Body Contouring/Liposuction in Pune

Techniques Used in Body Contouring/Liposuction

At Dr. DC Plastic Surgery, we use multiple techniques for Liposuction. The choice of the technique depends on the patient’s condition, target area, and treatment goals. Some of the most commonly used procedures are:

Tumescent Liposuction

A saline solution with anaesthetic is injected into the fat, making removal easier and reducing bleeding.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)

Ultrasound waves break down fat before suctioning, improving precision in fibrous areas.

Laser-assisted Liposuction (LAL)

A laser liquefies fat for smoother removal and promotes skin tightening.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

A vibrating cannula loosens fat quickly, requiring less manual effort for extraction.

Vaser Liposuction

Uses ultrasonic waves to target fat without affecting surrounding tissues, leading to faster recovery.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction works best for you if you:

• Have localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
• Maintain a stable weight and be close to your ideal body weight.
• Have good skin elasticity for optimal contouring results.
• Are in good health and do not smoke.
• Have realistic expectations about body sculpting results.

In contrast, if you have loose skin or if you are looking for an overall weight loss solution, this procedure is not the answer. On the top, if you have certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease, it’s very important to consult with our experts before moving ahead.

Benefits and Limitations of Body Contouring/Liposuction

Advantages:

• Removes stubborn fat permanently. Improves body shape and proportions.
• Boosts confidence with a sculpted look.
• Quick procedure with minimal downtime.
• Can be combined with other cosmetic treatments.
• Enhances clothing fit and overall appearance.
• Motivates a healthier lifestyle post-procedure.

Considerations:

• Not a solution for obesity or loose skin.
• Requires post-procedure care for best results.
• Possibility of temporary numbness in treated areas.

Recovery Time

Recovery time for patients varies, depending on multiple factors. For example, the procedure type, target area, and patient’s overall health. But in general, here’s how the recovery takes place for the patients: 

• First Week: Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort; wear a compression garment.
• Two Weeks: Most swelling subsides; return to light activities.
• Four Weeks: Resume moderate exercise.
• Three Months: The final results become noticeable as the skin tightens.
• Six Months: Full results are visible, and the skin adjusts to the new contour.

It’s very important that patients strictly adhere to the post-procedure instructions that our surgeons provide. For a smooth recovery, patients must wear compression garments, avoid strenuous activities, and maintain a balanced diet.

Cost of Body Contouring/Liposuction

Liposuction costs in Pune depend on the treated areas, the surgeon’s expertise, and the clinic’s facilities. The price generally ranges from ₹80,000 – ₹2,50,000 (varies based on area) per session. But this is an estimated number. For actual cost, we recommend you reach out to our experts as they would guide you better.

1. The number of areas treated.
   
2. Type of liposuction technique used.
