Liposuction
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical operation where in excess fat is removed from various body parts (like thighs, tummy and back) by suction. Liposuction or Lipoplasty or liposculpture is performed using special instrument called cannula which breaks and sucks the fat out from the body. Liposuction is not classified under the category of weight loss surgery but is only a cosmetic procedure.
How safe is it?
Liposuction can never be a substitute to healthy diet and good exercise regimen. Liposuction is never a good idea at first place to remove fatty tissues off your body and can even have severe side effects if not done under experienced surgeon’s supervision. But liposuction is comparatively a safer option than other surgical operations.
Serious complications result when excess fat is taken out of the body resulting in blood clot (that is, Pulmonary Thromboemboli), shock or heart seizure. It demands high personal involvement in recovery procedure post operation to make it safe for your health. Utmost care should be taken during recovery period. Liposuction cannot guarantee if you will remain in same shape rest of your life.
Reveal your complete medical history to surgeon before undertaking the operation. Also, make an analysis of surgeon’s credibility.
