About
Liposuction
Having a taut and toned body is what everybody dreams of. But sometimes, even heavy exercising and dieting do not help in getting rid of those stubborn fat rolls which are there to stay. This may affect the self esteem and confidence of the person as this stubborn fat makes an individual look unhealthy as well as unattractive.
Dr Santosh Bhatia of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic provides a safe and effective solution to have a perfectly contoured and toned body through Liposuction.
What Is
Liposuction?
Liposuction is a safe and effective method to achieve a toned and contoured body by getting rid of the excessive fat from localized areas like buttocks, thighs, flanks, abdominal area, chest and even face. It is a surgical process which counters the excessive fat that has been accumulated in the body and refuses to settle even with vigorous exercising or dieting.
The process literally involves ‘sucking’ out of fat from the problem areas through specialized medical equipment called Cannulas.
What Are The
Different Methods For Liposuction?
At Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Liposuction is performed using one of the following ways:
Suction Assisted Liposuction (SAL)
Suction assisted liposuction makes use of a strongly powered, high pressure vacuum which is attached to the cannula. This cannula is a hollow tube which is inserted under the skin into the targeted area. The excessive fat in that particular area is broken down and then sucked out.
Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
Ultrasound assisted liposuction involves the insertion of a metal rod into the targeted areas. This metal rod emits ultrasonic energy which is useful for melting down the fat and thus making the fat removal easier.
Tumescent Liposuction
A sterile solution is injected at the target site that causes swelling and the blood vessels become narrow. This sterile solution is made up of salt water, an unaesthetic and a drug. The drug helps to narrow down the blood vessels, the salt water helps in fat removal, and the anesthetic helps in alleviating the pain. The swelling of the targeted area and the constriction of the blood vessels thus make it easier to remove the fat through the cannula.
Laser Assisted Liposuction (LAL)
Laser assisted liposuction makes use of high powered laser fiber which is inserted at the targeted area. This laser helps to liquefy the fat which is then extracted through a cannula.
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Power assisted liposuction makes use of a vibrating cannula which is inserted into the targeted area. This vibrating motion allows the fat to be extracted more easily.
VASER Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction is a novel way of extracting fat from multiple areas of the body through a specialized ultrasonic cannula. At the same time, it also helps in providing a contour to the underlying areas.
Understanding the patient’s body type along with their needs and desires is absolutely important while choosing the correct form of liposuction technique. Hence, Dr Santosh Bhatia prioritizes one-on-one consultation over everything.
Who Is
An Ideal Candidate For A Liposuction?
The criteria for an ideal candidate has been provided by Dr Santosh Bhatia:
- You are above 18 years of age
- You are a non-smoker, or ready to quit smoking for the period prescribed by Dr Santosh Bhatia
- You are physically healthy.
- You are unhappy with the appearance of the flabs and fat on the body.
It is important to note that liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss or obesity. It is necessary to reach close enough to your ideal body weight at least 8 to 10 months before the surgery. Liposuction takes care of the excess fat that refuses to budge even after trying the conventional ways of dieting and exercising.
If you fit into the above list, you are an ideal candidate for a liposuction.

How Is A
Liposuction Performed At Vanity Cosmetic Clinic?
- Liposuction is generally performed under general anesthesia along with intravenous sedation. In case of liposuction over a smaller region, local anesthesia is administered. This ensures that the patient does not feel any discomfort or pain during the process.
- The excess fat cells to be extracted are then loosened from their current place, and then extracted through the cannula depending upon the type of the method used.
- The suctioning out of fat needs to be done with utmost care so that there is no damage to the underlying tissue.
- Post extraction of fat, excess skin if any is excised and the small incision is closed.
Liposuction is also sometimes carried along with other procedures like tummy tuck, gynecomastia, body lift, etc. in order to accentuate the results even more.
How Is
Recovery Like After A Liposuction?
Compression garments have to be mandatorily worn in order to maintain the newly formed body contour. Sometimes, drains might be placed at those sites in order to remove the fluid which might get accumulated.
Medicines might be prescribed by the doctor in order to alleviate the pain which generally accompanies the procedure. These must be taken as prescribed by the doctor in order to have a comfortable recovery.
It takes about a week for the patient to resume the daily activities. However, vigorous exercise must be avoided for at least 4 weeks after the procedure.
