Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure by which excess fat is removed from the body. Fat is taken out by a small hole using a thin metallic cannula and a special suction device or syringe. This technique is called tumescent liposuction. There are no visible scar. Up to 3 to 6 liters of fat can be extracted in a single sitting. After the procedure most patients can go home the same day. Abdomen and hip are the common places treated. Buttock, flanks, back folds, double chin, thighs and arms can also be reduced by this wonderful procedure. There is a visible improvement in the appearance of the area treated by liposuction; like flattening of abdominal bulges and decrease in girth of arms. After liposuction HDL (protective lipoprotein in the blood) increases.
As a result risk of heart attack and paralysis from stroke is decreased. Liposuction also improves Insulin tolerance and hence can prevent latent diabetic patients from developing full blown diabetes.

Liposuction is the commonest plastic procedure in the west (more than 2,237,966 cases done each year in the USA alone) (Ref. ISAPS Global Survey 2023). We use tumescent liposuction technique, which is very easy and safe. Treated areas do not recollect fat even if one overeats; this is because the fat cells are removed during liposuction. But the importance of healthy diet and regular exercise is always emphasized. Already more than a thousand patients have undergone slimming/beautification at the Cosmetic Surgery Centre. They include showbiz people, doctors, engineers, students and nurses.

Abdominoplasty is the plastic surgery for pendulous abdomen. Here liposuction alone will not be beneficial. In abdominoplasty operation excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen is removed, lax abdominal muscles tightened and the umbilicus is repositioned at a higher point. Finally upper abdominal skin flap is pulled down and stitched just above the groin level. This makes the abdomen look flat.
