Surgical Procedure To Reshape Your Body
With modern day lifestyle comes several disorders, such as excess body fat or obesity. In the Indian context, where arranged marriages are negotiated majorly on looks and where a significant majority still find their life partners through this route, being overweight adds to the dilemma of finding a suitable partner. The only surgical procedure that can address these concerns and provide a great body shape is Liposuction.
Liposuction Surgical Procedure
Liposuction is the most common aesthetic procedure performed worldwide as well as in India . The popularity of liposuction is on the rise because of many factors, but most importantly because of the peer pressure to look good, increasing lifestyle problems and improved safety and outcomes from the procedure. People have a tendency to accumulate fat because of dietary indiscretion, sedentary lifestyle or a combination of both. Women going through childbirth find themselves in this situation and they have to come to terms with stretch marks as well as loose skin.
Some weight loss may occur through fat removal(liposuction), but that is not the primary aim of this surgery. Liposuction helps contour localized fat and not address loose skin in certain designated fat stores — abdomen, hips and thighs in women (pear shape) and chest and abdomen (apple) in men.
Limited areas of Liposuction is usually done as a day care surgery whereas many areas with expected fat removal of 5 liters or more requires the procedure to be done as a hospital based surgery. This surgery is done under local or general anaesthesia and the person is fully mobile after the procedure. A narrow metal tube is inserted through a small incision in the hidden area. It is attached to a strong vacuum pump which is drawn back and forth within the area of excess fat. The process removes tunnels of fat leaving the small blood vessels and nerves intact. The skin will then retract.
There are some minor variants in the techniques mainly in the use of technology. The “Cosmetic One” centers have all the modern technologies which include VASER (internal ultrasound for the perfectly contoured fat reduction), LASER ( for skin shrinkage along the jawline) and RFAL (only center in India to own this skin tightening device to be used along with liposuction in the arms, thighs and abdomen thus preventing skin removal and scars).
Benefits
A custom made pressure garment/corset (made of Lycra and cotton) is put on immediately after the surgery. The garment is to be worn for 24 hours for a month after surgery. The corset is not to be removed for the first five days. Post-surgery, there might be swelling, bruising and bearable discomfort, which is temporary and should disappear after a few weeks. The patient can return to work in 3-4 days and can start heavy physical activity in four weeks.
