Due to the modern lifestyle, food habits, and hereditary reasons, large amounts of the population today are overweight and obese, which is hazardous. It exponentially increases the risk of diseases like diabetes, PCOS, heart attack & delayed pregnancy, high stress levels, and low confidence. Hard workouts and a consistent diet should be the top priority, but the removal of stubborn fat needs more than just exercise and slimming diets. It needs to be sucked out of the body in a controlled manner – via Liposuction. Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure wherein excess fat is sucked out below the skin with different methods.
Liposuction surgery should not be considered a magic tool for instant weight loss. You can contour and chisel the body in areas that matter the most, like the tummy, flanks, thighs, arms, and under the chin. To get effective liposuction surgery, consult the expert surgeon Dr. Sandhya Balasubramanyan. She is known as the best provider of liposuction surgery in Bangalore. She will help you get the look you have always desired.
The food ( calories) that we consume are used as energy to fuel body functions( basal metabolism) and for all physical activities. If the consumption of calories is more than the expenditure by the body, it gets stored as fat in different parts of the body. In your abdomen fat can be of 2 types- Visceral fat around the internal organs and subcutaneous fat below the skin( pinchable fat ). Visceral fat can be reduced only with lifestyle changes, unlike subcutaneous fat which can be targeted with liposuction and other methods.
The stubborn fat which accumulates around your midsection, love handles, hips, back, chest sides, arms, thigh and under the chin are difficult to reduce. It is because the they have a lesser amount of Beta 2 receptors which help in lipolysis ( fat burn), and more of alpha receptors which help in fat accumulation.
Liposuction surgery also targets the following areas: abdomen or tummy ( midsection), thighs, back, chest and breas-ts, arms, face, chin, waist and calf, bra line, love handles, and saddlebags.
Liposuction is also used in gynecomastia ( Man boobs ), lipodystrophy( in outer thigh abnormal deposition of fat), removing multiple Lipomas, and after weight loss to contour areas, and with tummy tuck and body lift procedures.
To avail of the benefits of liposuction surgery, consult Dr. Sandhya Balasubramanyan, who is known as a top surgeon for providing the best liposuction surgery in Bangalore.
Liposuction works by a simple procedure- Breaking down fat and extracting them from the body. A skilled plastic surgeon can target the areas of removal and reshape the body. There are different methods by which the fat cells can be broken down:
In this the surgeon gently moves the cannula to and fro to break the fat cells and extract it. This is aided by a high power vacuum. The fat is collected in a canistor connected to the cannula.
In this method vibration of the cannula assists in breaking down the stubborn fat, liquefy it and suck it out of the body.
An optical fibre with laser energy is introduced through the cannula which breaks the fat cells and liquefies it, causing no damage to the surrounding structure. It also additionally offers the advantage of skin tightening, eliminating the problem of loose saggy skin which can occur with traditional liposuction.
Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance uses ultrasound energy to vacuolize fibrous stubborn fat. The area to be treated is infiltrated with saline first and vaser probes are introduced to emulsify fat and gently sucked out.
No one understands better than Dr Sandhya Balasubramnayn that no two individuals are same, and hence the treatment should also be customised. She would patiently listen to you, understand your concerns, advise the right treatment option to your body type, explain all the procedure and outcome clearly.

Liposuction surgery in Bangalore, is done under local or general anesthesia depending on the areas to be done. A small 3 mm incisions are done in concealed areas of the body to target the fat cells. A medicated solution called tumuscent fluid is infiltrated which helps in expanding the fatty tissue. Cannula are introduced through the port holes and Infiltrated fat globules are then broken down with PAL ( Power Assisted Liposuction), Laser Liposuction or VASER liposuction based on one of the devices.

Liposculpture or a high-definition liposuction body scale is required to transform your body into a muscular and sleek appearance. This enhances the muscular shape of your body and tones your appearance for an attractive look. If you have decided to go ahead with a liposuction, it is also an ideal time to make your lips fuller, fill your under eye tear trough and folds on either side of your nose. Fat liposuctioned from the abdomen and thighs can be injected in any of these areas. Large volumes can also be used to enhance breas-ts in the most natural way. Fat grafting offers a natural feel and movement and is fast replacing hyaluronic acid fillers as a more permanent solution to fill the folds in your face.
You may be admitted for a day ( for larger liposuction) or can go home the same day after liposuction. The port sites may be closed with dissolvable sutures are can be left open for fluid to drain out postoperatively for the next 4-5 days.
A custom made compression garment is worn for 6 weeks to reduce the bruising and swelling that is seen in the first two weeks. Usually, 2 weeks after liposuction, the patient can see and feel the changes in their contour even though some swelling is still apparent. The pressure garments help to even out this swelling in the next 4 weeks to contour your body. Mild bruises, seroma, swelling, mild skin irregularities can be the changes most commonly seen after liposuction.

Your surgeon can show you the actual aspirated fat after the surgery in case you want to see it .The inch reduction after liposuction is evident immediately after surgery, however due to swelling that sets in 48 hours it might not be the actual results. There is much more inch loss later on! Swelling takes about 6 weeks to wean off , but might take 3-6 months to completely wear off based on the body part,, skin elasticity and your healing. Wear your compression garment for 6 weeks - 3 months for a great results.
The number of fat cells in the body once you are an adult remains more or less constant. During liposuction a good fraction of these cells are taken out permanently from the body . The remaining fat cells can shirnk or enlarge based on the calorie intake and expenditure . Hence if you maintain a stable weight after liposuction with exercise and diet , results can be maintained a lifetime. There are no new fat cells that multiply and come back . It is a myth that fat can get accumulated in other non liposuctioned areas after the procedure.
According to American society of Plastic surgery, 5%-8% of your body weight can be taken out safely in one sitting. So a 80 kg individual can get a 4-6 lts liposuction done safely.

Usually liposuction is done in areas adjacent to each other like midsection and lovehandles , saddle bags and thighs ( outer and inner ), arms and bra rolls or upper back fat.
