Considering Liposuction Liposuction is a technique to remove unwanted fat deposits from diet resistant areas of the body. These procedures are not a substitute for weight reduction but a method of removing localized fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. Dr. Sharma uses Tumescent Liposuction, a more gentle method which allows better sculpting of the body, as well as less trauma to the tissues. By injecting this solution to the fat prior to performing Liposuction, Dr. Sharma numbs the area and shrinks the blood vessels thereby eliminating pain and reducing bleeding, bruising and swelling. Local anesthesia with sedation is used when small areas are suctioned.
General anesthesia is required for most Liposuction of the hips, buttocks, and thighs.
Very small puncture type incisions are made. The fluid and fat are then extracted using small micro cannulas. No stitches are used in this operation. After the procedure, an elastic garment is put on, and you are taken by stretcher to the recovery room. The results are excellent.
