Liposuction

Liposuction is not intended for significant weight loss and is generally used to remove localized fat deposits rather than large amounts of weight. Most surgeons recommend that patients be within 30% of their ideal body weight for the procedure, and typically, only about 5 to 10 pounds can be safely removed during a single session. Removing 50 pounds through liposuction would not only be unsafe but could also lead to complications. For significant weight loss, lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery might be more appropriate options.

Liposuction is sometimes performed before a facelift to enhance the overall results by removing excess fat from areas like the neck, chin, or jowls. This is especially beneficial for individuals with stubborn fat deposits that contribute to a "heavier" facial appearance. By eliminating this fat, liposuction improves the contouring and definition of the facelift, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look.

Dr. Salman Khan, a top hair transplant and body contouring surgeon, notes that performing liposuction first allows the surgeon to better assess and tighten the skin during the facelift procedure. This combined approach reduces the chances of uneven results and enhances overall symmetry. It is most effective for those with good skin elasticity, as their skin can contract well after fat removal, complementing the facelift results.

Always consult a board-certified surgeon to create a personalized plan tailored to your facial structure and cosmetic goals.

There are a few ways to hide liposuction scars. You can apply cocoa butter to the scars and vitamin E as well to help the scars fade better. You can also use a make up cover up to hide your scars. It is recommended to seek advice from a cosmetic surgeon.

All surgery procedures leave scars, but scars from liposuction usually heal very nicely. This is because they are generally small and carefully placed. If you are young, scars are likely to heal even faster.

Tumescent Liposuction claims to allow you to wear whatever you want after ridding yourself of those stubborn love handles. The flank and love handle Liposculpture procedure is said to be easier and safer than traditional liposuction. It uses a small laser to melt away fat and won't leave unsightly scars.

Great question! The answer is that there is no scientific evidence that laser liposuctionoffers any benefits over standard liposuction. The retraction of the overlying skin has to do with its turgor rather than the instrument used to remove the fat. No matter the modality, (whether laser, vaser, smart liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction) they all produce the same results. Through small incisions a liposuction cannula is inserted and fat cells are gently removed. Liposuction is the ideal procedure for removing small localized areas of fat to create a smooth, contoured physique.

"Most patients who have undergone inner thigh liposuction can return to work with little discomfort after a period of 10 days although numbness, bruising, and swelling can continue for a period of months. Full recovery and results are usually not seen until 4 - 6 months after procedure."

After liposuction, it is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least two to six weeks, depending on your surgeon’s specific advice. During the early recovery phase, your skin is sensitive and prone to complications like discoloration, scarring, or prolonged swelling if exposed to UV rays. Even after the initial healing, the treated areas and incisions require extra care to prevent hyperpigmentation or irritation.

When venturing outdoors, use a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or higher), wear protective clothing like long sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat, and try to stay in shaded areas. Avoid intense sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM–4 PM) and consult your doctor for personalized guidance on your recovery timeline

Medical appliances typically use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy density, long lifespan, and ability to hold a charge even when not in use for extended periods of time. These batteries provide reliable power sources for medical devices like pacemakers, hearing aids, and mobile medical equipment.

Three liters of fat would be equivalent to about 26.4 pounds in weight, as fat has a density of around 0.9 kg/L. This amount of fat would provide around 23,400 calories of energy, as each gram of fat contains 9 calories. It is important to balance fat intake with overall dietary needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

For the scan, the patient lies on a special scanning table, as either a single camera passing underneath the table or two cameras (one above the table and one underneath) are placed as close as possible to the body, slowly scanning the person's body.

"The dangers of male liposuction are removing too much tissue and fat, infection at the surgery site, blood clots and bruising, swelling, temporary numbness and discomfort in the surgically treated area."

I don't know much about it, but in USA you can. I live in Europe and I'm almost completely sure that it's not legal in here.

Depends where you will have it done... Colombia is considered to be the best choice as safety and price are concerned.

India is the best choice because of the high quality treatments at low cost. Especially, you can choose Chennai and also contact Chennai Medicare Tourism.

Whether you can get liposuction on your face depends on your exact condition. Generally speaking, liposuction requires a person to have so much excess fat cells that the suction machine can safety be inserted and suction out the fat after having loosened it.

The signs of liposuction infection are the same as any surgical infection. Increased pain, swelling, redness in the area. If it progresses it can lead to systemic effects of fever or weakness.

Yes, I have. I went to a top surgeon who practices at Harley Street (and what was the West London Clinic), and who appeared many times on Make me Perfect and Ten Years Younger. He was also one of the founders of the school for cosmetic surgery at the West London Clinic - and because of this, I considered him to be one of the most highly skilled surgeons in the country.

I had liposuction to my outer thighs, my knees and inner thighs. I expected the bruising to be gone in three months. It is six months now, and I can still clearly see where the lipo was done. I have bad damage to blood vessels including thread veins where they weren't before, and 'discolouration' to all areas, making it blindingly obvious that I've had something done. I still get stabbing pains in the area around my knees. More fat was taken out of the left inner thighs than the right, which is obvious even in jeans. I have cannula indentations under my buttocks on my right leg, which I do not have on the left, and I have been left with the appearance of worse cellultite than I had before.

I do have a nicer shape in clothes, but once they are off, I lose my confidence. I am a very confident person, and can live with this as it was my choice to pay to have this done, but I have to say that I am glad that I am mentally strong, as I am sure I would have become very depressed.

In short, I would say that this procedure has actually disfigured me, and I can't believe that the surgeons information wasn't very clear about potential problems. They make it very, very believable that the problem you go in with will be rectified, but skim over the ones they can potentially create.

I am less confident about my legs now than when I was before. The shape is better in clothes, but when incovered, it is too obvious that something dramatic has been done to them. Not really the look I was after.

Liposuction can be dangerous in the wrong hands. It requiries great skill from the Surgeon and apart from the cosmetic risks of lumpiness to the final result, there are some health risks associated with too much fat being removed. In worst cases it has been known that Surgeons have punctured the bowel whilst doing liposuction leding to serious complications.

Liposuction is surgery and anyone undergoing liposuction should be aware of the risks before going ahead.
