Are diet & exercise not helping to achieve the body goals or fitness goals? 

Getting rid of stubborn fat, especially diet, and exercise-resistant fat can be a daunting task for many. Enhancing one's aesthetic quotient has become a principal concern for many individuals. Factors like aging, pregnancy, weight gain, genetics, and medications can result in a stubborn fat deposition that all seem nearly impossible to reduce or eliminate with exercise and a healthy diet.

To get rid of body fat and get in shape sometimes surgical procedures such as liposuction can be very helpful. Liposuction can be really effective for all such people by helping them shed stubborn fat deposits from the body. The liposuction treatment provided by Dr. Parag Telang is designed strategically to remove the fat from various body areas, leaving targeted areas with a more aesthetic appearance and improved contours. He is one of the most preferred liposuction surgeon in Dubai.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction or better known as 'liposculpture' is a cosmetic fat removal procedure. It is the most commonly performed plastic surgery all over the world. Through the safe removal of undesired pockets of fat from the body, liposuction is an excellent body sculpting process. But one must not confuse it with a weight loss mechanism.

Why is it done and what areas it treats?

When we gain weight, the fat cells increase in size and volume. At times, one is unable to remove extra fat from the body by way of several measures. This is when liposuction helps. It reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area, including:

• Abdomen

• Hips

• Back

• Chest

• Thighs

• Arms

• Calves

• Neck

• Ankles

• Waist

Popular Techniques of Liposuction

1. Tumescent Liposuction

In this method, a solution containing numbing agents and medicines that decrease blood loss is infused into the patient's body. A thin tube called a cannula connected to a vacuum is inserted which sucks fat and fluid from the body. The usage of the solution makes this procedure safer and less painful.

2. Ultrasonic-assisted Liposuction or Vaser Liposelection

UAL is the latest technique that uses sound energy to melt the fat into liquid before it is sucked out. The surgery is performed by emulsification of fat cells through ultrasound. Then further broken with the help of a Liposelection probe. It makes the liposuction process gentler on the body. It aids in precision and faster recovery.

Who is the right patient for Liposuction?

1. People with stable weight

2. People with unwanted fat in specific body parts

3. People with good skin elasticity and tone

4. Individuals above 18 years of age

5. Women who are not pregnant

6. An individual who possesses overall good health.

Patients who want to achieve the following results can also opt for liposuction surgery:

1. It can be used to perform high-definition contouring to give 6-pack abs

2. It is used routinely to do gynecomastia correction

3. It is used to remove love handles or other areas where there is stubborn fat.

Benefits of Liposuction

1. Safe procedure

2. Removal of unwanted fat and body sculpting

3. Improved body shape and body image

4. Long-lasting results if a healthy lifestyle is followed

Also, in liposuction, one should not worry about the scars as it is a minimally invasive procedure. The punctures are hardly 2mm, so there are no visible scars left behind.

Difference between liposuction and tummy tuck surgery

Many people get confused between the two procedures. Some of the main differences are as below:

1. Liposuction is a procedure for individuals who are not grossly overweight and wish to remove extra fat pockets whereas tummy tuck is a procedure done after childbirth or after completing the weight loss process to eliminate excess skin as well.

2. Liposuction is for people who have very good skin tone whereas tummy tuck is for people who lost their skin tone.

3. The recovery time for liposuction is 5-6 days whereas, for a tummy tuck, it is 8-10 days.

Pre-procedure care one should follow

1. Consultation is the first and most important step that precedes any surgical procedure.

2. The surgeon enquires about the patient's medical history and any medications, supplements or herbs that one is currently taking.

3. One may be advised to stop taking certain medicines such as blood thinners, at least two weeks prior to the surgery.

4. One must also refrain from the consumption of tobacco and alcohol three weeks prior to the surgery.

5. Tobacco dries out the skin and alcohol increases the risk of bleeding both before and during the surgery. Both issues result in poor healing.

What is the procedure of liposuction surgery?

1. For carrying out the liposuction treatment, general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia is administered.

2. The heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen level is monitored throughout the procedure.

3. Tiny incisions are made in the concealed areas of the body to gain access to areas requiring fat removal.

4. The procedure of liposuction involves the use of a tube and vacuum instruments for fat removal.

Post-procedure care one should follow

1. There might be minor bruising or tenderness on the treated areas for a period of one week to ten days.

2. After the operation, the patient is asked to wear a special bodysuit known as a compression garment.

3. Do not scratch or add stress to the treated area.

4. Drink water to keep the body hydrated.

5. Take pain medications and antibiotics as prescribed.

6. Take proper rest and sleep in the proper sleep positions

7. Take care of the site of the incision and if pus formation takes place, immediately contact the surgeon.

8. Stop smoking and alcohol consumption for a few weeks after treatment.

9. Do not consume blood-thinning medications for a few weeks after treatment.

10. A patient can continue going to work and do minimal exercise after 7-10 days of the surgery.

What is the downtime of a liposuction procedure?

Generally, people need at least one week to resume their routine work. If the areas treated are more, then a patient might need a couple of weeks to rest and recover before he/she can resume their daily routine work.

One must note that it's not just another plastic surgery procedure as it requires an artistic eye and skilled hands to be able to sculpt the body just the way one desire. Feel free to contact Dr. Telang, a plastic and cosmetic surgeon in Dubai for any further queries.
