following different ways:
    • Tumescent liposuction: A pressurized stream of saline or salt water is used by the surgeon to loosen the fat cells.
    • Suction-assisted liposuction: The surgeoninserts a cannula under the skin to break up the fat. A high-pressure vacuum will then be applied to the cannula to help remove the fat from the body.
    • Power-assisted liposuction: The surgeon will use a vibrating cannula to break up the stubborn fat into tiny pieces, making it easier for the surgeon to remove the fat.
    • Ultrasound-assisted liposuction or UAL: Ultrasonic vibrations will be used to create a high amount of energy for dissolving the fat.
    • Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance or VASER: Ultrasonic vibrations are used with a cannula to remove the fat cells in this procedure.
    • Laser-assisted liposuction: The procedure is similar to UAL, except that a laser is used instead of ultrasonic energy to dissolve the fat.
  • The incisions made are then closed using stitches (sutures).
  • The entire procedure takes approximately one to three hours to complete.

Recovery After Liposuction

Recovery following a liposuction procedure will vary among different patients based on the type of liposuction procedure performed, the amount of fat removed, and the general health of the patient. Normally, the following can be expected during the recovery period after liposuction surgery:

  • If you have undergone the surgery under general anesthesia, you will have to stay overnight in the hospital before being discharged. If you have undergone the surgery under local anesthesia, you can leave the hospital a couple of hours after the procedure.
  • You will be provided with compression bandages or an elastic support corset to be worn around the treatment area.
  • You will need to wear the compression garments for at least a few weeks after the surgery.
  • You need to take sufficient rest for two to three days after the surgery.
  • You will have some pain, bruising, swelling, and numbness in the treatment area for a couple of days after the surgery.
  • You can take the painkillers prescribed by your surgeon to reduce your pain and discomfort.
