Liposuction Surgery in Chennai – Expert Body Contouring & Fat Removal
What is Liposuction?
- Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body to improve contour and proportion.
- The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of fat removal.
- A thin tube (cannula) is inserted through small incisions to break up and suction out fat cells.
- Common techniques include:
- Tumescent Liposuction: Uses a special fluid to reduce bleeding and ease fat removal.
- Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses sound waves to liquefy fat before suctioning.
- Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): Uses laser energy to break down fat cells for easier removal.
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Uses a vibrating cannula to enhance fat removal.
