About this Procedure
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure to remove unwanted body fat. The NHS explains that it involves suctioning out small areas of fat that are hard to lose through exercise and a healthy diet, from areas where fat tends to collect, such as the bottom, hips, thighs and tummy. The aim is to change body shape, and results are generally long-lasting if you maintain a healthy weight.
Liposuction works best for people who are not overweight and whose skin is firm and elastic. It is not a treatment for obesity and will not remove cellulite or stretch marks. It is mainly suitable for people who have tried changing their lifestyle without success. Liposuction is also used to treat some medical conditions, such as lipoedema, an abnormal build-up of fat in the legs.
Liposuction is usually carried out under general anaesthetic, although an epidural may be used for lower parts of the body. The area is injected with a solution to reduce bleeding and bruising, the fat is loosened, and a suction tube is moved through small cuts to remove it. According to the NHS, it usually takes 1 to 3 hours and most people stay in hospital overnight. You wear a support garment for several weeks, can usually do gentle exercise at around 3 to 4 weeks, and the area can take up to 6 months to settle.
At Medwell, liposuction is arranged at Paras Health, Gurugram, a partner hospital in Delhi NCR. Your plastic surgeon assesses the areas you want treated and confirms whether liposuction is suitable.
