Introduction
Liposuction is a popular body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat and sculpt a more defined physique. At The Sculptique Aesthetics in Mumbai, Dr. Aamod Rao combines cutting-edge technology with an artistic eye to deliver safe, natural-looking results. Whether you’re targeting love handles, thighs, or abdominal fat, this blog answers your most pressing liposuction FAQs to help you make an informed choice.
1. What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical fat-removal procedure that targets resistant fat deposits unresponsive to diet and exercise. It sculpts areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, hips, and chin. Dr. Aamod Rao uses advanced techniques such as VASER liposuction and tumescent lipo to ensure precision and smoother contours.
2. How Does Liposuction Work?
Small incisions are made in the treatment area, and a thin cannula is used to suction out excess fat. Dr. Rao prioritizes minimally invasive methods to reduce trauma, ensuring quicker recovery and optimal shaping.
3. Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Ideal candidates:
Have localized fat deposits (not for significant weight loss).
Are within 30% of their ideal weight.
Have good skin elasticity.
Are non-smokers in overall good health.
Dr. Rao assesses your goals and medical history during a personalized consultation.
4. What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
Common treatment zones include:
Abdomen and waist (“love handles”).
Thighs (inner/outer) and hips.
Back, arms, and bra fat.
Double chin and neck.
Dr. Rao customizes plans to enhance your natural proportions.
5. What’s the Recovery Time After Liposuction?
Most patients return to light work in 3–5 days. Full recovery takes 4–6 weeks, depending on the treated area. Dr. Rao’s aftercare guidelines include:
Wearing compression garments to reduce swelling.
Avoiding strenuous exercise for 3–4 weeks.
Attending follow-ups to monitor progress.
6. Are Non-Surgical Alternatives to Liposuction Effective?
Non-surgical options like coolsculpting or laser fat reduction can reduce small fat pockets but offer subtle results. Liposuction remains the gold standard for significant, permanent fat removal and body sculpting.
7. What Are the Risks of Liposuction?
Complications are rare but may include infection, contour irregularities, or fluid accumulation. Dr. Rao minimizes risks by:
Using sterile, advanced surgical protocols.
Providing detailed pre- and post-op instructions.
Prioritizing patient safety through thorough evaluations.
8. How Much Does Liposuction Cost in Mumbai?
Costs depend on the treatment area size, technique, and facility fees. At The Sculptique Aesthetics, Dr. Rao offers transparent pricing tailored to your needs. Investing in an expert ensures safer, more satisfying outcomes.
9. Can Liposuction Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes! Many patients pair liposuction with:
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) for a flatter abdomen.
Brazilian butt lift (BBL) to enhance curves.
Mommy makeovers for post-pregnancy body rejuvenation.
10. How Long Do Liposuction Results Last?
Results are permanent, as removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight with a healthy lifestyle is key to preserving your sculpted contours.
11. Will Liposuction Leave Scars?
Incisions are tiny (3–5 mm) and strategically placed in discreet areas. Scars typically fade to thin, barely visible lines within months.
12. How Do I Choose the Best Liposuction Surgeon in Mumbai?
Look for:
Board certification in plastic surgery.
Expertise in advanced liposuction techniques.
A portfolio showcasing natural-looking results.
Dr. Aamod Rao’s meticulous approach and patient-centric care have made him a trusted name in Mumbai.
