Liposuction at Dr. Prabhash's Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, New Delhi, Delhi, India.
Best Center for Abdomen or Stomach Liposuction, Thigh & Butt Liposuction, Arm Liposuction, Mons Pubis Liposuction & Lift in Delhi India.
Liposuction means suction ( negative pressure )
assisted removal of fat. Originally Liposuction was developed for removal of fat from abdomen
subcutaneous (beneath skin) plane, now being used almost everywhere in body to take out undesired fat through
remote tiny invisible incisions. We are doing Tumescent Liposuction
with skin stimulation to induce skin tightening in loose skin so that you get both fat
removal skin toning or skin tightening with Liposuction alone. No need to remove skin so no scar. Very
effective in Abdomen & Hips liposuction, Thigh liposuction, Butt Liposuction, Arm Liposuction, Face and Breast Liposuction.
Liposuction is used both for Volume Reduction and
body reshaping. Lipoplasty is similar to Liposuction only that we removed fat differentially from different areas
so that you get your desired shape. Lipo-sculpture i.e. sculpture or reshaping your body through
liposuction involves removal of fat from areas where its excess and using the same fat after processing
for augmentation of areas where bulk is less to provide curves and fullness (Fat
Injection). Overall best Liposuction procedure is
designed to give your body the best possible shape.
For Lipoma removal see Endoscopic & Buttonhole Surgery.
Common areas, Their Description &Liposuction Before After Pictures : :-
Liposuction Can be done anywhere if subcutaneous fat deposition present, most common are belly or abdomen,
buttock, thighs, hips, arm, breast, double chin and face. Abdomen or Stomach or Belly Liposuction with Hips &
Mons Pubis Liposuction excess abdominal fat takes out through liposuction
to reduce girth and to give a beautiful shape & curves.
Fat in females largely centered in subcutaneous plane (beneath
skin) and so easy to take out and gives drastic result,
while in males some fat is there inside abdomen also.
Hips liposuction is done simultaneously with abdomen
liposuction. We start abdominal liposuction just beneath
breasts area continue it up to mons pubis ( vaginal lips
liposuction included in same if needed), and from one
flank to other in one sitting to provide you smooth
uniform fat loss with appropriate curves and shape. Lower Abdomen Liposuction : Fat deposition in both male and females is
very common in lower abdomen below umbilicus. This fat distribution
is determined by hormones and resistant to dieting and exercise.
lower abdomen liposuction removes this fat and gives you flat abdomen.

Saddle Bags & Love Handles Liposuction : Saddle
bags, localized collection of extra fat in flanks &
upper outer side of thigh with a depression between two
(site of firm bony attachment of skin) in
females is very common. This fat is resistant to
exercise also as its guided by hormones. In males, its
at lower border of abdomen along sides, just above the pelvis bone
margin ( also called side tyres or Love handles).

Male belly Liposuction :
In males, fat distribution and quality both differ,
approx 60-70 % of fat lies in subcutaneous plane
(Beneath Skin) while 30-40 % is
inside abdomen in omentum & mesentery, which cant be
taken out through liposuction. External fat removal
in males makes their body light and more presentable
also it increases exercise efficiency so that they can
manage rest of body weight through work out. Overall
result is very pleasing.

Mons pubis Liposuction or lower abdomen or around genitalia (for
rejuvenation of sex organs, sagging vagina or hidden
penis in male ) : done along with liposuction
abdomen or isolated liposuction of mons area to
rejuvenate them and for vaginal or mons lift. improves
personal feelings, makes hygiene maintenance easy as
well external look in fitting clothing's improve. (see
video and associated pictures for example). Sagging Mons
in males hides significant length of Penile shaft and
reduces its effective length. In females, bulky and
saggy Mons pubis gives that area an aged and ugly
look, also it hides clitoris, an area important for
female pleasure while making love, most
importantly, the hygiene. Firmly opposed bulky labia
doesn't allow vagina secretions to pass out & over the
time gets infected leading to foul smell. Reduction of Labia Majora (Vaginal Lips) (Liposculpture of vagina) :-
Fat Removal of labia majora (Outer Vaginal Lips), reduces its bulk,
improves look, sensation, personal aspect of life, (Sexual - as significant
length of male organ is wasted in traversing the fatty component before entering
the actual vaginal canal ) Example picture you may see on vagina surgery page.
Similarly, Fat Grafting or fat injection can be done to provide bulk and youthful
appearance to atrophic and flat looking female vagina.
