Liposuction

Liposuction, also known commonly as Lipo is a cosmetic treatment used to remove unwanted fat from the body. The process involves a surgical hoover that sucks out fat that is difficult to lose through exercise or dieting. Most common areas for lipo are the tummy, hips, thighs and buttocks. The results of this treatment are long lasting, providing the patient keeps a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle.

What Is The Aim Of Liposuction?

The aim of liposuction treatment is to alter body shape. A liposuction procedure usually lasts up to three hours depending on the amount of fat that needs removing. General anaesthetic is administered to the patient. The fat cells are then broken up using a variety of methods. This makes them easier to remove with the surgical suction technique. A small incision is made for the suction tube to be inserted. Then the tube is moved backwards and forwards to help break up the fat and remove it. Also excess blood and fluid is removed before stitching the incision up.

After Liposuction Procedure

After liposuction the aim is to reduce swelling and bruising. This means elasticated support clothing or compression bandages need to be used for several weeks post treatment. Painkillers and antibiotics may be prescribed by your surgeon to ease pain and prevent infection. Recovery times depend on the extent of fat removed. If only a small area was treated you can usually resume work after a few days. If a large area was treated you would need 1-2 weeks to recover fully. This is also due to more incisions being made.

Other Types Of Liposuction

Some other popular areas for treatment include calf liposuction, chin liposuction, inner thigh liposuction and knee liposuction. All these areas are stubborn when it comes to losing fat. Exercise and dieting sometimes just doesn’t shift this excess fat. This is when liposuction can be used to contour the body and make you feel great again.
