But people often have many questions regarding the surgery. So, to address common doubts, we consulted Dr. Mrinalini Sharma, renowned as the best liposuction surgeon in Delhi. She gave us expert insights by answering a few commonly asked questions by her real patients. Let’s continue reading the blog to get a better understanding of the procedure.

Patient 1: I have read that liposuction cannot be done if I have loose skin, but I am not ready for body lift surgery. Please guide me.
Answer: Liposuction certainly is not a treatment for loose skin. If one has loose skin, then with liposuction, the surgeon will suggest some kind of body tightening procedure. If an individual has not much laxity, then liposuction can be combined with a bodytite procedure, which also helps in skin tightening. However, if one has lost a lot of weight and has lots of hanging skin, then some kind of body lift procedure is definitely required.

Patient 2: How much fat can liposuction remove? I want to lose 25 kg of weight. Can it be done in one session?
Answer: Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery; it is a body contouring surgery. So if one’s aim is to lose 25 kg, they are not a candidate for liposuction. Liposuction can help one lose inches and get in shape, but definitely not 25 kg. If a person is aiming to lose 25 kg and they are grossly overweight, they are a candidate for bariatric surgery.

Patient 3: Is double chin liposuction safe?
Answer: Yes, definitely. Double chin liposuction is one of the most frequently performed procedures. This is a short day care procedure. Chin liposuction is completely safe and the recovery is very quick. It can help give one a sharp jawline and a good chin.

Patient 4: Can we remove cheek fat with liposuction?

Answer: When we talk about facial liposuction, we essentially mean the jawline. Cheek is not an area where liposuction can be performed because there are a lot of delicate nerves in that area and one might end up with a crooked smile or an inability to lift the angles of the mouth. Therefore, liposuction is not a good option for cheek fat. However, there is another procedure called buccal fat removal that can help contour the cheeks.

Patient 5: Is it safe to have full body liposuction? Also, can it be done in one go?
Answer: Many patients seek full body liposuction. Before getting the surgery, people must understand that liposuction is a treatment only for people who are close to their ideal weight and have some stubborn areas that do not respond to diet or exercise. For example, in the thighs, one can have fat areas like the inner thighs and outer thighs, which are not going to respond to exercise. In the abdominal area, one might have their love handles or the lower belly, which has a lot of stubborn fat that does not go away with diet or exercise. Similarly, especially women, they might have heavy arms even though the rest of the body might be thin. So, if one belongs to this subset of people whose overall body weight is fine but they have some stubborn fat deposits in various areas of the body, then definitely one can go in for a full body liposuction.

The full body liposuction is not done in one go. The surgeon mostly breaks it up into two stages, depending on the extent of liposuction. Therefore, one can go in for a full body liposuction but only if their aim is to contour and not to lose weight.
