2 Liposuction Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that slims and reshapes speci c areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving body contours. The procedure is sometimes called body contouring. Liposuction can be performed on any part of the body where deposits of fat tend to collect, such as the thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen and waist, chest area, upper arms, back, cheeks, chin and neck and calves. It can remove small areas of fat that are hard to lose through exercise and a healthy diet. The procedure is often coupled with other cosmetic surgeries such as tummy tuck, face lift etc. Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and not a substitute for proper diet and exercise. Liposuction will not remove cellulite or stretch marks. Ideally liposuction is best suited for adults who are within 30% of their ideal weight; who have rm, elastic skin and good muscle tone. They should be clear about their expectations from the surgery and be otherwise healthy without any serious medical condition that would impair healing.

3 Are you the right Candidate? You may need up to 10 days to recover, if a large area was treated. You may be able to return to work within a few days if a small area was treated. You would need to avoid strenuous activity for up to four weeks. Stitches will be removed after a week (unless you have had dissolvable stitches). If the pain and swelling persists along with fever, it might be a sign of infection and you should contact your doctor. How do you prepare for surgery? You must have a thorough clinical examination and blood tests. If you smoke you should quit some weeks before the procedure. You will be advised not to eat or drink any thing for 8-10 hours before the surgery as a part of pre-operative instructions. Your anaesthetist will meet you and review your clinical notes and test reports.

4 Steps of the procedure You will be given anaesthesia -the choice of anaesthesia will depend upon your condition. Small incisions are made and a local anesthesia solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. With a thin hollow cannula inserted through the incisions, and a controlled back and forth motion, the excess fat is loosened. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. Any excess uid and blood is drained and the treated area is stitched up and bandaged. Fluid replacement may be required if there is a signi cant loss of uid or blood. The procedure usually takes one to three hours. Most people need to stay in hospital overnight. How does recovery occur? You will be kept in the recovery room till you have recovered from the anaesthesia and all your clinical parameters are stable. If a small area was treated, you may be able to return to work within a few days. If it was a large area, you may need up to 10 days to recover. You'd need to avoid strenuous activity for up to four weeks
