Liposuction in India

Lipoplasty may be the perfect solution for you if you have a fatty pocket that just doesn’t seem to be responsive to diet and exercise. Liposuction cost can vary depending on the extent of the surgery. Details of your procedure, including financial obligations, should be thoroughly discussed prior to any cosmetic surgery.

Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction ?

If you are considering liposuction, it is important that you have realistic expectations. Although dramatic results can be achieved, they may not be as immediate or obvious as you would like. As with all plastic surgery, the success of liposuction will depend on a number of individual factors, such as age, skin elasticity, weight, and overall health.

Liposuction is not appropriate for people with a weakened immune system, diabetes, heart or artery problems, or a history of blood clots or restricted blood flow. You are a good candidate for liposuction if you are of normal weight; have healthy, elastic skin; and have specific “trouble areas” such as the tummy, thighs, and butt that will not respond to changes in diet and exercise. Liposuction is also appropriate for women who are considering breast reduction, and for men who suffer from gynecomastia, or male breast development.

What does Liposuction surgery do ?

It removes the localized deposits of fat that are resistant to diets and physical exercise. If you try to keep fit and you eat healthy food and still you can’t get rid of the fat of certain areas of your body, especially in the abdomen, hips, knees, ankles, arms and face, then liposuction may be the answer you are looking for. It models your body. If programmed correctly, the fat removed may be used to add volume to your buttocks.

What does Liposuction surgery NOT do ?

It does not lift hanging skin. If your problem is the excess skin, we recommend that you visit the section of our site devoted to dermolipectomy. It does not cure obesity. If you suffer severe eating disorders, you may be interested in visiting the section of our site devoted to bariatric surgery. It does not eliminate cellulite.

Recovering from liposuction

Your surgeon will advise you on the exact post-operative care required as this varies according to the areas treated, how much fat is removed and your natural skin elasticity.

You can usually take over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if you need them. Always follow the instructions in the patient information leaflet that comes with the medicine.

You will usually need to wear your elasticated garment or bandages for up to three weeks. Don’t do strenuous exercise for up to four weeks, but walking and gentle exercises are encouraged. If you had treatment to a large area, you may need to take up to 10 days off work.

If you have had dissolvable stitches, the amount of time they will take to disappear depends on the type of stitches you have. They usually disappear in around two to three weeks, but it can sometimes take longer. Other stitches may need to be removed after about seven days.

It may be several months before you see changes to your body shape as the swelling can take time to settle down. If you have skin with good elasticity, it’s more likely to shrink down to fit your new body shape well. It’s possible that you still won’t be happy with your appearance after the operation.
