Liposuction
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty ("fat modeling"), liposculpture suction lipectomy ("suction-assisted fat removal") or simply lipo, is a cosmetic surgery operation that removes fat from many different sites on the human body. Areas affected can range from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, to the neck, backs of the arms and elsewhere.
The surgery removes only pockets of fat and is not recommended for whole body fat removal or obesity treatment. It is not a substitute for exercise and good diet nor is it a treatment for cellulite.
Which areas can be shaped?
Fatty areas of the thighs, arms, abdomen, buttocks and neck are popular areas for fat removal. The fat is removed through suction mechanism and so a removal of small amount of fat is advised in a particular sitting to avoid dents in the contour.
What are the indications for liposuction?
- Lipomas or benign fatty tumors.
- Gynaecomastia or enlarged breasts in males.
- Lipodystrophy or abnormal lumps of fatty tissue in body parts.
- Cosmetically people with normal body weight, firm skin and pockets of fat are best candidates for this procedure..
A person who opts for this procedure should be above 18 years of age, generally in good health, non- smoker (or must quit smoking 2 weeks before procedure) and should not be suffering from any systemic illness like bleeding or clotting disorder, tuberculosis or diabetes etc. Liposuction and Abdominoplasty must not be performed together as it is highly risky.
What are the preoperative preparations required?
A complete and thorough assessment of the patient is a must. His/her medical and psychological readiness must be assessed. Expectation and outcome of the procedure must be discussed. Consent form must be signed.
The area of fat removal must be marked. Antibiotics are administered 1 hour before the procedure. Photographs must be taken before and after operation to compare the results. Blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen levels must be monitored throughout the hospital stay. Since a lot of fluid loss will occur along with fat removal, intravenous fluids will also need to be given.
Recovery Period:
If the procedure is done under local anaesthesia the person can go home the same day. Patients under regional or general anaesthesia need to stay in hospital for the night.
Person can resume normal activities fully by 2 weeks. He can move around normally by the second day of operation. Compression garments should be worn for 2-4 weeks. Pain bruising and swelling subside after 2 weeks. The results of the procedure are evident by end of 6 months.
Complications:
Seromas (fluid filled cavities), skin necrosis, skin burns, fat embolism, contour irregularities, fluid imbalance, toxicity to medications, allergy, infection and puncture of internal organs are some of the rare complications.
