Liposuction is the suction-based removal of extra body fat during surgery. The operation is often performed by a plastic surgeon.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE

• This procedure makes use of a liposuction machine and specialised tools called cannulas.
• Your body's treatment areas are prepared by the surgical team.
• Either local or general anaesthetic will be administered to you.
• The tumescent fluid is injected beneath your skin in the targeted places through a tiny skin incision.
• Dislodged fat is swept away through the suction tube after the medication in the solution has had time to work. A big syringe or a vacuum pump performs the suction action.
• To treat large areas, several skin punctures may be required. To achieve the optimum contour, the surgeon may approach the areas that need to be treated from several angles.
• Small drainage tubes may be put into the defatted areas after the fat is removed to drain any blood or fluid that develops in the first few days following surgery.
• You could require fluid replacement if you lose a lot of fluid or blood during the procedure (intravenously). An extremely unusual circumstance may require a blood transfusion.
• You'll be given a compression garment to wear. As directed by your surgeon, wear it.

The Purpose of the Procedure

Here are a few applications for liposuction:

• "Love handles," fat bulges, or an irregular chin line are examples of cosmetic factors.
• to enhance sexual performance by removing aberrant fat deposits from the inner thighs, making the vagina more accessible.
• For those who are disturbed by fatty bulges or abnormalities that cannot be eliminated with diet and/or exercise, body contouring.

Liposuction is not used: 

• To treat obesity in general or as a replacement for exercise and a healthy diet. But at various times, it might be employed to eliminate fat from discrete locations.
• as a remedy for extra skin or cellulite, which is the uneven, dimpled appearance of skin across the hips, thighs, and buttocks.

• Because the breast is a frequent location for cancer, in some parts of the body, such as the fat on the sides of the breasts.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), the excision of fatty tumours (lipomas), breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty), or a combination of plastic surgery techniques are just a few of the many alternatives to liposuction. These can be discussed with your doctor.
