About the Surgery

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring

Also known as lipoplasty, liposculpture and body contouring, liposuction is a surgical procedure, that uses a suction technique to remove fat from and shape specific areas of the body, such as hips, thighs, abdomen, arms or neck. It is more of a cosmetic surgery than a weight-loss treatment.

Treatment options for Liposuction are:

To be eligible for liposuction, you should have an overall good health, should not smoke regularly or use drugs, and should have firm, toned muscles with a good amount of skin elasticity.

Chin and neck, breasts, abdomen and flanks, knees, thighs, back and arms.

Generally, liposuction is not covered under insurance as it’s a cosmetic procedure. However, some parts of the treatment may be covered under insurance when there are therapeutic benefits of the surgery.

Liposuction is done to remove stubborn fat from unwanted areas of the body. It focuses on improving body shape. Tummy tuck removes tummy fat and also reconstructs the abdomen muscles to help you get rid of saggy, loose skin present in the abdomen.

It takes around 2-3 months for the final results of liposuction to appear.

It can last for 5-10 years as the patient follows doctor’s advice. The results can be more long-lasting if you carry out necessary exercises and maintain a proper diet.

It is possible to get liposuction done more than once. However, the results are most noticeable after the first liposuction surgery.

Liposuction is performed by a plastic surgeon who has cosmetic interests.
