Liposuction surgery is a trendy plastic cosmetic surgery procedure not only in India but worldwide, and the liposuction market is expected to grow at 6.8% CAGR from 2022 to 2032 and a market value of around US$ 9.1 Bn as of 2032. Every year, thousands of patients from around the globe visit India, especially the tech hub Bangalore, to undergo liposuction because of the quality treatment, affordable cost, and unmatched results.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a board-certified plastic surgeon and head of Kaesthetics, Bangalore, recently got elected as 2nd Assistant National Secretary of India for ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), has noted that liposuction is an effective form of cosmetic fat reduction procedure that weighs popularity due to the involvement of cutting-edge technology, permanent fat removal approach, and body contouring benefits. Moreover, liposuction also helps improve several medical issues that may occur due to being overweight, such as lipodystrophy syndrome, a fat metabolism disturbance in which there is excessive fat in certain parts of the body but not much fat in other parts of the body. Other concerns treated with liposuction are benign fatty tumours (Lipomas). In addition, liposuction surgery helps reduce the risks of heart attack, high blood pressure, strokes, and obesity.

What can a Liposuction do and do not?

  1. Liposuction can do the following improvement in our body, including the medical benefits:
  2. Liposuction permanently removes stubborn fat below the skin from localized areas of the body that rarely returns to the treated areas, as fat cell number is constant after puberty when body weight is stable/ maintained.
  3. Liposuction helps eliminate benign fatty tumors (lipomas).
  4. Liposuction helps improve body contour, removing unwanted fat from the localized areas. Further, the eliminated fat can be used to enhance the volume demand for specific body areas, such as breasts or buttocks.
  5. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but significantly helps meet the goal of washboard abs for men and an hourglass figure for women.
  6. Liposuction surgery minimizes the risks associated with being overweight, such as heart attack, high blood pressure, strokes, and obesity.
  7. Liposuction can help reduce the risks of type-2 diabetes in obese patients.
  8. Liposuction tightens the skin and reduces cellulite.
  9. Liposuction helps improve excessive sweating.

What can liposuction not do?

  • Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and differs from abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. Moreover, the procedure helps contour the arm, double chin, upper back, chest, saddlebag, butt, hip, calf, and ankle.
  • Liposuction cannot improve changes in the skin, such as cellulite and stretch marks.
  • Liposuction is not allowed if you are overweight or do not meet the required criteria to undergo surgery.

Note: Liposuction surgery is highly technical and requires an expert professional/ certified plastic surgeon with utmost precision to perform the surgery. Dr. Karishma Kagodu utilizes cutting-edge techniques, including 4D high-definition VASER technology and etching to accentuate muscle anatomy.

Before Liposuction:

Since liposuction is a contouring procedure and does not count as weight loss surgery, prospective patients are expected to be close to their goal weight before surgery. One must note that liposuction removes discrete areas of fat below the skin that restrict response through diet or exercise. Intra-abdominal fat below the abdominal wall cannot be eliminated with liposuction surgery. An ideal candidate for liposuction surgery is one who is close to their goal weight with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 30.

After Liposuction:

The aftercare measures and follow-up guidelines greatly influence the best results of liposuction. Thus, if you wish to achieve the utmost benefits of liposuction surgery, you must follow all the post-op protocols and maintain an ideal weight followed by a healthy diet and exercise. Pressure garments will be provided to you, and you should wear them during the healing process. Pressure garments help with swelling and contour. It is expected to wear a pressure/ compression garment for a full six weeks after the procedure.
