Many women long for a slimmer toned waist, but they can't achieve it due to their body fat distribution structure. Only some are blessed with perfect fat distribution. Workouts can help people to remain healthy and slim, but they cannot target fat. Therefore, No matter how much gym or intense workout a person does, fat in unwanted areas remains. People try various diets and follow workout regimes suggested by different social media platforms, but something else is needed. This is where liposuction can help them get that perfect body.

According to the best plastic surgeon, Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, at SB Aesthetics, who is known for performing the best liposuction surgery in Delhi, this treatment benefits those who have exercise-resistant fat. This procedure helps them eliminate that fat from a particular area and improve their looks aesthetically. 

Through this article, let us dive deeper into how liposuction works. 

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty and body contouring, is a common surgical procedure that involves sucking out fat from different areas such as thighs, hips, abdomen, buttocks, neck, and arms, and often contours these areas. 

Liposuctions can help contour areas not respond to exercise or different weight loss diets. This treatment can be used in the following ways:

Upper armsButtocksChestBackChin NeckHips ThighsAbdomenCalves AnklesLove handles.

Furthermore, liposuction can also be used for treating gynecomastia and breast reduction. With weight, the volume and size of the fat molecules in the body increase. The fat volume removed depends on the total volume and the area's appearance. 

Healthy skin with good elasticity and tone usually adjusts to the treated areas properly and appears smooth in texture. Skin with less elasticity typically becomes loose after the surgery.

 Cellulite dimpling or other skin surface defects are not improved by liposuction. Similarly, liposuction will not eliminate stretch marks.

Who Should Get Liposuction?

People with elastic and firm skin. Healthy and optimistic people. People who fail to reduce fat from unwanted areas even after trying every weight loss diet and exercise. Expect realistic outcomes from the surgery. Every gender over the age of 18 can get this surgery. Those who have a stable body weight. People who do not have a bleeding disorder or any other auto-immune disease. 

Who Should Not Get Liposuction Surgery?

Those who do not qualify for the physical exam. People who smoke can't stop even for a few weeks before and after the surgery. Those who have an out-of-range body mass index. Those who do not have realistic expectations for the fat to be removed. Those who have excessively loose skin or have cellulite. 

Most Popular Liposuction Surgeries

Tumescent Liposuction: This is the most often performed type of liposuction. A sterile solution comprising salt water to aid fat removal, an anesthetic (lidocaine) to relieve pain, and a drug (epinephrine) that causes blood vessels to constrict are injected into the surgical area. The fluid mixture causes edema and rigidity of the affected area.

The surgeon next makes tiny incisions in the skin and installs a thin tube known as a cannula beneath your skin. The cannula is attached to a vacuum that removes bodily fluid and fat. An intravenous (IV) line can restore your bodily fluids.

Liposuction with ultrasound assistance (UAL):  This technique is occasionally combined with standard liposuction. During this treatment, the surgeon inserts a metal rod into the skin that emits ultrasonic energy. This induces the lipo walls to rupture, making it easier to eliminate the stored fat. VASER-assisted liposuction is the latest type of UAL that uses a technology that may improve skin sculpting and reduce skin damage.

Liposuction using suction (PAL):  This method of liposuction employs a cannula that travels rapidly back and forth. This vibration allows the surgeon to take out stubborn fat more quickly and easily. In some cases, PAL may lead to less discomfort and swelling, allowing the operator to eliminate fat more accurately. The surgeon may use this approach if big amounts of fat must be removed or if the patient has undergone a previous liposuction treatment.

How to Prepare for Liposuction Surgery?

Medications and Food 

Before the procedure, the patient should ask the surgeon what to expect from the surgery. The surgeon will review the patient's medical history, including the treatments they have had before and the medications they are taking currently. The doctor will also inquire about herbs and other supplements that the person takes. The surgeon may also ask the patient to stop taking certain medications, such as NS-AIDS or blood thinners, weeks before the surgery.The patient may also require certain lab tests before getting the surgery. 

Other Precautions 

If the patient needs just a little fat removal, the procedure may be carried out in an office setting. However, the operation will take place in a hospital for a larger fat removal or the addition of other procedures, such as fat grafting. The patient will need to stay at the hospital overnight. In either case, the patients are advised to arrange for someone to drive them to the hospital and drop them home safely for at least the first night after the surgery. 

Pre-Op Care

What to Expect Before the Procedure?

It helps break the fat and sucks it out using the syringe and a vacuum.Sutures are used to close the incision site, and a specific garment is worn for around a month to assist the treated region. Depending on the extent of the operation, the patient may be able to return home after a few hours or may require to stay overnight for monitoring.
