Are you good candidate for Liposuction?

People often wonder they will benefit from liposuction or not, or whether they are good candidate for it? To answer this question, I simply tell them that If you follow a healthy lifestyle (regular exercise + healthy diet) and still have some isolate fatty areas in your body that don't go away (such as tummy bulge or thighs or arms) then liposuction can be really helpful. But it is definitely not suitable for people who are overweight or looking for weight-loss because LIPOSUCTION IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. The goal of liposuction is get you rid from bulges of stubborn fatty areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.

A Tummy Bulge is Inevitable with Age, Weight gain and Childbirth. But How can you get Rid of It?

As a woman, there comes a time in your life when you realize that efforts at dieting and exercise are not changing the appearance of your sagging and protruding belly, even men in their 30-40s notice a pot belly coming that refuses to budge with diet or exercise alone. This is a very common problem, especially in women after childbirth- a bulge tummy is more likely to develop, no matter how slender or fit you may be otherwise. Men cannot exclude from this as it’s a general tendency with Indian men that they develop a pot belly in their late 30 or early 40s and almost 90 percent of Indian women (whether they are married or not) have their lower abdomen slightly bulging out that never settles down completely. The worst part of this genetic fat collection pattern is when you start gaining weight with time even in your early twenties, fat starts to collect in your waist-line very fast making this area protruded like -4 months' pregnant women or having a “food-baby” inside that is certainly an undesirable thing. This problem can affect your overall lifestyle and many times self confidence is marred by the disproportionate contours of waistline. As a result, you start feeling conscious and hesitate wearing outfits that highlight your waist; even many women wear the skirts and saree above the waist to hide the bulge and men fail to hide their tummy bulge in fitted T-shirts so all you do is bid adieu to such popular clothing. But is there anything that can help to budge that tummy bulge and make your clothes fit you again? The answer is Yes, actually this is the ideal situation for Tummy-tuck because your tummy requires some extra help to fix all three layers (abdominal fat, muscles and loose skin).

“People often say that they have No Time for Exercise because they are too busy. Well, if you’re not determined for an active and healthy lifestyle, then nothing on earth can help you with reduction of fat because healthy diet and regular exercise is not an option to excuse but a lifestyle modification.”- Dr. R. K. Mishra.

Tummy tuck is only suitable for those who live a healthy lifestyle (regular exercise and healthy diet) because people who eat right and exercise regularly have good abdominal tone (and almost no fat in internal organs like intestines, liver or heart). Tummy-tuck cannot remove fat from internal organs, only diet and exercise can do that. It can remove the pockets of stubborn fat, loose skin and stretched muscles that refuse to get back their shape with diet or exercise but not helpful if you rely on this procedure completely.

5 Things No One will tell you About Liposuction

Both men and women undergo liposuction to achieve a variety of different goals. Some people want to look better in a swimsuit, while others want to find jeans that fit more comfortably. Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures; as such, chances are you’ve asked yourself the simple question: “Is Liposuction right for me?” There are misconceptions about reasons for Liposuction and whether liposuction will produce results as desired. If you’re considering liposuction, you should be aware of popular myths and facts about it.

Myth-1: Liposuction can be a substitute to diet and exercise.

Fact: Liposuction is NOT intended to replace the routine of healthy diet and regular exercise; in fact it is equally important. Exercise helps you to tone your overall body, prevents fat deposition in internal organs (such as intestines, liver, heart etc) and liposuction improves your body’s shape by removing unwanted fat pockets from localized areas (such as abdomen, thighs, hips, and arms) that still retain fat in spite of regular exercise. Liposuction should ideally be used after you’ve established a healthy lifestyle (stable weight, regular exercise, healthy diet) that you can maintain even after liposuction. In fact, doing so is essential in maintaining the results of liposuction.

Myth-2: Liposuction is a short-cut to weight loss.

Fact: Liposuction is NOT a short-cut to weight loss. In fact, it is particularly suited for men and women who are close to their ideal weight but have isolated, uneven fatty areas on their body that never go away with exercise or diet. It is not a solution for obese person whose main goal is significant weight loss.