Six pack Abdomen :- specially designed liposuction with or without tucking
with rectus abdominis muscles can give appearance of six pack abdomen.
but please note there is no substitute of good exercise and that too should
be guided by your need and not by film stars. Liposuction is also combined with
tummy tuck and lower body lift.
Reduction of fat in Mons pubis Liposuction & Vaginal Lips makes it slim,and to unhide clitoris. small
amount of fat is left over bone to act as smooth cushion.

Large Volume (Mega) Liposuction : Large volume
Liposuction or Mega-Liposuction involves removal of more
than 5 % of body weight in one sitting. Depending upon
body weight and fitness for surgery we are doing large
volumes fat removal, but patient safety is always the
most important factor while considering large volume
liposuction or any other cosmetic surgery procedure.
Body contouring
(Liposculpture) involves not only
removal of excess fat from one location through
liposuction but use of removed fat in filling areas
where augmentation is needed.
Fat Removed can used for breast augmentation, thigh and hip reshaping.
Before After Liposuction Body contouring or Reshaping
(skin contraction you may see)
Thigh Liposuction : in Hips ( Waist ) thighs & buttock,
fat is more fibrous and dense, skin thickness is high so
skin contraction after liposuction is better and makes
movement easier as well as aesthetics presentable. In cases of massive fat loss with sagging skin thigh
& buttock lift may be combined with liposuction.Legs ( Calves or Calf ) Liposuction may be added to
give entire lower limb a good shape. Buttock Liposuction Lift :Before After Picture Liposuction Thigh, Buttock &
Abdomen ( Stomach) : Liposuction with good skin
contraction, No skin Removal so no extra scar. In case
of massive volume changes who need multiple surgery for
other areas, residual skin sagging (if any) of previous
area can be corrected by re-stimulation of previous area
while operating new area.
Thigh & Buttock Liposuction Before After Picture
Face (Cheek and Chin) Liposuction :- Facial liposuction commonly used in cheek to reduce puffy appearance and for double chin correction.
Similarly, fat removed from other areas is used as filler for face augmentation in hollow cheeks. ( details on face page).
Breast Liposuction, including male breast (Gyanecomastia) ;
fatty male or female breast is reduced with liposuction a virtually scar less breast reduction
technique. Arm liposuction /
Arm Lift / Brachioplasty : for heavy & bulky arms,
brachioplasty or arm lift may be needed after heavy
weight loss.
Liposuction Techniques : Different Liposuction machines are there -
in all principle is same break the fat and suck the fat. Suction Assisted Lipoplasty
- Best control and time tested, Lowest energy transfer
to overlying skin , least complications or side effect. Power Assisted - Motor driven blade inside canula - theoretically increases speed - practically increases
burn of overlying skin and complication- not in use now.
Ultrasound assisted :- No added advantage, least used now because of incidence of skin burn.
Low frequency vibration assisted : No added advantage,
still in use. Laser Liposuction : Claims to help surgeon in
easily breaking fat cells.
In fact fat cells are very delicate cells and you don't need any extra energy source to break them.
Softest instrument with least energy transfer is safest
and the best. Depending upon Fluid Administration ( Volume infused Vs Volume Removed) Liposuction can be
Dry Liposuction, Wet Liposuction, Super wet liposuction &
Tumescent Liposuction. Fluid (with
medicines) infusion is done make liposuction blood less and easy procedure. Volume to be infused is decided by
anticipated volume to be taken out as well as fluid & electrolyte balance of patient.
Body Reshaping Under Tumescent Local
Anaesthesia : For very small areas and small fat reduction specially for body
reshaping ( small bulges in abdomen, thighs and arms are most common) we are
doing liposculpture under local tumescent anaesthesia. This not only makes
procedure less time consuming and convenient but it also cuts cost. For bigger
areas like routine liposuction for whole abdomen, tumescent anaesthesia should
be supplemented with general anaesthesia. Use of only local tumescent
anaesthesia in big area is not safe. Please mind liposuction under only
tumescent anaesthesia and tumescent liposuction are different things. Skin Sagging after liposuction : A
common problem after massive liposuction was skin sagging or Loose skin due to sudden loss of volume support
similar to that after massive weight loss. We are doing Liposuction along with skin stimulation at the same time to promote its
contraction. Results of Liposuctions with huge amount of fat removal and skin stimulation are very encouraging
and we have almost stopped cutting and removal of saggy skin, as it contracts well over a period of 3- 6 weeks. To some extent, it dependent upon post operative care taken by patient also, regular and correct use of compression garment helps a
lot. Currently we are doing mega liposuctions with skin
stimulation and getting sufficient skin contraction in every case, so no need to remove skin and thus no scar
is added to lower abdomen, unless abdominal muscles are very lax and need tightening.
