What are the benefits of liposuction?

Liposuction can eliminate small deposits of fat from stubborn areas unresponsive to diet and exercise.The re-contouring effects of the procedure are often so dramatic that it looks as though more weight has been lost. Liposuction benefits are often more than aesthetic. Many patients are able to partake in activities they had previously avoided because of their appearance, and most report an increase in their confidence.

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?

You are a good candidate for liposuction if you are at or near your normal weight. People with localized areas of fat see the most dramatic results. Patients with firm, elastic skin will find that the skin fits easier to their reduced contour. There is no age limit for liposuction though older patients may have lesser skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.

What does the liposuction procedure involve?

Liposuction is always performed in the operation theater at Karishma Cosmetic & Laser Centre. Most patients walk out of the clinic on the same day itself. In some cases, patients may need to spend a night at the clinic. If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas. Some patients prefer general anesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed.

Different techniques of liposuction at Karishma

The basic technique of liposuction is same in all cases but variations have been made by surgeons to improve the ease of the procedure and to enhance outcome.

The technology for all these techniques is available at Karishma Cosmetic and Laser Clinic. The best technique suited to you will be advised by Dr Sanghvi during the initial consultation.

1)Tumescent technique of liposuction . . .

The most basic and common technique is the Tumescent liposuction technique. In this procedure, a large amount of saline solution is injected through tiny incisions into the area to be treated. A narrow tube or cannula is inserted to vacuum the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is pushed and then pulled through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells and suctioning them out. Tumescent Liposuction is the traditional way of extracting fat from a specific region of the body. Here, the surgeon first injects a sterile solution comprising of salt-water, lidocaine and epinephrine into the target region. This solution reacts with the underlying fat and makes it easier to suck it out with minimal pain and blood loss. Sometimes, adrenaline is also added to the solution for preventing excessive bleeding.

2)Super-wet technique of liposuction . . .

Super-wet liposuction is similar to tumescent liposuction, but less fluid is injected into the treatment area. The saline fluid separates fat from muscle, making it easier for the liposuction surgeon to remove fat. This procedure takes longer than basic liposuction because the saline fluid must percolate before fat removal can begin.

3)Ultrasound-assisted Liposuction . . .

This technique is performed with the help of a special cannula that produces ultrasonic energy. As this cannula passes through the areas of fat, the energy explodes the walls of the fat cells and liquefies the fat. The fat is then removed using the basic tumescent technique of liposuction.

In UAL, the underlying fat in a particular region is subjected to ultrasound waves at a specific frequency and for a specific amount of time. These waves vibrate the fat tissues vigourously, rupturing their cell walls and liquifying them. The liquified fat is then easily removed with a suction pump. 4)Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): In this technique, an electrically powered device that oscillates in a piston-cylinder type cannula is used to suck out the excess fat. As compared to the suction-assisted technique, PAL reduces the surgeon’s work allowing them to work flexibly and also results in a higher amount of fat removal in less time. This method is normally used to remove fat from difficult, secondary and scarred areas or for removing a large amount of fat for transplants. 5)Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): This technique uses a high-intensity laser beam to emulsify the solidified fat under the skin. The surgeon inserts a fibre through an incision and shoots a laser beam that directly breaks down the fat deposits. The emulsified fat is then sucked out through a cannula. Vaser Liposuction Vaser Liposuction is an advanced alternative option for traditional liposuction. The treatment is gaining popularity for the aesthetic appearance it provides with less pain and side effects compared to conventional liposuction. The VASERlipo has this unique ability to react only on a particular area chosen to target fat without affecting the nearby essential tissues. The VASERlipo treatment uses ultrasound energy to melt the fats and remove them from a patient’s body. This process is an ideal choice for areas which have a larger volume of fat to burn and are denser. Vaser treatment is gentle on the skin and therefore makes it easy for the patient to recover soon. Vaser liposuction is considered by patients who failed to get a dramatic transformation even after following diet and vigorous exercises. VASERlipo treatment can sculpt and shape different body parts in one single procedure, which includes Jowls, chin, and neck

Abs, hips, and love handles

Male and female breasts

Arms

Buttocks, thighs, and back

Knees, calves, and ankles Vaser liposuction treatment is a clinically proven procedure that produces even results if performed under expert guidance. Treatment Overview VASERlipo is performed using a saline solution mixed with anaesthetics (tumescent liquid) which gets injected into the body region that needs treatment. The fat cells are then treated using state of the art ultrasound technology to melt the fat cells. These fat cells are then removed from your body using a suction process. The saline solution used for Vaser liposuction treatment gives the patient smoother and contoured looks that he/she desired. Also, the solution eliminates any risk of bleeding or bruising by protecting the vital tissues from damage. Visit Karishma Cosmetics for more details on VASERlipo treatment.

What are post-operative expectations?

After surgery, you will most likely experience some fluid drainage from the incisions. To control swelling and to help your skin better fit its new contours, you may be fitted with a snug elastic compression garment to wear over the treated area for a few weeks upto 3 months.The stitches are removed or dissolve on their own within the first week to 10 days.

How long does it take to get back to normal activities?

You should be back to work or your normal activities within just a few days after surgery. Walking around as soon as possible will help reduce swelling. Though liposuction helps remove fat permanently it is important to know that it does not prevent additional weight gain. Hence in order to maintain the results you have achieved with liposuction, it will be important to watch your diet and follow a regular exercise routine like walking, aerobics or weight-training.
