How to Know – Am I the Right Candidate for Liposuction?

Ideal candidates for liposuction should have good health and a realistic approach to the results of the operation.

The same goes for those who have significantly reduced their body fat through diets or exercises but are unable to achieve the required results.

Remember that liposuction is not particularly for weight loss rather, it reduces excess fat by a certain amount. You must follow your diet and exercise plan to lose weight and maintain liposuction results.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, here are the criteria defined for liposuction candidates:

• A Liposuction candidate should be within at least 30 pounds of goal weight or within 30% of your weight.
• People who are generally healthy and don’t have any medical conditions that could make it difficult for them to heal are good candidates for Liposuction.
• Ideally, patients should be above 18 years old.
• Have a normal body weight and a healthy lifestyle.
• A candidate should have good skin elasticity.
• A candidate has not been suffering from diabetes or blood circulation problems.
• He/she does not smoke, has good breathing, and has a strong immune system.

Furthermore, the maximum amount of fat that can be removed with liposuction is 5000 ml, which is about 11 pounds on the scale. The liposuction surgeon will determine your eligibility for the procedure and will set surgery proceedings. After an initial assessment and medical history, our expert cosmetic surgeon will decide whether this aesthetic treatment is right for you or not.

How is Liposuction Performed? 

Liposuction surgery varies depending on individual health, age, fat conditions, and the area of the body where the surgery will be performed. As a patient, you must know under what procedure your body will get treated.

A step-by-step liposuction surgery procedure is mentioned below that our expert surgeons follow at Dubai Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.

Step 1 – Initial Examination

Before starting proceedings, patients stay under observation, and surgeons track their pulse rate, oxygen level, and blood vessel pressure. A surgeon doesn’t start surgery until he is fully satisfied with the patient’s preoperative assessment.

Step 2 – Anesthesia

Usually, surgeons give general anesthesia during the operation. In general anesthesia, you will fall asleep during the procedure and not feel any pain.

Step 3 – Incisions

An incision is then made in the folds of the skin that are well concealed so that the patient cannot see it. The size of the incision directly depends on the size of the cannula.

Step 4 – Fat Suction

Through incisions, cannulas get inserted and then move back and forth to liquefy the fats. Later on, this liquid fat is drained out through the microcannula and a low-power suction machine.

Step 5 – Closing the Incisions

The surgeon used to close the incisions through surgical stitches. Excess fluid is then drained using small tubes placed over the incision site.

The entire procedure will take 3 to 4 hours. It depends on the treatment area and the amount of fat.

What to expect in the Liposuction surgery?

Some of the common key points are mentioned in the chart for all the patients undergoing liposuction surgery.

Anesthesia	Patients who undergo a general anesthetic usually stay in the hospital overnight.  Local anesthesia depends on which body part liposuction surgery will perform as well as body part sensitivity.
Support Bandages	The targeted area will be fitted with elasticated corsets or bandages.
Stitches	They will be removed in a follow-up appointment by the concerned surgeon
Numbness	Numbness will remain till 6 to 8 weeks after the operation.
Antibiotics	Antibiotic medicine will be given after the operation to heal and prevent wound infections quickly.
Bruising	Swelling will appear for a few days on target areas.
Painkillers	Different painkillers will be given to relieve pain and inflammation.

Advanced Liposuction Techniques Use in Dubai (UAE)

Liposuction removes fat through a hollow tube known as a cannula and an aspirator (vacuum). The liposuction procedure can be carried out in different ways based on the amount of fluid injected and the cannula’s mechanism.

There are different types of liposuction methods that are mentioned below. Our practitioner surgeons will decide which technique is more suitable for you after pre-assessment and medical history.

Suction-Assisted Liposuction (SAL)

This is usually a standard liposuction surgery method. It involves making a small incision and a tiny cannula insertion. Then it is connected to a vacuum machine. The surgeon uses a forward and backward motion to push through the fat layer delicately and draw out the fat cells.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)

In ultrasonic liposuction, vibrations are transmitted through a specialized cannula into the body. When the vibration hits the fat cells, it bursts the fat layers and turns them into liquid, making the suction easy. The upper back is one of the most commonly treated areas by UAL because it is more fibrous.

Compared to traditional liposuction, this procedure takes a little longer, but not as long as tumescent liposuction. Additionally, this technique has less blood loss, though it is associated with a higher risk of seroma.

Power-Assisted Liposuction ( PAL)

This procedure is done under a specific cannula with mechanized movements. Due to this, the surgeon requires to perform fewer physical movements, but standard SAL is still used. The fatty tissue is injected with a large amount of Lidocaine mixed with saline solution. This is a preferred method for liposuction since it offers patients the most comfortable and reduces some potential hazards of the procedure.

Twin-Cannula Assisted Liposuction (TCAL or just TCL)

The fat cells are eliminated by using a tube within a tube. The first cannula is placed to disrupt the fat cells and make it easier to suction. The fat is aspirated using the inner cannula. When the cannula is pushed back and forth using this technique, the patient’s tissue is less likely to sustain needless injury.

Laser-assisted Liposuction (LAL)

This type of liposuction uses a laser to liquefy unwanted body fat. The liquefied fat can be vacuumed out or drained out through small tubes called cannulas. Because the cannulas used in laser-assisted liposuction are smaller than those used in traditional liposuction, this method is often recommended for confined areas such as the chin and neck.

In some cases, laser-assisted liposuction may help prevent skin sagging after traditional liposuction because it increases collagen production, which helps maintain skin structure.

What are the Common Risks and Side Effects of Liposuction?

Some considerable risks are included:

Burns: Skin burning can happen if the surgeon is not well experienced in the field. Skin damage is uncommon, especially when performed by skilled surgeons.

In other words, a condition called lidocaine toxicity or poisoning can occur if the lidocaine concentration is too high in the saline solution. The symptoms of Lidocaine poisoning include tingling and numbness at first, followed by seizures and unconsciousness, followed by respiratory or cardiac arrest.
