Overview

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is a major surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove body fats from an individual’s specific areas such as the abdomen, hips, breasts (gynecomastia), calves, ankles, chest, back, thighs, legs, butts, arms, neck, or chin. In another word, liposuction helps to contour these body areas that haven’t responded well to diets and exercises. Moreover, liposuction helps to define the body features of an individual.

Individuals with tight skin and good elasticity will have a good chance of smooth skin after the surgery – little to no scarring. However, for individuals with thin skin and poor elasticity, the treated areas may appear loose after surgery. Liposuction doesn’t help to treat common skin surface irregularities or conditions such as stretch marks (due to weight loss or pregnancy).

Reasons for Liposuction Surgery

When an individual gain weight, body fat cells naturally increase in size and volume. In unfortunate cases, these body fats cannot disappear even after dieting and exercising. Thus, liposuction is a suitable procedure to reduce the number of fat cells in the particular body area. The amount of body fats removed depends on the physical condition of the area and the volume of fats.

After liposuction, the skin shapes itself to the new contours of the treatment areas. The contoured body results are usually permanent, as long as you continue to exercise and maintain your weight. To be a candidate for liposuction, you must be in good health without conditions that could complicate surgery — such as restricted blood flow, coronary artery disease, diabetes or a weak immune system.

Risks of Liposuction Surgery

Just like any other major surgery, liposuction surgery carries its own risks, such as internal or external bleeding and a negative reaction to anaesthesia. The comprehensive list of possible complications for liposuction surgery is as follows:

  • Skin contour irregularities. Your skin may appear bumpy, wavy or withered due to uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity and unusual healing. These changes may be permanent. Damage beneath the skin from the thin tube (cannula) that’s used during liposuction may give the skin a permanent spotted appearance.
  • Fluid accumulation. Temporary pockets of fluid (seromas) can form under the skin. This fluid may need to be drained with a needle.
  • Numbness. You may feel temporary or permanent numbness in the affected area. Temporary nerve irritation also is possible.
  • Infection. Skin infections are rare but possible. A severe skin infection may be life-threatening.
  • Internal puncture. Rarely, a cannula that penetrates too deeply may puncture an internal organ. This may require emergency surgical repair.
  • Fat embolism. Pieces of loosened fat may break away and become trapped in a blood vessel and gather in the lungs or travel to the brain. A fat embolism is a medical emergency.
  • Kidney and heart problems. Shifts in fluid levels as fluids are being injected and suctioned out can cause potentially life-threatening kidney, heart and lung problems.
  • Lidocaine toxicity. Lidocaine is an anesthetic often administered with fluids injected during liposuction to help manage pain. Although generally safe, in rare circumstances, lidocaine toxicity can occur, causing serious heart and central nervous system problems.

Benefits

Liposuction is normally done for cosmetic purposes, but it is sometimes used to treat certain conditions.

These include:

  • Lymphedema: A chronic, or long-term, condition in which excess fluid known as lymph collects in tissues, causing edema, or swelling. The edema commonly occurs in the arms or legs. Liposuction is sometimes used to reduce swelling, discomfort, and pain.
  • Gynecomastia: Sometimes fat accumulates under a man’s breasts.
  • Lipodystrophy syndrome: Fat accumulates in one part of the body and is lost in another. Liposuction can improve the patient’s appearance by providing a more natural looking body fat distribution.
  • Extreme weight loss after obesity: A person with morbid obesity who loses at least 40 percent of their BMI may need treatment to remove excess skin and other abnormalities.
  • Lipomas: These are benign, fatty tumors.

Liposuction on the abdomen: Review of Surgical Procedures

Liposuction refers to a trending, highly demanded procedure used to remove excess fat from bodies. Treatment entails performing surgical operations which extract layers of fatty tissue using a slender suction machine, called the cannula. Varying according to space measurements of treated tissue areas, surgical operations often extend over 1 hour or 2, followed by several days to recover fully.

Liposuction is widely sought after because the treatment conveniently cuts down targeted undesired fat tissue that was not effectively shed by exercise or diets. But many should take heed, note, that liposuction is not categorized as a weight loss surgery, also, there are set limits to the volume of fat cells which may be securely removed. Liposuction may work for patients that have already hit close approximates of their target body weight.

Liposuction may be applied to many sections of the human body, like the thighs, breasts, waist or back. But most patients undertake liposuction procedures on their stomachs for attaining more trimmed down or slender waists. A very common question that people seek to clarify about liposuction is general accrued bills. The review below delivers up to date data about the bills for liposuction upon the waist.

Liposuction Surgeries on the Abdomen: Costs, Price Estimates

Within Singapore, estimated bills for liposuction upon the lower or upper abdomen range between $5,110 from the lowest end to $10,764 at the highest end, while the bills for liposuction that are performed upon the lower abdomen ranges between $3,360 to $10,100.

Because the pricing for liposuction varies according to the measurements of the targeted areas or precise volumes of tissue delineated for reduction, or considerations about the training and maturity of engaged liposuction surgeons, a reliable way (perhaps, the sole way) to obtain a more precise price estimate for liposuction surgeries are to personally consult a liposuction surgeon at clinics. Virtual consultations are alternatives to derive approximate cost estimates.

Try to avoid getting Budget Liposuction

With respect to liposuction or alternative cosmetic surgeries, budget surgeries are higher cost over the long term. This owes to patients that choose budget cosmetic surgeons regularly getting very poor or undesirable liposuction results which they need to correct or rectify with further surgeries. These poor surgery outcomes occur more frequently than many desire, expect. Training or experience with liposuction surgeries may make significant differences to surgery outcomes, patients’ safety.

These are some of the complications often resulting from budget liposuctions:

  • Poor to no visible fat shedding
  • Excessive surgery could result in artificial, unsightly results
  • Ugly scars result in ugly patches over the skin
  • Visible ugly scars on the waist
  • Heavier exposure to post-surgery complications, infections

To evade these complications or subsequent demands for corrective surgeries, earnestly seek to consult a board-approved plastic surgeon with impeccable track records.

It remains wiser to pay higher bills for one comprehensive surgery than to risk botched surgeries or heavier bills arising from corrective surgeries to rectify initial botched surgeries.
