Liposuction

Liposuction treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a type of cosmetic surgery that removes fat from the body. It is usually performed on the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, and Liposuction can improve the appearance of these areas by making them look slimmer.

Liposuction is usually performed under general anaesthesia. It means that you will be asleep during the surgery. The surgeon will make small incisions in the skin and insert a small tube, called a cannula, into the incisions. The cannula is then used to suction the fat out of the body. Visit our plastic surgery hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

Liposuction is considered a safe procedure, but like all surgeries, there are some risks involved. These risks include infection, bleeding, and blood clots. Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery and should not be used as a substitute for proper diet and exercise.

Pre-procedure for Liposuction

  • The first step is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your areas of concern and discuss your goals for surgery.

  • Once you have decided to proceed with surgery, your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on preparing for your procedure.

  • You will need to stop taking certain medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, two weeks before surgery.

  • You should also avoid drinking alcohol for at least 72 hours before your procedure.

  • On the day of surgery, you will need to arrive at the surgical facility wearing loose, comfortable clothing.

  • Your surgeon will administer anaesthesia, and once you are asleep, the procedure will begin.

Procedure for Liposuction

The procedure for liposuction is relatively simple. First, the area to be treated is marked, and a local anaesthetic is injected. It numbs the area and makes the procedure more comfortable. A small incision is made, and a cannula (a small tube) is inserted. The cannula is attached to a suction device, and the excess fat is suctioned out. The incision is then closed with stitches.

The whole procedure takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. There is usually some bruising and swelling after the procedure, but this will resolve over the next few weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment for a few weeks to help with the swelling. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Post-procedure 

  • Most patients report feeling sore and achy for the first few days following liposuction surgery. It is normal and will subside as the body heals.

  • Activity should be limited for the first few days following surgery. Avoid strenuous activity and exercise until cleared by your surgeon.

  • You will likely have drains to help remove excess fluid from the treatment area. These will be removed once the swelling has gone down in a few days.

  • You will be required to wear a compression garment for several weeks following surgery. It helps to minimise swelling and support the treated area.

  • You will likely have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing and progress.
