Liposuction in Mumbai

Struggling with stubborn body fat can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise don’t seem to help. If you’re facing this issue, liposuction might be the best option for you. It is a popular cosmetic procedure that targets specific areas to remove excess fat and create a more contoured body shape.

Dr. Viral Desai, a reputed cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Mumbai, explains, “Liposuction provides a targeted approach to body contouring, giving patients a smoother and more defined silhouette.”

With over 20 years of experience and a focus on excellence, Dr. Desai has helped numerous patients achieve their desired body shape through safe and effective procedures such as liposuction. He takes the time to understand each patient’s goals and concerns, developing a personalized treatment plan that meets their expectations. This patient-centred approach, combined with his technical expertise, has made him one of the most sought-after experts for liposuction in Mumbai

Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Now, let’s discuss the candidacy for liposuction.
  • Health Status: Candidates should be in good health without serious medical issues that could affect surgery or recovery.
  • Skin Elasticity: Good skin elasticity is essential for achieving the best results, allowing the skin to conform to new contours.
  • Realistic Expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction enhances body shape rather than drastically changing it.
  • Stable Weight: Maintaining a stable weight before and after the procedure is crucial.
  • Non-Smokers: Non-smokers or those willing to quit around the procedure are ideal since smoking hinders healing.

Areas for Liposuction

Which areas can be treated with liposuction? Let’s explore them next!

Liposuction can be performed on various body areas where stubborn fat accumulates. Here are some common areas:
  • Abdomen: Removes fat from the stomach area to create a flatter, more toned appearance.
  • Thighs: Targets inner and outer thighs to reduce bulk and improve leg shape.
  • Arms: Removes fat from the upper arms to address “bat wings” and create a more sculpted look.
  • Back: This procedure can smooth out fat deposits in the upper and lower back.
  • Chin and Neck: Reduces a double chin and contours the jawline for a more defined facial profile.
  • Hips and Buttocks: Enhances the natural curves of the hips and buttocks by removing excess fat.
  • Flanks: Also known as love handles, this area is a popular choice for liposuction.

Liposuction Techniques We Use

Dr. Viral Desai’s extensive expertise allows him to offer a range of advanced liposuction techniques tailored to individual needs to achieve optimal results for liposuction in Mumbai. Here are some of the most effective ones:

1.Traditional Liposuction

This method involves inserting a cannula to break up and suction out fat manually. It’s effective for removing larger volumes of fat and is commonly used for areas like the abdomen and thighs.

2.Tumescent Liposuction

In this technique, the surgeon injects a special tumescent fluid into the treatment area to minimize bleeding and bruising. It allows for more precise fat removal and a quicker recovery.

3.Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)

This method uses ultrasound energy to liquefy fat before suctioning it out, making it particularly effective in fibrous areas. It provides a smoother contour and is often used for more challenging areas like the back.

4.Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL)

In this technique, the surgeon uses the laser to melt the fat before suctioning it out. This allows for more precise fat removal with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. LAL is ideal for treating smaller, delicate areas such as the chin and neck.

5. High Definition (HD) Liposuction

It is a cutting-edge fat removal technique that targets superficial and deeper fat layers to achieve a more sculpted appearance than traditional methods. Unlike conventional techniques like Suction Assisted Lipoplasty (SAL) and Ultrasonic Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL), which primarily address deeper fat layers, HD Liposuction (HD-SLS) works on all fat layers, enhancing skin retraction and overall body contour.

This technique utilizes smaller cannulas to remove fat precisely from superficial and intermediate layers, enabling detailed body contouring. It can effectively improve areas such as the buttocks, hips, and thighs and even create a “six-pack” appearance. HD Liposuction prevents the uneven contours left by SAL and UAL. It provides a smooth, toned appearance by addressing fat comprehensively. Its gentler approach reduces bruising and bleeding and eliminates the risk of skin burns associated with UAL, making it suitable for various body areas and providing natural, refined results. Experts often recommend it to patients seeking an athletic, toned appearance.

6. Mega Liposuction

It involves removing a large amount of fat, often in one session, from overweight or obese individuals. This technique aims to significantly reduce fat by extracting large volumes of fat. Performing Mega Liposuction safely requires a highly skilled team, including experienced surgeons, anesthetists, and assistants.

Our advanced facility features an ICU, 24-hour intensivist, ventilators, central oxygen, a cardiac unit, and cardiac monitoring with a 2D echo, supported by over ten physicians and cardiologists. This setup allows for frequent and safe large-volume liposuctions.

Since 2005, our center has been among the few in India offering mega liposuction. In one notable case, 22 litres of fat were removed in four hours, the highest volume reported in Asia. To address potential disproportionate body shapes post-surgery, 3D liposuction techniques are used alongside Mega Liposuction, enhancing body contouring and improving skin retraction for a more balanced result.

With cutting-edge techniques and a focus on natural-looking results, Dr. Desai has earned a reputation as one of the best liposuction surgeons in Mumbai.

How is Liposuction Performed?

Now, let’s explore the procedure of liposuction.

Liposuction is a step-by-step process that involves careful planning and execution to ensure the best results. Here’s how it’s typically performed:

  • Consultation: The process begins with a detailed consultation to understand the patient’s goals and assess their suitability for the procedure.
  • Anesthesia: Before the surgery, the surgeon administers local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s preference.
  • Incisions: During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the targeted area to insert the cannula, a thin tube used for fat removal.
  • Fat Removal: The cannula helps break up and suction out fat deposits. Techniques like ultrasound or laser assistance may be employed to facilitate fat removal.
  • Contouring: The surgeon carefully sculpts the area to ensure smooth, natural-looking results.
  • Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures. The medical team closely monitors the patient post-operatively.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from liposuction depends on the procedure’s extent and the areas treated. Here’s what to expect:
  • Initial Recovery: Swelling, bruising, and discomfort may occur for the first few days.
  • Compression Garment: Essential for reducing swelling and supporting new contours.
  • Activity Restrictions: Light activity can resume in a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks.
  • Follow-up Visits: Necessary to monitor healing and prevent complications.
  • Long-term Care: Maintain a healthy diet and exercise to preserve results. While removed fat doesn’t return, weight gain may affect untreated areas.

Final Results: Initial results appear in weeks, with the full outcome visible after a few months as swelling subsides.
