Liposuction: The facts you should know

What is Liposuction?

A type of cosmetic surgery which breaks up and "sucks" fat from various possible parts of the body, most commonly the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, neck, chin, upper and backs of the arms, calves, and back.

Why is it done?• Liposuction is mainly used to improve how a

person looks, rather than providing any physical health benefits.

• Experts say that liposuction should ideally only be used if the individual did not achieve the desired results with a lifestyle change.

Target Areas•Abdomen •Back •Buttocks •Chest •Inner knees •Hips •Flanks (love-handles) •Neckline and the area under the chin (submental) •Thighs - saddlebags (outer thighs), and inner thighs •Upper arms

Before the operation•Stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least two weeks before the surgery.

•Women - if undergoing an extensive operation, they may be asked to stop taking the contraceptive pill for a specific period before the operation.

•Patients with anemia - they will be asked to take iron supplements for a specific period before the operation.

•Consent form - the patient will be asked to sign a consent form, which confirms that they are fully aware of the risks, benefits and possible alternatives to the procedure.

During the operation•Surgeon will mark out lines on the patient's body, indicating where treatment will take place.

•Photos of the target area, and sometimes the patient's whole body may be taken.

•They will be compared to pictures of the same areas taken afterward.

•The patient will most likely be under a general anesthetic.

After the operation•Antibiotics - patients may be given antibiotics immediately after the operation.

•Painkillers - the doctor will most likely prescribe or recommend analgesics (painkillers) to relieve pain and inflammation.

•Stitches - the patient will be given a follow-up appointment to have the stitches removed.

•Bruising - there will be significant bruising in the targeted area. The amount of bruising is usually linked to how big the targeted area was.

•Numbness - patients may experience numbness in the area where fat was removed. This should improve within six to eight weeks.
