Working out, dieting, fasting, and all the other techniques and activities individuals participate in to lose weight are great, and probably highly recommended. However, they are not always the most suitable options in some cases.
That is why Laser liposuction surgery is becoming more popular in India and around the world. This procedure can easily help you get rid of the stubborn fats on different parts of your body, giving you the curves and shape of your dreams.
Understanding Liposuction
Liposuction is most commonly performed on areas such as the hips, abdomen, arms, buttocks, thighs, and chin. It targets a specific area to remove pockets of fats that are unresponsive to other weight loss methods.
The procedure starts with anesthesia administration to make the process painless and comfortable for the patient. The surgeon then makes small incisions on target areas, injects a tumescent solution to numb the area, reduce blood loss, and facilitate the fat removal process.
Fat removal then follows, where the surgeon uses a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to break up and suction out the excess fat and remove the fat from the body using a vacuum or syringe-like device.
The surgeon contours and sculpts the treated area to achieve the desired shape and ensure to provide a more aesthetically pleasing result before closing the incisions with sutures.
How Risky is Liposuction Surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, liposuction carries some risks and potential complications. It is therefore important to consult and work with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Debraj Shome, to discuss your specific goals and determine whether liposuction is a suitable option for you.
Some of the risks of complications associated with the procedure include:
Infections – The risk of infection is rare but can occur with procedures that involve surgery. To minimize this risk, proper surgical techniques, a sterile environment, and post-operative care are crucial.
Bleeding – Bleeding is a common risk during surgery. It may occur during or after the procedure and is easily manageable by a skilled and experienced practitioner. However, if there is excessive bleeding, additional medical intervention may be required.
Nerve damage – Some patients experience numbness in the treated areas, which in most cases is temporary and quickly subsides. Nerve damage is rare but can also occur leading to muscle weakness and altered sensations.
Skin irregularities – Some patients, especially those with poor skin elasticity have a risk of skin irregularities, where the skin appears loose, dimpled, or wavy, after the liposuction procedure.
Scarring – Another common risk in liposuction surgery is the risk of scarring. During the procedure, the surgeon makes very well-placed small incisions to minimize scarring as much as possible. However, there still may be visible scars right after the surgery, which tend to fade over time.
Allergic reactions – Patients with allergies may experience allergic reactions to anesthesia and other medication or materials used during the procedure. Discuss with your surgeon about your allergies prior to the surgery to avoid this risk.
Uneven results – Although this is rare, especially if you are working with a reputable facility like The Esthetic Clinics and skilled surgeons, getting uneven results is still a risk, and may require additional procedures to correct.
