At Our Plastic Surgery Clinic, we mainly offer suction-assisted liposuction. The problem areas are injected with a solution that contains lidocaine to numb the tissue and epinephrine to minimize bleeding. A long narrow tube called a cannula is used to loosen the fat, and suction is employed to remove the fat from the targeted areas. Liposuction can be very effective in certain areas of the body, particularly the lower abdomen, hips, outer thighs, and upper arms. Your procedure may require only one incision, or it may require several. This will vary with the parts of your body where you desire fat removal and the amount of fat Dr. Atta must remove.

You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you are little over normal weight and have specific areas of fullness that you haven’t been able to decrease with diet and exercise. The best candidates also have tighter, more elastic skin without stretch marks.

Most liposuction procedures are done under general anesthesia. You’ll be able to go home at the same day. Surgery is performed at the state-of-the-art clinic located at DHA, Lahore, Pakistan.

Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure with a low rate of complications when performed by experienced plastic surgeons. While complication rates are low, you should be aware of the potential risk of fluid collections under the skin, nausea after anesthesia, infection, and the extremely rare complication called fat embolism.

Micro scars (from 5 to 10 mm in size) remain after liposuction; however, over time, they become hardly noticeable.

Liposuction treatment is a safe, effective procedure with a relatively short recovery time. Most liposuction procedures are done under general anesthesia, as an outpatient so you can go home later the same day. Most of our patients take about a week off work and regular activities, but recovery time may be longer or shorter, depending upon which areas are treated. Most liposuction patients will also wear a compression garment for about 4 weeks after surgery to help manage the swelling. You can get back to regular activities quite quickly after liposuction, since the incisions are less than 1cm each and the risks of surgical complications are very low.

The duration of the surgery depends on the extent of the surgery and the amount of body fat to be sucked out. To put it in numbers, liposuction may last from one to several hours.

Anesthesia will be administered during the procedure. As a result, you will not feel any pain during a liposuction treatment. In addition, medication will be prescribed to minimize pain after surgery.

Yes, it is possible. Because fat cells are actually removed during liposuction, very few fat cells remain in the areas treated. If you exercise and maintain a healthy diet, the results of your liposuction procedure will last as long as age and other such factors don’t take their toll.

You will probably notice the results soon after surgery, but the true improvement will not be evident until approximately 6 months when all the swelling has subsided. The fat cells removed will not grow back, but it is important to follow a healthy diet and regular exercise as it is possible for the remaining cells to grow.

Lower leg liposuction procedure performed below the knees. The procedure can be executed on one or both legs. The procedure has the same goal as overall leg liposuction, more specifically removing persistent fats from targeted areas.

Yes, the method can be used to treat thigh, arms, stomach and ankles. Commonly there is a bulge of fat just below the knee. Given the location of this fat, patients can have a hard time removing this fat through diet and exercise.
