Liposuction in India is a popular surgical procedure for removing fat from particular areas of the body. If you are considering liposuction surgery its very important for you to know if you will be suitably benefitted by this surgery.
There are three main categories of people who seek best liposuction surgeon India.
Category I: People with Nearly Normal Weight
Contrary to common perception these are the best candidates for liposuction.
Ideal candidates for liposuction in India:
Safety: Safe Results: Permanent
Category II: Moderately Overweight
Those who are 10 to 50 percent above their normal weight, with fat everywhere but relatively excessive in one or two body parts like hips, abdomen, thighs. These body parts can be selectively liposuctioned to bring in harmony with rest of the body.
These people seek liposuction because they are unable to get back in shape with their diet and exercise or they have a short-term slimming target in a few months for some important event.
Safety: Liposuction of fat from one or two areas at a time with limited fat removal is safe.
Results: Results will need to be maintained. If the basic reason for weight gains like unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle remain then the fat is bound to reaccumulate. Results are long lasting and can even improve if a person adopts a healthy lifestyle.
Category III: Grossly Obese Those who are 30 to 100 percent or more above their ideal body weight are not good candidates for liposuction. These people have bulges everywhere, and sometimes they suffer from obesity-related conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia. They want liposuction for weight reduction. This group does not benefit from liposuction even though liposuction is possible.
Safety: Liposuction is not meant for losing weight from the overall body. Expecting to lose more than 6 to 7 kgs of weight by liposuction can be risky.
Results: Poor, because the limited amount of fat that can be removed in one sitting will not give a satisfactory look. Unless they change their lifestyle drastically fat will come back.
Procedures
During the consultation, you can talk to Dr Priti about the parts of your body you want to be liposuctioned. If you want many areas of the body to be treated, then she can help you select 2 to 3 most important areas that can be treated in one sitting and you can have the rest of the areas done in another sitting. You can also find out how much fat can be removed in one sitting.
You can see the representative clinical pictures of patients to satisfy yourself about the procedure and ask any questions regarding the results, and possible risks of the surgery.
You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, previous surgeries, and medications. It is important for you to provide complete information. You will be asked about your lifestyle and pattern of weight gain/loss.
Routine diagnostic tests to assess your fitness for surgery and anaesthesia will be ordered.
Once you have decided to undergo liposuction surgery, you will be evaluated for your fitness for anaesthesia and surgery by Dr Priti or if necessary by the anaesthesiologist. Your diagnostic test reports will be studied. Dr Priti will examine you taking measurements and clinical photographs for your medical record.
You will sign the consent forms and will be given detailed preoperative instructions in writing.
ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) and several other world authorities recommend fat removal equivalent to 5-8 percent of body weight as an upper limit. That means five kgs can be safely removed from a 60 kilos person and 8 kilos from a 100 kilos person.
Removal of more fat is occasionally done if the person is perfectly healthy and is willing to accept higher risk. This can be done only in a hospital with ultramodern support systems.
Liposuction of 500 ml or more fat is a major surgical procedure and is safe when done by a qualified person in a hospital with good anaesthetic and ICU facilities. In the absence of the abovementioned, even smaller liposuction can be risky.
Liposuctioned parts are covered in padding for two days. Liposuction holes are left open usually, and there is a discharge of bloodstained fluid which is soaked by padding. If needed you can change the padding. You will be wearing a stretchable tight garment on the operated part. Your dressings will be changed after two days in the doctor’s clinic. You can have a shower from the 4th day after surgery and can remove your dressings and wash your whole body. You will be given instructions about self-dressing at home after bath everyday. Initially, you will notice liposuctioned part to be swollen and sometimes with black and blue patches. The liposuctioned part may also feel numb and tender. You will wear a support garment for 4-6 weeks until the swelling and discoloration diminish. There are no stitches.
Results are permanent if you maintain your body weight by sensible lifestyle.
