Achieve a More Defined Body Contour with Liposuction in Bangalore

Types of Liposuction Techniques Available in Bangalore

• Tumescent Lipo - A large volume of tumescent solution (fluid) consisting of lidocaine (local anesthetic) and epinephrine (blood vessel constrictor) is injected into the fatty tissue. This provides easier and less body suction.
• Ultrasound-assisted Lipo - Ultrasonic vibrations are used to create high energy to dissolve fat. Additionally, it provides increased skin tightening and less trauma in the nearby areas.
• Laser-assisted liposuction - It uses laser energy to liquefy localized fat cells. It reduces discomfort by reducing the amount of swelling, bruising, and bleeding. In addition, it provides fast recovery, reduced trauma, and effective skin tightening.

Benefits of Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction surgery is primarily a body contouring procedure. It should not be taken as a substitute for weight loss. Individuals have cited the following benefits after receiving liposuction at our clinic in Bangalore - 

• Removes Stubborn Fat - Reduces fat that does not budge with diet and exercise. Common areas where liposuction has delivered results are arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, back, chin, etc. However, the individual is advised to maintain a stable body weight for long-lasting results.
• Enhances Body Contours - Creates a more sculpted look by giving a defined and proportionate appearance. The extent of contouring depends on the skin elasticity, amount and distribution of fat, body shape, and the surgical technique used.
• Provides long-lasting results - Fat cells removed through lipo never grow back. However, the remaining fat cells may still grow and add to your existing weight.
• Targets Multiple Areas- Contouring multiple areas can give a more balanced and proportionate look. However, the number of areas that can be safely treated at once depends on the medical condition, treatment duration, and the amount of fat removed, etc. 
• Small Incisions - The size of the incision is small, only to insert the cannula. This leaves a very small scar. However, the scar may depend on the skin type, healing ability, surgical technique, and incision placement.
• Complements Other Procedures -  In some patients, liposuction may be combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck to achieve overall body contouring.

Liposuction Aftercare in Bangalore: Essential Tips for a Safe Recovery

Liposuction aftercare involves wearing the compression garment, gentle walking and exercise, keeping the incisions clean, and taking the prescribed medicines religiously. The guide below explains these points in detail - 

• Compression Garment - The compression garment is to be worn exactly as instructed by the surgeon. It is to be worn for several weeks to control swelling and support healing.
• Gentle exercise - Gentle walking is recommended to keep the blood circulating. However, heavy lifting is to be avoided until the surgeon says so. Gentle exercise may begin after 3-4 weeks, while strenuous exercise may take longer to begin.
• Hygiene - Wounds and incisions are to be kept clean. For this, the instructions of the surgeon are to be meticulously followed. No bath or swimming is to be done until the wounds have healed. 
• Medications - Prescribed medicines and antibiotics have to be taken as recommended. Do not take medicines other than those prescribed unless approved by the surgeon.

• Massage or Lymphatic treatments - these should not be started unless approved by the surgeon.

Is Liposuction Safe in Bangalore? Risks, Complications and What to Know Before Surgery

Liposuction is safe when performed by a qualified surgeon on a suitable patient in an accredited, properly equipped facility. However, like any surgery, it also carries risks. These risks may be any one of the following

• Pain or Soreness- Inserting the cannula causes controlled trauma under the skin. Pain may feel like burning, soreness, tenderness, or severe ache. Movement or coughing makes it worse.
• Swelling and Bruising - Inflammatory cells and fluids are sent to the treated area to respond to the surgical trauma. Thus, the particular area may look bigger than before, but that doesn't mean that the procedure failed.
• Numbness - nerves and underlying tissues are irritated or temporarily disrupted during cannula insertion and movement. Patients might experience “pins and needles”, burning pain, or an unusual sensation when the clothing touches the skin.
• Seroma ( Fluid Accumulation) - seromas develop under the skin after the surgery. The patient may feel a localized bulge, a soft or squishy feeling, one area becoming more swollen than the rest, or a sensation that something might be moving under the skin.
• Unevenness - Uneven swelling and fluid distribution may be temporary. One side may appear more swollen, bruised, firmer, larger, or more irregular than the other.

Potential Complications after Liposuction: A Guide for Patients in Bangalore

After liposuction, patients may experience certain complications like infection, bleeding, blood clots, anesthesia-related complications, fluid shifts, or others. These complications, even though less common,  may require urgent medical help in some cases. 

• Infection - Increased redness or swelling, pain getting worse, pus or foul smell from the treated area, fever and chills can indicate infection. 
• Significant Bleeding - Rapidly increasing swelling, extensive bruising, firmness in one area, one side becoming larger than the other. If the patient witnesses these signs, it might indicate an urgent complication.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis(DVT)  - It is a blood clot that develops in a deep vein.  Swelling in one leg, red or purple discolouration of the skin, warmth, and pain or tenderness in the calf are some of the signs of DVT.
• Pulmonary Embolism (PE) - A part of the DVT can break away and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs. Sudden shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, coughing up blood, chest pain, etc. are some of the warning signs associated with PE.
• Persistent Skin Sensation Changes - an unusual electric sensation, burning, tingling, or numbness, reduced sensitivity to touch may be alarming bells that the patient requires clinical consultation.
