What Liposuction Can Achieve

Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes

localised fat deposits to improve silhouette and proportion It is

designed for shaping specic areas such as the abdomen anks hips

thighs buttocks upper arms back and under the chin rather than for

overall weight loss or treatment of obesity[17][18][19]Technique and Treated Areas

Modern liposuction typically uses a tumescent technique in which a

solution containing saline local anaesthetic and a small dose of

adrenaline is inltrated into the fat layer through very small

incisions placed in natural creases Thin cannulas attached to vacuum

suction are then passed in multiple directions to break up and

remove fat allowing the surgeon to sculpt smoother transitions and

balanced contours[18][19][17]

Common treatment zones include the central abdomen and anks to

dene the waist outer and inner thighs to reduce saddle bags and

rubbing arms to slim the upper limb and the submental region to

rene the jawline For patients with good skin elasticity the overlying

skin usually contracts to follow the new contour over time[19][17]

Indications Limitations and Safety

Ideal candidates are individuals close to their healthy weight with

diet and exercise resistant fat pockets and good skin quality

Liposuction is not a solution for generalised obesity cellulite or

signicant skin excess which may require additional procedures like

abdominoplasty or body lift When practiced by trained surgeons in

accredited facilities with attention to uid balance and safe volume

limits liposuction has a favourable safety prole and high satisfaction

rates[17][18]

Recovery and Maintenance of Results

Liposuction is commonly performed as day surgery or with one night

stay depending on the number of areas and volume treated

Compression garments are worn for several weeks to support the

tissues and minimise swelling Most patients return to light duties

within three to ve days and gradually resume exercise over two to

four weeks Long term results are best preserved by maintaining

stable weight and an active lifestyle as remaining fat cells can still

enlarge with weight gain[18][17]Why Choose Livasa Hospital for Liposuction in Punjab
