Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that is used to remove stubborn pockets of fat in different areas of the body. Contrary to popular belief, liposuction is not a method of weight loss. Instead, it is a contouring procedure, used to improve the proportions of the body.
Definition:
It is a surgical procedure where excess fat pockets of the body are sucked out with the help of a metal cannula attached to a suction device through a small incision.

Definition
It is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring.
Liposuction isn’t typically considered an overall weight-loss method or a weight-loss alternative. Remember the fat is lighter than water. In liposuction we remove the lightest component of the body tissues. If you’re overweight, you’re likely to lose more weight through diet and exercise or through bariatric procedures — such as gastric banding or gastric bypass surgery — than you would with liposuction.
The procedure does not remove cellulite, dimples, or stretch marks. The aim is aesthetic contouring of the body tissues. It suits those who wish to change and enhance the contour of their body.
Liposuction permanently removes a certain percentage of fat cells of the treated area, altering the shape of the body. However, if the patient does not lead a healthy lifestyle after the operation, there is a risk that the remaining fat cells will grow bigger, and the bulkiness of the treated area will reappear.
Liposuction works best for people with good skin tone and elasticity, where the skin moulds itself into new contours.
People whose skin lacks elasticity may end up with loose-looking skin in areas where the procedure was done.
Ideal Candidate for Liposuction
Because liposuction is not a weight loss method, the ideal candidate for liposuction is in relatively good shape and around their ideal body weight. Even despite regular exercise, candidates for liposuction can experience stubborn pockets that won’t budge. If you are looking to maintain soft, even curves after liposuction, visit Dr. Amey Pednekar for one of the best Goa can offer you.
In addition to the above, liposuction candidates should have good skin elasticity, which will allow it to conform to the new, slimmer contours. If this is not the case, liposuction will not only produce zero improvement, but it will also make you look worse, as the fat underneath the skin is what’s holding the skin tight. When the fat is removed, semi-loose skin will become very loose skin. This is a condition very common to moms and anyone who has undergone significant weight loss.
Candidacy for liposuction is best discovered in a live consultation, at which time Dr. Amey can examine your trouble areas and determine which cosmetic treatment is most suitable. Additionally, Dr. Amey will examine the quality of your skin to determine its elasticity. In this way, he will ensure you won’t be left with contour irregularities following liposuction.

Benefits
Liposuction is normally done for cosmetic purposes, but it is sometimes used to treat certain conditions.
These include:
- Gynecomastia: fat accumulation under a male breasts.
- Lipodystrophy syndrome: Fat accumulates in one part of the body and is lost in another. Liposuction can improve the patient’s appearance by providing a more natural looking body fat distribution.
- Lipomas: These are benign, fatty tumors
Liposuction in Mommy Makeover :
Mothers, after having children, almost always have some degree of looseness to their skin, making them poor candidates for liposuction.
All too often, people try to “get away with” liposuction in lieu of excisional surgery such as a tummy tuck post pregnancy. In many cases, they are only left disappointed down the line when not only do they not look better, they look worse than they ever did. Common problems are loose skin and indentations and deformities known as contour irregularities.
Results
After liposuction, swelling typically subsides within a few weeks. It is important to be wearing the prescribed pressure garment during this period to ensure maximum benefits from the surgery and decrease the charges of hematoma formation. In a matter of 4 weeks, the treated area should look less bulky. Within several months, expect the treated area to have a leaner appearance.