Myth-3: Liposuction will change your life apart from the change to your body.

Fact: Make sure you want liposuction for the right reasons to address as problem area on your body and not just as a quick-fix for your life’s problems. Liposuction will not “instantly fill you with confidence,” though it can help with that aspect of your life as long as you maintain realistic expectations. Liposuction can only alter you physically, and though you may feel more confident after having the procedure done. If you are prepared for the fact that your life will not change magically overnight, then liposuction may be right for you.

Myth-4: Liposuction will cure cellulite or reverse all the signs of aging on your body.

Fact: Liposuction is not a way to treat loose, saggy skin or cellulite, which is the wrinkling of skin commonly found on lower abdomen, arms, buttocks, and thighs. Older patients with reduced skin elasticity do not often achieve the same results as younger patients, as the best results are produced when the procedure is performed on firmer, more elastic skin. People with sagging loose skin may need other procedures with liposuction to reduce extra skin such as tummy-tuck and arm lift. Liposuction offers an additional help by removing extra fat from your body and make you look overall fit.

Myth-5: Liposuction can make you look like models.

Fact: Liposuction cannot make you a different person. It is basically you get what you come with. People often wish to get an hourglass figure or six-packs but such things depend on many factors that are beyond your control like your body structure, inherited traits, genetic predispositions and life style etc. If you expect to get an improved version of yourself, then liposuction can be helpful.

Liposuction and Weight Loss

People often start watching their body weight right after liposuction and wonder why the numbers are not going down as they expect. First of all, it’s important to remember that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Best for removing small pockets of fat, liposuction gives patients better body contour and a shapelier silhouette, but is not meant to help you lose pounds. 

 I tell patients to avoid the weighing scale for 1-2 month after surgery because the body is in healing mode from surgery stress and can cause you to retain water (which could translate to increased pounds). Once the body realizes you are fine the water will come off. Maintaining a balanced diet and following your doctor’s prescribed post-op instructions will also help you on the right track toward a healthy recovery.

Get Rid of Tummy Fat Permanently

Get Rid of Tummy Fat Permanently

People who maintain a steady weight, Women and men who are overweight or of relatively normal weight but having isolated tummy bulge causing their body to appear disproportionate are particularly well suited to tummy-liposuction or tummy fat reduction. Though anyone who is otherwise healthy can go for it and it is possible to undergo tummy-liposuction at almost any age, best results (almost flat tummy) can be obtained if one’s skin still has enough elasticity to achieve a smooth contour following fat removal. Inelastic skin as in some older patients or after in women's tummy after childbirth may not recover well with liposuction alone, making a skin tightening procedure (like abdominoplasty/tummy-tuck) inevitable for better results. Many women do have a hanging pouch of skin consisting of more skin rather than fat in lower tummy after pregnancy which has to be removed directly as this will not be responding to liposuction alone. A tummy tuck is also an option for men or women who were once obese and still have excess fat deposits or loose skin around the belly.

Eliminate Those Little Imperfections of Your Body, Go for A Liposuction!

Liposuction assumes utmost importance for Indians considering their genetic predisposition to typical patterns of weight gain like Double chin, Belly Bags, Saddle Bags or Hip Bags. Liposuction can be an ideal way to address these problem areas. By specifically targeting the areas that bother you the most, it can help your body look amazing in many different places you mostly feel isolated fatty pockets. Liposuction may be performed by the best liposuction surgeon of your area on the abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, arms, buttocks, back, neck, face or enlarged male breast (gynecomastia). If you're happy overall with your body but the feeling of frustration over stubborn spots sounds all too familiar, it might be time to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Together, you can develop a treatment approach to make the most out of your existing assets, and eliminate those little imperfections for good. The patient must have realistic expectations and it comes flowing that satisfaction to the liposuction is closely tied to expectations. Obviously, a significant factor is the liposuction cost but more vital than price, however, is the standards of safety, privacy and the intensity of care provided before and after the procedure.
