What are the types of Liposuction?

Traditional liposuction: Also called suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), this is the most common type of liposuction. The surgeon inserts a small, hollow tube called a cannula through a tiny incision in your skin and breaks up the fat cells with gentle back-and-forth movements. The fat is then suctioned out through the cannula. This is done by initially injecting tumescent which is a special fluid that helps dissolve the fat and also reduces bleeding during the procedure. The liquefied fat is then sucked out completely.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL): Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is a new and innovative liposuction technique that uses sound waves (ultrasonic waves) to break up fatty tissue cells. The liquefied fat is sucked away by suction. This procedure works best on fibrous areas like the back or male breast. Expert liposuction surgeon Dr. Anjali Saple uses the VIBROFIT for power-assisted liposuction. The VIBROFIT is a vibratory liposuction device that uses a high-performance motor along with liposuction cannulas. It provides greater comfort and efficiency during the removal of fat than traditional liposuction. The vibrations of the cannula that is connected to the VIBROFIT motor allow for easy penetration into the adipose tissue, giving the surgeon a better way to “sculpt” the body.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL): PAL is a form of body contouring surgery that uses specialized cannulas with an efficient system to move back and forth. It allows the surgeon to access fat more easily than traditional methods, which results in smaller incisions while still achieving great looks! It also reduces the surgeon’s effort while performing the procedure.
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL): LAL is a less invasive alternative to traditional lipo for removing unwanted fat using the power of laser therapy and heat; it requires injection with tumescent fluid beforehand.

How is Liposuction performed?

Step 1: Dr. Anjali will use a local anesthetic or general anesthesia depending on what’s best for you.
Step 2: Fat cells are loosened using tumescent injection using multiple tiny cuts which are made in locations where they will not be very obvious. The loosened fat cells are then removed using a small tube also known as a cannula which is connected to a suction machine at the other end. The type of liposuction surgery determines the size of the cannulas that are used. Fat is extracted carefully so as not to harm the underlying tissue and overlying skin.
Step 3: After the fat has been extracted, the tiny incisions are closed. These incisions usually heal well and the scars fade off over time.
Step 4: After the liposuction procedure the patient is made to wear a compression garment which helps reduce the pain and swelling faster.

What are the benefits of Liposuction?

The following are some of the benefits of liposuction:

Liposuction is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted fat from your body. There are many people who have been unsuccessfully trying to lose weight by punishing exercise routines, extreme diets and harmful pills. These methods work to an extent, but in many instances fail to give the desired results and instead make the person look old and tired by reducing fat from areas like the cheeks and neck, while the stubborn fat around the belly and thighs refuses to go. Liposuction is the only way one can get rid of unwanted fat in some areas leaving other areas untouched thus getting a beautifully contoured body with a perfect shape.
Liposuction can reduce the appearance of cellulite, giving you a more toned appearance.
Fat loss achieved through liposuction can improve your physical health in multiple ways. It can make you more confident and also help you perform physical exercise which was earlier hampered by the fat folds and hanging skin. It also reduces insulin requirement in diabetics.
Having excess fat can be very damaging to your self-esteem. Liposuction can help you feel better about yourself overall and motivate you further to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

What are the risks and complications associated with Liposuction?

Liposuction is generally a safe and effective cosmetic procedure, however, there are certain risks associated with it. Some possible risks of liposuction include chances of infection, anesthesia risks, seroma, and hematoma. If any complications do occur, Board-Certified Plastic surgeon Dr. Anjali will treat them safely and effectively.

Large volume liposuction is a major procedure which may be fraught with some risks like a drop in the haemoglobin levels and these patients need to be kept in the hospital for a day or two till they are strong enough to be discharged. Many a time this procedure is performed by unqualified and unskilled personnel in unindicated conditions. That is when fatal complications may occur. Hence this procedure is best done by an expert plastic surgeon in a well-equipped hospital setup where any complication can be easily and promptly managed.

Dr. Anjali takes great care to minimize the risks associated with the liposuction procedure.
