Liposuction
The procedure of Liposuction involves removal of Fat by a tube and a vacuum instrument. Tiny incisions are made in the hidden areas of the body to gain access to the areas which require fat removal. The most common method used to remove fat is the tumescent method of liposuction. In this method, a solution is infused into the body which contains numbing agents and also medicines that decrease the blood loss. Overall this increases the safety of the procedure tremendously and also decreases the pain.
Anesthesia
Most often general anesthesia is used, although for very limited areas local anesthesia may resort.
Immediate Post-OP
A special body suit called a compression garment is put on soon after the procedure. It helps in reducing the swelling post-operatively and also helps in the shrinking and draping of the skin to give a better shape to the body.
Inpatient/Outpatient
For volumes upto 5L, the patients may be discharged on the very same day but for higher volume liposuction or liposuction done for weight loss, patients are recommended to stay in the hospital overnight for the monitoring purposes.
Possible Side Effects
Temporary bruising, swelling, numbness, soreness or burning sensations are the possible side effects patients may expect after the procedure.
Recovery
Performed in the hands of a trained Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, the chances of complications become really very less. Otherwise, they may range from infection, asymmetry, rippling or looseness of the skin, pigmentation changes (hypo/hyper), injury to the skin, fluid retention and/or excessive loss of blood and fluids. The patients are encouraged to drink enough fluids and keep their energy levels high by intake of high protein diet.
