Liposuction – Trim and Stay Slim

Liposuction and abdominal lipectomy (commonly known as “ tummy tuck ”) are modern and effective treatment modalities to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, like the abdomen, thigh, hip, arm, and waist to get trimmed to a shapely figure.

Using a small incision, a small bore tube or cannula is inserted and used to suction off the fat layer that lies deep beneath the skin. The cannula is alternately pushed and pulled through the layer of fat, suctioning fat cells as they are broken up. A vacuum pump or a large syringe, depending on the doctor's preference provides the suction. In cases where many sites are being treated, the surgeon then moves on to the next area, keeping the incisions in the most inconspicuous areas.





Wrap the treated area with a compression sheet for a few weeks in order to firm up the muscles and to reduce swelling. .

Swelling will reduce within a month and is expected to disappear within 3-6 months.

Refrain from strenuous activities for a month after the surgery.
