The best candidates for liposuction are patients with a relatively normal body weight, who have pockets of stubborn fat in particular areas. Liposuction patients should have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not an alternative to weight loss.

Liposuction is only a method of removing localised fat, which cannot be lost through dieting or exercise.
Further, liposuction cosmetic surgery will only remove fat. It cannot eliminate dimpling of the skin caused by cellulite.

The initial and very important step to be taken before any decision is made before liposuction, is a personal consultation with an experienced and licensed cosmetic surgeon.
Good health is a natural prerequisite before liposuction. It should be noted that the total amount of fat removed at any time during liposuction should not be in excess of 2.5 L to avoid any complications of the general state of health.
Where the fat tissue is more extensive, the liposuction surgery should be done repeatedly at 6 to 12 monthly intervals.

The ideal age for liposuction is between 18 to 45 years. This is because contractility and elasticity of the skin are vital for successful liposuction. However, with older patients, liposuction cosmetic surgery may be done with very good results in terms of reducing the fatty tissue volume, but the risk of small subcutaneous uneven patches increases.

Before Liposuction

Before Liposuction Surgery

Before liposuction the cosmetic surgeon measures the amount of fat deposits while the patient is standing and marks the more extensive areas of fat deposits on the patient’s skin with a pen.
The liposuction cosmetic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.
The small tool used to remove fatty tissue, called a canylla, is inserted under the skin through small incisions 4 to 6 mm in length in the least visible locations during liposuction cosmetic surgery.
Then, the fat deposits are reduced with suction provided by a vacuum pump during the liposuction cosmetic surgery process.

The thickness of fat layer and the elasticity of the skin are monitored throughout the entire liposuction cosmetic surgery to determine how much fat could be removed and to ensure symmetry after the liposuction surgery.
The small skin cuts are sutured with just one or two stitches with surgical tape.
Immediately after liposuction, the patients are dressed in elastic compressive pants or garments.
The liposuction takes approximately one hour, depending on the amount of fat to be removed.

After Liposuction

After liposuction surgery

Liposuction patients stay overnight in the clinic and are usually released the next morning from the clinic.

Rest is recommended for 3 to 4 days after liposuction surgery. Any walking should be restricted to essential needs only (toilet, bathroom, eating).

Later on, after liposuction cosmetic surgery, mild and gradual load is possible. Unrestricted physical activity may be resumed roughly four weeks after the liposuction cosmetic surgery.

After liposuction, there will be some pain and the patient may feel some discomfort or numbness to the areas liposuction was performed on. Bruising will also occur on the areas liposuction has been perfomed on.

Liposuction cosmetic surgery patients should keep their elastic pants or other garments on for three days after liposuction.
On the fourth day after liposuction, they can remove the pants and take a shower.
Immediately after the shower the elastic pants should be put on again. During the first month after the liposuction cosmetic surgery, the elastic pants can be taken off only for the time needed for personal hygiene and care.

Sutures are removed on the 7th to 10th days after liposuction cosmetic surgery. Massage the areas the liposuction has been performed on with a roller several times a day; this technique will be taught during the suture removal.

Liposuction cosmetic surgery Frequently asked questions

>> Is Liposuction cosmetic surgery an alternative to weight loss?

Liposuction is not an alternative to dieting and exercise to lose weight. Actually very little weight is removed by this operation. Liposuction cosmetic surgery is a technique to remove localized collections of fat. Typically, stubborn areas of fat which do not respond to diet and exercise.
Ideally you should be close to your ideal weight. Liposuction can then be considered to refine and smooth out any resistant localized problem areas

>> Can liposuction cosmetic surgery tighten loose skin?

Liposuction cosmetic surgery does not help loose skin. Liposuction cosmetic surgery removes extra fat only. When skin has good elasticity, it shrinks nicely after liposuction cosmetic surgery. The combination of fat and loose skin are better managed by operations such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), thigh lift, arm lift, and face / neck lift.

>> How do I prepare for liposuction cosmetic surgery?

Cigarette smoking can slow down the healing process, so please stop at least 2 weeks before your liposuction cosmetic surgery.

>> Liposuction for men
