Our population in India is quite overweight due to fast food and other lifestyle habits, and, as a consequence, fat loss or weight loss treatments like medicines, gym exercise programs and exercise regimes, crash diet programs, diet books, liposuction, tummy tuck, or non-surgical fat loss treatments have exploded during this decade. Liposuction is a popular plastic surgery that is both safe and effective.
Liposuction surgery, sometimes referred to as “lipo” by patients for short is a body contouring procedure that slims and reshapes areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits.
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that can remove unwanted body fat from specific body areas. It's not typically considered an overall weight-loss method but if you have too much in certain places and stable weight elsewhere on your body, this may be an option to consider!
Liposuction can benefit those who are unable to lose excess fat even after diet or exercise. Liposuction can also be the best solution for women wanting to lose fat after pregnancy.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to break up and remove fat from specific areas of the body and also shapes (contours) these areas. From head to toe, the following body areas are commonly targeted for liposuction procedure:
As a patient, you should have realistic expectations. It is also essential that you are in good health before you get liposuction. That means at the least you must fulfill these conditions to be an ideal candidate for liposuction surgery:
Dr. Vasant Gholave is a highly skilled and experienced cosmetic surgeon in Pune for liposuction. He will tailor the procedure to your specific needs and goals to ensure you get the best possible results.
Dr. Vasant Gholave discusses some of the most common myths about liposuction.
The average cost of liposuction is around Rs. 95,000/- + 18% GST at Arra Aesthetics, Pune. Experienced surgeon Dr. Vasant Gholave will discuss every aspect of the cost of liposuction surgery with you during your personalized consultation.
When it comes to liposuction, insurance doesn't cover the procedure because it is a cosmetic surgery. The cost of fat reduction or liposuction surgery can vary quite a bit, depending on a number of factors. The cost of liposuction depends on:
The other factors that decide the final fat removal surgery cost/ liposuction price may include the goals of the surgery, the procedure used for liposuction, the experience and expertise of the surgeon, the location of the clinic or hospital, and accreditation of the facility matter.
Before the procedure, Dr. Vasant Gholave will discuss with the patient what they expect from the Liposuction surgery. He will review the medical history of the patient and ask about any medical conditions they may have and any medications, supplements, or herbs they may be taking.
Dr. Vasant Gholave will recommend that the patient stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners or NSAIDs, at least three weeks before the surgery. The patient may also need to get certain lab tests before the procedure, such as blood tests.
Patients may receive local or general anesthesia before the procedure.
An epidural may be used for treatments on the lower body. In this case, the anesthesia is injected into the epidural space surrounding the dura, or fluid-filled sac, around the spine. This partially numbs the abdomen and legs. Local anesthesia might be used when liposuction is done on very small areas.
There are just a few different liposuction surgical methods. But they use a thin tube, called a cannula, which is connected to a vacuum to suction the fat from your body.
The cosmetic surgeon will typically leave the incisions open after surgery so they can drain out excess fluid and blood. Either bandages or an elasticated support corset will be fitted for the area where the procedure was done.
Painkillers may be prescribed to help relieve pain and inflammation, and the surgeon will remove the stitches in a follow-up appointment.
The patient might not have to stay in the surgical facility depending on the type of procedure. Those who have general anesthesia usually spend the night in the surgical facility. Those who had local anesthesia may be able to leave the surgical facility on the same day.
Antibiotics may be given immediately after the operation. But the patient should expect bruising, numbness, swelling, and soreness for at least a few weeks. The swelling goes off in 6 to 8 weeks.
The patient may be required to wear a compression garment for 3 to 4 months after surgery to control swelling and for better skin contraction.
Generally, people can return to work within a few days and get back to normal activities within 2 weeks. However, every individual’s recovery time is different.
Liposuction in Pune can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures to achieve the desired results. Some of the most common procedures that are done in conjunction with liposuction are breast enlargement, tummy tuck, and male breast reduction.
After getting liposuction, those who maintain their body weight can expect permanent results. Those who gain weight after the procedure may find changes in their fat distribution. For eg; those who used to have excess fat in their hips might find that their buttocks have become the new problem area.
Maintaining a steady lifestyle and a good diet is necessary to maintain the result of liposuction.
Which type of liposuction is best?

The type of liposuction that is best for you will depend on your individual goals and concerns. Dr. Vasant Gholave will help you choose the type of liposuction that is best for you during your consultation.

Do fat cells grow back after liposuction?
