Surgical Procedure:Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery operations. The
small canula is placed deep into fatty layer and presser suction is applied
until the fat is removed. Carefully sculpting contour of the body is the
key of success because the fat under skin must be removed and the remain
fat have to be smooth but thinner layer. After the surgery is complete,
pressure dressing must be worn to the suction site to keep body contour
in shape. Duration of Operation: Thirty minnutes. Risks and Complications:Bruise over the liposuction site usually seen on the first few days after
surgery and will be disappear in the first week. Waving skin (rare) happens
because of excess fat removal. After Care: Pressure garment have to apply for a few days after
surgery to keep body contour to be in shape and to reduce the post operative
bruises. Recovery: Pain because of the surgery is very limited and patient
can go back to work within two days. Results: You will see a noticeable difference in the shape of
your body quite soon after surgery. However, improvement will become even
more apparent after about four to six weeks, when most of the swelling
has subsided. After about three months, any persistent mild swelling usually
disappears and the final contour will be visible. Hospital Admission: One night admission to hospital. Anesthetic: General Anesthesia ( you are asleep ) Pre Operative Care: Your surgeon will begin with a physical examination to evaluate your
overall weight, your skin and muscle tone, and the pattern of distribution
of fat deposits. He/she will also record a complete medical history, including
your diet, exercise, and weight history. You will need to let him or her
know about any medications that you are currently taking. Post Operative Care:You should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks as your body
heals, but within 4 to 6 weeks you should be able to resume all normal
activities. Its important to continue wearing the compression garment,
which should be easily hidden under your clothing, until your doctor tells
you that it is no longer necessary.
