Liposuction
is a process by which fat is permanently removed through a suctioning process.
It is not a substitute for weight loss but, rather, a method of reshaping the
body’s contours.
ABOUT
LIPOSUCTION
As
we advance in life, the body tends to remap the areas where it deposits most of
the excess fatty tissue. The flanks, lower abdomen and thighs become common targets
in women; the abdomen flanks and chest in men. Unfortunately, losing sufficient
weight to clear fullness in these areas commonly leads to excessive volume loss
in the face, giving it a tired
expression. In some people, even at a young age, there are stubborn
fatty tissue deposits, mostly around the thighs, which seem to be genetic.
Liposuction
is the removal of fat from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless
steel tube called a cannula and a powerful vacuum. A procedure chosen by both
men and women, it is not a method of weight reduction. Rather, it is a way to
remove stubborn fatty deposits that remain despite dieting, exercise
or massage.
In
the early days of liposuction, the procedure involved using relatively large
cannulae and was associated with extensive bruising and a higher risk of
irregularities. Today obesity
treatment in Chennai, liposuction uses much finer cannulae that cause
less trauma to the tissues and allow fat to be removed in a much more
controlled manner. These finer cannulae can be used closer to the skin surface
to provide a superior result.
An
earlier approach, call Dry Technique Liposuction is no longer considered safe.
Today, the world-wide standard of care is the Tumescent Technique.
In
tumescent liposuction the area to be treated is injected with a buffered salt
solution before any fat is removed. This solution contains adrenaline to
control bleeding and a long-acting local anaesthetic to minimize discomfort
after the procedure.
