What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove fat from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, calves, ankles, chest, back, hips, thighs, chin, and neck. It can also reduce excess breast tissue in men, a condition known as gynecomastia. By removing fat cells from targeted areas, liposuction can permanently alter the shape of the body, as long as your weight remains stable. After surgery, the skin adapts to the new contours, becoming smooth if it is elastic, but potentially loose if it is thin. It’s important to note that liposuction does not treat cellulite or stretch marks, and it requires the patient to be in good overall health for the best results

Neck, Chin, and Face

Liposuction on the neck, chin, and face removes excess fat, eliminates a double chin, sculpts the jawline, and enhances facial definition

Knees and Ankles

Liposuction on the knees and ankles helps contour the lower legs by removing stubborn fat deposits, enhancing definition, and improving overall leg shape

Types

Tumescent Liposuction

This is the most commonly performed liposuction procedure. It involves injecting a saline solution mixed with medications such as epinephrine into the targeted fatty areas. This solution helps to reduce bleeding and facilitate easier fat removal.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)

UAL uses ultrasonic energy delivered through a metal rod to liquefy fat cells before suctioning them out. A specific form of UAL, called Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER), is used to target and break down fat more efficiently.

Suction-Assisted Liposuction

The traditional method of liposuction, where a vacuum suction device is used to remove fat after making small incisions in the skin.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

This technique uses a vibrating cannula to break up fat cells, making the fat easier to remove. PAL can also minimize trauma to surrounding tissues, which can help speed up recovery time

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Laser energy is used to liquefy fat cells, which are then removed through a small incision. This procedure can also help tighten the skin, offering both fat removal and skin rejuvenation benefits.

Causes

Contour Irregularities

Uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity, and scarring can lead to bumpy, wavy, or sagging skin, which may become permanent.

Fluid Buildup

Temporary fluid pockets (seromas) can form under the skin and may require drainage through a needle.

Numbness

Treated areas may experience temporary or, in some cases, permanent numbness or nerve irritation.

Infection

Although rare, infections can occur at the site of the procedure and can sometimes become severe or life-threatening.

Internal Puncture

The liposuction tube, if not handled carefully, can puncture an internal organ, requiring emergency surgery.
