Liposuction
Liposuction Surgery in Tirupati
Liposuction at Tirupati Trauma Care Centre & Hospital (TTCH) is a body contouring procedure used to remove selected areas of localised fat that may be resistant to diet and exercise.
Dr. Surekha Vellala, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, evaluates patients individually to determine whether liposuction is appropriate and which areas may benefit from treatment.
Liposuction may be performed on selected areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms and male chest, depending on the patient's anatomy and treatment goals.
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity and should not be presented as a replacement for weight management. Its purpose is to improve body contour by reducing localised fat deposits in appropriately selected patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes localised deposits of fat from selected areas of the body.
It is designed to improve body contours rather than provide overall weight loss.
Which areas can be treated with liposuction?
Depending on the patient's anatomy, liposuction may be used to treat areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, back and male chest.
The areas suitable for treatment are determined during consultation.
Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is primarily a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss treatment.
Patients considering liposuction should have realistic expectations about what the procedure can and cannot achieve.
Is liposuction suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on factors including overall health, body weight, skin elasticity, fat distribution, medical history and treatment goals.
Dr. Surekha Vellala assesses these factors before recommending treatment.
Does liposuction remove fat permanently?
Liposuction removes fat cells from the treated area. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge if a person gains significant weight.
Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve the body contour achieved through treatment.
What is the recovery time after liposuction?
Recovery depends on the amount of fat removed and the number and location of areas treated.
Swelling and bruising are common during the early recovery period. Your surgeon will advise you about compression garments, physical activity and when you can return to work and exercise.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
In selected patients, liposuction may be combined with other body contouring or plastic surgery procedures.
Whether combining procedures is appropriate depends on the patient's health, surgical requirements and overall safety.