Liposuction and Liposculpture FAQs:-
1) What the Liposuction procedure means?
Ans:- as suggested by name, suction is used to
remove fat from undesired location. Only fat from
subcutaneous plane ( beneath skin ) is removed.
2) How Much Time I will Have to Spend & How much fat can be taken out in Liposuction?
Ans:- Liposuction procedure takes 1-3 hours depending upon volume to be removed. 2-3
hours absolute rest. you are mobile and accepting light
food after 6 hours and now you may go home. In mega
liposuction- 24 hours stay preferred. You may resume
work light office work after 2-3 days, Heavy work you
should avoid for 7-10 days ( in mega liposuction). Up to 5% of body weight is
Internationally recommended limit. Removal of more than 5% in one session is mega
liposuction . Up to 8-10 % can be usually taken out
but only if patient is otherwise fit and no other
medical problem is there. Usually up
to 6-8 liters is easily taken out. Maximum we have
taken out 13 liters in one sitting (Absolute fat not
fluid mixed) . Patient safety is our
most important concern and patient co-operation is most
important requirement.
3) Which anaesthesia Local or General ?
Ans:- Local anesthesia can be used for a very small area, localized
bumps only. Usually liposuction involves a wide surface
area and so with local anesthesia possibility of drug
over dosage is always there. either risk of drug over
dosage or half hearted work- it has turned to be a world
wide concern now. General anesthesia is much more safer
and short lasting now. We don't use unsafe practice in
the name of newer technique. Only best and time tested
methods will be used.
4) Can Liposuction be used to reduce weight or only
inch loss?
Ans:- most of our body weight is because of body
water and the tissue which contains most of body water is
muscle. Fat is the tissue which contains very less amount
of water. So removal of fat only cant help in weight
reduction.But , for any weight of fat , the volume is very high, so
removal of fat even nominal compared to body weight, gives
a great loss in body volume.
So, liposuction is basically a means of inch loss rather
than weight loss.
5) Will there be any scar mark after Liposuction
Surgery?
Ans:- in liposuction tiny holes ( a few
millimeters only) are made in skin to allow passage of
suction canula. So the scar is always unnoticeable unless
patient is having very strong tendency of hypertrophic
scarring.
6) Length of Liposuction surgery and recovery period
after Liposuction Surgery?
Ans:- length of surgery usually varies between
one to two hours for any given site, but overall time
consumed depends upon amount of fat there.
Patient can walk home same day evening or next morning.
They will have to wear a pressure garment for around one
month to three months for better outcome. Mild bruising is
there which usually resolves in three weeks to six weeks.
7) Is there any chance of regaining fat after
Liposuction?
Ans:- fat regain can occur anytime in your life and
it depends upon your life style. Usually fat re
accumulation after liposuction is less.
8) Any difference between male Liposuction and female
Liposuction?
Ans
:- yes, there is difference in distribution and
quality of fat between male and female. In females, fat
mostly lies in subcutaneous plane and is less fibrous, so
easier to take out. Also it produces more dramatic change
in figure. In males , fat is both in subcutaneous plane as well as
inside abdomen. Also fat is more fibrous. So result of
liposuction, though very useful, is not as dramatic as in
females.
9) what is liposculpture or Liposplasty?
Ans:- Liposculpture is modality to modify subcutaneous fat to
give body a particular shape. It includes both removal of
fat ( where it is excess) and injection of removed fat in
locations where it is desired. So both reduction and
augmentation are used to give body a particular shape.
10) Any rest required ?
yes, Rest for six hours after surgery, its better to take leave from
work for 2-3 days, avoid exertion and heavy work
for a week at least.
11) Can it affect or damage my internal organs or fertility ?
Liposuction has nothing to do with your internal organs or fertility. All
your important organs are located inside abdomen encased in muscular shield
and during liposuction we work only beneath the skin. So, there is no harm
to internal organ including internal genital organs and so nothing to do
with fertility. In fact any abdominal surgery which is not supposed to
handle your internal genital organs like uterus or tube or ovary has nothing
to do with your fertility. This is common misconception in our society which
is further being promoted by unqualified people. Some people use it to sell
their non surgical useless instruments and techniques.
