Liposuction - Cure Mile

Liposuction or fat removal surgery is a procedure involving permanent removal of stubborn fat deposits from the body. These fats refuse to go away easily despite following a strict weight loss regime. The process involves sucking fat from different parts of the body with the help of a tube. You can remove fat from the chin, cheeks, upper arm, neck thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen through liposuction. It is one of the common cosmetic procedures to re-contour your body.

Is Liposuction right for you?

You need to maintain good health free from any serious disease and existing medical condition to undergo this procedure. You need to maintain desired body weight and skin elasticity. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and neither is a weight loss tool. It can also be not considered as an effective treatment for cellulite.

Procedure:

Liposuction normally is a day care procedure and takes 1-2 hours depending on the amount of fat to be removed. The procedure is highly personalized based on the individual’s requirement. Prior to the treatment, the surgeon will evaluate the fat distribution in your body and the skin and muscle tone to determine the appropriate technique.

There will be small incisions on the marked areas from where the fat will be sucked out. The incisions made are likely to very small so postoperative stitches may not be needed. A thin plastic tube called cannula is inserted in the incisions to remove excess fat. A powerful high-pressure vacuum is attached to the other end of the cannula to remove the fat quickly and effectively from the skin.

Some surgeons apply the wet technique for this process. It involves injecting solutions into the areas of treatment. The surgeon may use ultrasound to assist in this procedure. Multiple areas can be treated at the same time. In case of bigger cuts, the areas may be stitched with dissolvable sutures.

The effect of this procedure is instant and you get a firmer and proportionate appearance. The prime benefit of this procedure is that even if you gain body fat, it will not rest in the already treated areas.

Recovery

Overnight hospital stays are normally not required. You will have tight bandages wrapped on the cut areas. Compression garments will be there to put your back to the desired shape. Bruising fades away quickly. The period of staying off from work may vary from a few days to a couple of weeks depending upon the extent of liposuction done.

Gradually, within 3-4 weeks you can resume your normal exercises but strenuous activities should be avoided for 10-12 weeks. Unless you are comfortable enough to fix your seatbelt, avoid driving.
