Dr Sumit Malhotra is doing Liposuction Surgery in Lucknow for a period of time with good results.It is one of the frequently performed cosmetic procedure. Liposuction is mainly peformed on fat deposits mainly in abdominal wall, flanks, thighs, buttocks, and arms. Double chin, face, breast, axilla, calf. These are mail areas where patients can benefit remarkably.
The most important thing for the permanency of the results is a change in lifestyle so as to have a calorie restricted diet and increased activity so that the number of calories consumed are always less than those consumed. Liposuction is not indicted for weight loss but as all tissues the removed fat has weight too and hence it does cause a significant weight loss in the long run.
Liposuction techniques
- Suction Assisted Lipectomy (SAL) - Its a traditional and time tested method of liposuction. Finer canulas and better techniques have resulted in vastly improved results. SAL is the gold standard in liposuction techniques even now.
- Ultrasound Assisted Lipectomy (UAL) - utilizes ultrasound energy to break the fat cells before suctioning them out. Advantages include decreased effort for the surgeon and probably less amount of blood loss. However, increased chances of fluid collection and skin damage exist.
Liposuction procedure
Most liposuctions at our center are performed under general anesthesia. Liposuction, especially small volume can be performed under I.V sedation and local anesthesia too.
Tumescent and super wet techniques are used depending on the volume of aspirate expected. Tiny access points (2-3 mm) are made in natural creases or within bikini line through which the wetting solution is infiltrated. The fat is then aspirated using a fine canulas and smooth controlled action. The commonly treated areas are - abdomen, hips, thighs, love handles, saddle bags, inner thighs, buttocks, upper and lower back and the arms.
Post surgery
A custom made pressure garment/corset (made of Lycra and cotton) will be
put on immediately after the surgery. The garment is to be worn for a month
after surgery, 24 hours a day. The corset is not to be removed for the first
5 days.Post surgery sequels include swelling, bruising and bearable
discomfort. These are temporary and should disappear over a few weeks.
You can return to work in 3-4 days and can start heavy physical activity in
4 weeks.
Complications are unusual following liposuction. Seroma,
pigmentation, minor irregularities, temporary loss of sensation,
blood clots and skin ulcerations have been reported. Major
complications like fluid overload, embolism and shock are rare
when safety regulations are adhered to.
