Liposuction is a process by which fat is permanently removed through a suctioning process.
Liposuction is a process by which fat is permanently removed through a suctioning process. It is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather a method of reshaping the body’s contours.
Liposuction has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries over the years. Dr. A. Sivakumar of Desire Aesthetics, has over 15 years of experience in plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in Chennai. He is one of the most renowned cosmetic surgeons in the country, specialising in Rhinoplasty (Nose jobs), breast procedures (augmentation and reduction) and tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), liposuction and reconstruction after trauma and cancer resections. Hear him take us through the procedure of Liposuction.
“As we advance in life, the body tends to remap the areas where it deposits most of the excess fat tissue. The flanks, lower abdomen and thighs become common targets in women; the abdomen, flanks and chest in men. Unfortunately losing sufficient weight to clear fullness in these areas commonly leads to excessive volume loss in the face, giving it a tired expression. In some people, even at a young age, there are stubborn fat tissue deposits, mostly around the thighs, which seem to be genetic,” says Dr. Sivakumar.
CONSULTATION
During your consultation your surgeon will ask about your general health, any conditions that might interfere with liposuction, your goals for the surgery and the specific areas where you want fat removed. It is important that you discuss your goals fully with your surgeon so he can advise you as to whether the results will meet your expectations. If you have loose skin and/or dimpling (cellulite) you are probably not an ideal candidate for liposuction. Indeed, liposuction could make these conditions worse. In these situations, abdominoplasty, thigh lift or body lift may be a better procedure for you.
