From ages, human race has placed importance on beauty. Physically attractive individuals are judged more positively and make better impression on others. Looking good and keeping fit helps build ones confidence, to take on the challenges in life. "Cosmetic Surgery" or "Aesthetic Surgery' is performed to reshape normal structures of the body. It may be to correct a minor deformity of a specific body part one is not happy about or to overcome the effects of aging, and look younger. Thus Cosmetic Surgery offers people a chance to enhance their appearance and self-esteem, leading to better lifestyle and productivity.
Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed worldwide. It involves permanent removal of fat from areas of the body like abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, chest and chin.
Fat deposits in certain areas of the body like abdomen, hips and thighs in women, and chest and abdomen in men are resistant to diet and exercise. By permanently removing fat from these areas, Liposuction helps reshape the body
In people with healthy elastic skin, the skin shrinks after liposuction. In individuals with excess loose skin, some amount of skin may need to be removed to attain optimum results. Liposuction is not meant for weight loss, though there will be overall reduction in the body weight. Liposuction is not a substitute for dieting and exercises.
Techniques:
• Suction assisted lipectomy (SAL) - is the traditional and time tested method of liposuction. Finer instruments and better techniques have resulted in vastly improved results. SAL is the gold standard in liposuction techniques even now.
• Ultrasound assisted lipectomy (UAL) - uses ultrasound energy to break (lyse) the fat cells before suctioning them out. Advantages of this technique include decreased effort for the surgeon. However, there are increased chances of fluid collection (seroma) and skin damage when this method is used.
