Transform Your Body with Liposuction in Chennai at Hande Hospital
Hande Hospital has over thirty-five years of experience in performing liposuction and laser surgery for fat removal in Chennai. Liposuction was started in France during the seventies. Since 1981, it is in practice in the United States and other parts of the world.
Lipolysis, or Liposuction, is a procedure in which the surgeon removes fat from an area (Spot Reduction) by using long or short metal tubular instruments connected to a suction machine The suction tube which is made of stainless steel has a blunt tip with a hole on the side.
The suction machine used for this purpose creates very powerful negative pressures. Lipectomy is an entirely different procedure wherein an incision is made and the fat along with the excess skin is excised.
What is Liposuction?
Individuals who go through liposuction ideally should have a steady body weight, but might want to eliminate unwanted collection of fat in specific areas of the body.
Fat collection at the Hips, Thighs, Buttocks, Abdomen, Arms, Under the Chin, Upper Torso, etc can be reduced by liposuction. The best liposuction in Chennai is not intended for weight loss, but only to remove fat from stubborn areas of the body.
Cost of Liposuction in Chennai
As the liposuction procedure can be used in different body areas, the cost would differ based on the body area. The average cost of liposuction treatment in Chennai at Hande Hospital is around ₹ 80,000. Cosmetic Surgery will attract GST.
How does liposuction work and who is it best for?
Normal healthy skin can naturally shrink even after some fat has been sucked out from under it.
It is for this reason that younger patients are more satisfied with liposuction surgery in Chennai. After the age of 50, the capacity of the skin to shrink decreases and a portion of the skin may have to be excised to get a satisfactory contour. If there is a lot of loose skin, say after a person has lost considerable weight or after delivery or due to old age or some other reason, a portion of the skin may have to be excised after completing the liposuction procedure.
Will the patient put on fat in the same area after Liposuction?
Adult fat cells cannot multiply. As man evolved through the ages the only organs that have retained the ability to regenerate are the liver and skin. Therefore, the total number of fat cells in an adult remains the same, and when one puts on weight, it is the size of the individual cell that increases and not the number. Similarly, when one loses weight, it is the size of the individual fat cells which decreases and not the number.
A person undergoing liposuction will get rid of a certain number of fat cells from an area of their body permanently. It has also been found that due to some unexplained reasons, the patient continues to lose weight (at times a great deal) for months after the surgery.
Liposuction Surgery In Chennai – How Is It Done?
The procedure is done under the effect of Anaesthesia (Local, regional or General) at Hande Hospital, the best liposuction hospital in Chennai. A small cut (incision) about 5mm is made some distance away from the area to be suctioned after injecting the area with adrenaline and saline (tumescent technique) where the suction cannula is inserted. The incisions are usually made in the skin folds to make the scars less visible.
Depending upon the areas to be suctioned or recontoured or reduced, anywhere between 600 ml to more than 3 litres of fat can be removed in one sitting. If more fat is to be removed, one could repeat the procedure after a month or so, as advised by the doctor.
After the surgery, a snug or tight dressing will be applied for 5-8 days to promote shrinkage of the skin and minimize swelling. In most instances, one is required to wear a support or a girdle for a couple of weeks during the healing time. One may feel localised areas of hardness or firmness in the suctioned areas for 1-2 months after the surgery.
One may require pain relieving medication by mouth for one or two days after the surgery. During the healing period, numbness or discomfort could be present for a varied time. After the surgery, there will be swelling in the areas of surgery. Even though most of the swelling is gone in the first 2-3 weeks, it takes 2-4 months for all the swelling to disappear. In rare cases, discolouration could last up to several weeks after the procedure.
Even after multiple area lipolysis, one should be able to be up and about in a day or two and get back to routine early. Our best liposuction surgeons in Chennai at Hande Hospital guide you through the recovery period to ensure that you heal properly.
How Good Are The Results Of Liposuction In Chennai?
By and large, patients are happy with the results of the surgery. Results however depend upon the expectation of the patient and the amount of fat that is suctioned from the given area. Usually, patients with good elastic skin and those who come for recontouring a specific area are very happy. Liposuction in Chennai does not promise perfection and symmetry for every patient.
Also, in some patients, all unwanted fat cannot be removed in certain areas in the first sitting. Lipolysis may have to be repeated on such patients, after about three months. Expert consultation and planning can help patients in getting the best liposuction in Chennai.
