Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, some individuals struggle with localized fat that resists diet and exercise.
Liposuction offers a solution by targeting these areas, sculpting and contouring the body to create a more defined, balanced appearance. Dr. Sanjay, a highly experienced plastic surgeon, uses advanced liposuction techniques to help patients achieve their body goals with precision and care.
This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, back, and neck. The fat is permanently removed, enhancing body contours and delivering long-lasting results. Whether you’re seeking to enhance your body proportions or refine specific areas, liposuction provides a safe and effective path toward achieving a more toned and aesthetically pleasing physique.
For safety reasons and in compliance with UAE regulations, a maximum of 5 litres of fat may be removed in a single session. Any additional fat removal beyond this limit must be conducted in stages.
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips. It helps contour the body and improve proportions, giving a slimmer and more defined appearance.
Invasive surgery involves making incisions to access internal structures for treatment.
Recovery time typically takes about two weeks.
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.
The process takes approximately 2 to 4
hours
Liposuction is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat to be removed. Here’s how the procedure works:
Before the surgery, Dr. Sanjay will assess your body, discuss your aesthetic goals, and mark the areas to be treated.
The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
Small incisions are made in discreet areas near the treatment zone, and a thin cannula is inserted to break up and suction out fat deposits. The process involves precise movements to contour and sculpt the body.
After the fat removal is complete, the incisions are closed, and a compression garment is applied to help reduce swelling and support healing.
Proper preparation is essential for a smooth liposuction procedure and recovery. Here are the key steps to take:
A full medical assessment is necessary to ensure you’re a good candidate for liposuction. This may involve blood tests and a review of your medical history.
Dr. Sanjay will advise you on which medications to stop, such as blood thinners, and any necessary preoperative prescriptions.
Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least two weeks prior to the procedure, as these can interfere with healing and recovery. Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to optimize your body’s readiness for surgery.
During liposuction surgery, the following steps are typically performed:
Depending on the extent of the procedure, either local or general anesthesia will be used.
Dr. Sanjay will make small incisions near the treatment areas. A cannula will then be used to break up and remove excess fat, contouring the body with precision.
The incisions are small and are usually closed with sutures. Compression garments are applied post-surgery to aid in healing and reduce swelling.
To ensure a safe and speedy recovery after liposuction, follow these guidelines:
You’ll need to wear compression garments for several weeks to help minimize swelling and support the new body contours.
For the first few weeks, avoid heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or any activity that strains the treated areas.
You may be prescribed pain relief medications and antibiotics to prevent infection. Follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully.
Keep the incisions clean and dry, and adhere to all aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Sanjay. Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your progress.
Liposuction recovery is a gradual process. Here’s what you can expect:
Swelling and bruising are common, but most patients can resume light activities within a few days
Swelling begins to subside, and you will start seeing the initial results. Light activities can be resumed, but avoid intense exercise.
Full recovery and the final results of the liposuction procedure will become evident as swelling completely resolves, and your body adjusts to its new contours.
