Suction-assisted lipectomy- also known as liposuction, fat
suction, or suction lipectomy-is a technique to remove unwanted
fat deposits from specific areas of the body, including
the chin, neck. and cheeks; the upper arms and above the
breasts; the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs; and the
knees calves, and ankles. Liposuction is not a substitute
for weight reduction, but a method or removing localized
fat that doesn’t respond to dieting and exercise.

The best candidates for liposuction are of relatively
normal weight but have pockets of excess fat in
particular areas. You should be physically healthy,
psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations.
Most important, having firm, elastic skin will result
in a better final contour. (Hanging skin won’t reshape
to your body’s new contours, and may require an
additional procedure to surgically remove the excess
skin.)
Nevertheless, in rare instances, the procedure
may cause severe trauma, particularly when multiple
or very extensive areas are suctioned at one time.
Other infrequent, but possible, complications
include fluid accumulation(which must be drained)
and injury to the skin. Although serious complications
are infrequent, infection or excessive fluid loss
can leas to severe illness.
In your initial consultation, we will evaluate
your health, determine where your fat deposits
lie, and carefully assess your akin tone. Explain
any alternative body-contouring methods that may
be appropriate-such as abdominoplasty, or tummy
tuck-and discuss the options or the combination
of procedures that would be best for you.
Suction-assisted lipectomy usually takes an hour
or two, but the time required may vary To being
the procedure. The procedure can be performed
under local, epidural block (childbirth) or general
anesthesia .We makes a small incision. just large
enough to allow the insertion of a hollow tube
called a cannula. The opposite end of the cannula
is attached to a machine that creates a strong
vacuum. We manipulates the cannula deep within
the fat layers under skin, breaking up the fat
and suctioning it out. Sometimes additional incisions
are needed to remove all areas of fat.
If you’ve had local anesthesia, you’ll feel some
vibration and friction during the procedure. You
may also feel a stinging sensation as the cannula
moves closer to the muscle.
After Your Surgery, a snug elastic dressing, girdle,
or body stocking must be worn over the treated
area ton control swelling and bleeding, and to
help your skin shrink to fit your new shape for
three to four weeks.
Don’t expect to look or feel great right after
surgery. You’ll even be heavier for a while, because
of the extra fluids you’ve been given.
You should be back to work in 2-3 days, or as
much as one week after your surgery.
