FAQ’S on Liposuction

What is liposuction surgery? Is it for weight reduction?

Liposuction just means to extract fat from the body through a machine and special cannulas. It is usually a day care procedure with discharge on the same day. It is usually done using small mini incisions at hidden sites. Liposuction is not a weight reduction procedure; it just removes fat and doesn’t address the internal fat. It helps in inch loss rather than weight loss.

Ideal candidate for liposuction surgery?

Mostly a young client with good skin elasticity and minimum stretch marks and one who has neither gained or lost too much of weight suddenly is an ideal client.

How much fat can be taken out in one sitting?

Liposuction can be done for any area starting from abdomen to flanks, back, thighs, etc. It is impossible for anyone to suck out entire fat from all areas in one go.
