Liposuction: Helping People to Reduce Weight

A surgical procedure known as liposuction is conducted to remove the excess or unwanted fat from the body. Fat is extracted from different body parts such as chin, cheeks, front portion, arms, hips, collar, buttocks, knees, underarms and thighs. It is generally done for those specific areas where fat has not reduced even after proper diet and exercise.

The basic technique of liposuction involves the removal of fat via a hollow metal tube (cannula) which is passed through the fatty tissues. It can be performed using the tumescent technique or under local anaesthesia which is safer for the patient. The liposuction surgical procedure is meant for different types of groups like:

• People who are excessively fat and wish to reduce their shape and size to lead a healthier lifestyle. For them, liposuction is an ideal surgical treatment to minimise weight. Women who take medications while pregnancy gain weight quite often. People who cannot exercise due to some injury or health issues start gaining weight. Also, old people also start storing fat due to lack of physical movement.
• There is another group of people who are fit, but have fat stored in their bodies in specific areas like thighs, abdomen, neck, buttocks, hips, cheeks and upper thighs. This problem is usually considered to be genetic; therefore it is not an easy task to decrease the fat content even by dieting or exercising. The liposuction surgical procedure can prove to be highly effective in such cases.
• Gynecomastia is a medical condition in which men develop breast tissues. In some cases, this growth is due to actual enlargement of glands, but fatty tissues also grow on a large scale inside breast. Growth of breast in men has become common and a medical study recently stated that one third adolescent men suffer from this problem. The patient has to face embarrassment, resulting in low confidence. Many athletes and bodybuilders who take the testosterone intakes may also suffer from gynecomastia. The fat content can be easily reduced and you can find solutions to these problems with surgery of liposuction.

In Tumescent liposuction procedure large volume of saline is added to the fat in the body. Space is created within the fat area by this fluid which helps free movement of the cannula. When treatment is over, cannula is removed after the fat is sucked out. To prevent re-accumulation of fluid and to maintain the shape, a compression garment is worn for at least 2 to 4 weeks.

Majority of people are confused about the outcome of the liposuction surgery. The result of this procedure varies with every patient. Permanent removal of the fat from a body part has been reported in many cases. It is important to note that this surgical procedure would not prevent gaining weight in the future. It is only meant to provide a new start after which the patient should follow a healthy lifestyle and eating habits.
