Liposuction in Faridabad
Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove the excess fat deposits from the body. It is basically a body contouring procedure that improves the body shape. Getting back to shape after weight gain is a tough task. When dieting and exercise don’t help, liposuction comes in handy with instant results. Persistent efforts are however required to maintain the results.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure!
There are a lot of misconceptions regarding the procedure. Many people who are morbidly obese and want an instant fix often enquire about liposuction. But, it is not a weight loss procedure. Rather it is a body contouring/ shaping procedure. Liposuction with other body contouring procedures can help them only after initial dramatic weight loss by bariatric surgery which helps lose 25-30 kgs.
Liposuction is primarily intended for body shaping; weight loss and inch loss are a bonus. It is not the primary procedure for weight loss.
Ideal Candidates for Liposuction
- Ideal candidates for liposuction are overweight individuals, who are not more than 30 percent of ideal body weight or the ones who have near-normal weight with isolated bulging areas of the body.
- The fat bulges are not going away even with diet and exercise and the person is keen to get rid of them. These nasty bulges could be the double chin of the neck, fat pads in the axilla, the bra rolls below the straplines, love handles around the waist, saddlebags on the outer thighs, inner thighs, excess fat deposits in arms, tummy, hips etc. Not to lose your mind over it, you can do away with them without much hassle by liposuction.

Types of Liposuction
Dr. Kiranmayi Atla, an expert cosmetic surgeon practicing at Beauty & The Cut uses the following techniques for surgery of liposuction in Faridabad:
1. SAL (Suction Assisted Liposuction)
In this method, liposuction is done by the conventional SAL technique which is manual. Blunt cannulas connected to a high vacuum suction machine by large bore tubing aspirate the fat from the body. It can also be done using large syringes. It is best suited to harvest soft fat in low volumes.
2. PAL (Power Assisted Liposuction)
It is a power-assisted device that works on the same principle as SAL. The only difference is that before suctioning out the fat it is emulsified by utilizing rapid vibrations and oscillations. So, it leads to faster removal of fat.
3. VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance)
It is an ultrasonic-assisted device to break down the fat during liposuction. This is useful in areas like the back where the fat is fibrous and in patients undergoing repeat liposuction. It causes excellent skin retraction and is useful in cases where there is a large amount of excess skin in addition to fat.
4. Laser-assisted Liposuction or Laser Lipo
Laser energies have also been harnessed for liposuction. The laser liposuction technique uses the energy derived by Nd: Yag (1064nm) for lipolysis. These high-energy devices facilitate greater control and precision in achieving the desired contours.
5. Liposculpting or Hi-Definition Liposuction
It is for those who desire more than just getting rid of the bumps and achieving perfectly chiselled bodies. Struggling between work commitments and time to hit the gym, the slim fit athletic body remains a distant dream for many. Hi-definition liposuction helps those nearing the goals to reach the target line. Done using power-assisted (PAL), ultrasound-assisted VASER lipo, or Laser lipo technology, it sculpts the abdomen to give the perfect six-pack abs, and defines the contours of the chest and butt to produce the perfect desired silhouette.
