Liposuction PDF Print E-mail

With liposuction surgery, both men and women can improve the contours of their bodies through a relatively simple and safe technique. Liposuction surgery involves the removal of fat cells from the body and is designed for those who have specific areas of localized fat deposits and who have tried unsuccessfully to eliminate them through diet, exercise and weight loss.

While liposuction is not designed to correct general obesity, any area where excess fat deposits have accumulated can be treated. These include the chin, neck, jowls, cheeks, arms, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, hips and abdomen. Men with enlarged breasts can also benefit from liposuction.

Prior to liposuction surgery, a complete medical history is taken in order to evaluate the general health of the patient. Liposuction is almost always performed under local anesthesia.

The "tumescent" liposuction procedure is used where a large amount of diluted local anesthetic is injected into the area. Tumescent liposuction has the advantage of reducing pain and bruising in the area. Masha would make a small incision in the skin and insert a micro cannula attached to a vacuum suction to start liposuction. The liquified fat is then removed by liposuction from the body. After the incisions are closed, a compressive dressing or bandage is applied to the area to prevent bleeding, reduce swelling and support the affected area.

A compression garment is worn for about one week following liposuction. Pain is minimal to moderate and is controlled with oral medication. Antibiotics are prescribed to prevent infection after liposuction. Most patients are completely ambulatory immediately following liposuction surgery but rest is recommended for the initial post-liposuction period. Patients are usually able to return to normal activities within few days after the procedure, although vigorous physical activity is discouraged immediately following liposuction.
