Men Surgery

Liposuction is a medical surgery which helps a person to look slim and reshape specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits. This also helps in improving body contours.

Liposuction can be opted if a person fails to lose weight from diet and exercise. The unsightly distribution of body fat is usually due to an inborn tendency to deposit fat in one area of the body, most commonly the hips. Other areas include; the neck, arms, tummy, loins, thighs, inner side of the knees and the ankles.

When an individual gains weight, the fat cells also increases in size and volume. Liposuction helps in reducing the number of fat cells.

Reduce Chest Fat

Gynecomastia is the medical term used for male Breasts reduction. It is a medical condition in which male breasts tissues are enlarged.

Gynecomastia is the most common reason for medical evaluation of the male breast. Some men have excess fat on the chests which looks like they have breasts, this is known as false Gynecomastia (Pseudo Gynecomastia).

Some men ignore this while others are very keen and concerned and opt for surgical correction. Rarely, the breast enlargement can be caused by medicines (for high blood pressure, heart disease and prostate cancer), drugs (such as marijuana and anabolic steroids), some diseases (such as liver failure and some cancers) and some very rare congenital abnormalities (errors of development that one is born with.

Most teenage boys experience some degree of breast enlargement affecting one or both breasts. However, by early adulthood less than 10% have a residual problem.

Arms

Fluctuations in weight and growing older can cause your upper arms to have a dropping, sagging appearance. This condition cannot be corrected by exercises. The sagging skin which hangs out after massive weight loss causes problems to wear right clothes, causes embarrassment. This can be corrected by a surgical procedure known as Arm Lift.

Removing the excess skin caused by weight loss or natural aging can tighten loose skin that extends from the underarm area to the elbow; liposuction is sometimes used in combination to achieve the best results.
The procedure will be dictated by your skin quality and the extent of excess underarm fat and skin. Your surgeon will help you make the right choice based on your anatomy and preferences.

Liposuction: Arm liposuction is an option for you if your skin has enough elasticity to shrink around the remaining tissues after your fat is removed. If your skin has poor elasticity, tissue sagging will be even more pronounced after fat is removed. Liposuction may also be used as an adjunct for fat removal in a standard brachioplasty procedure.

Liposuction may also be used as an adjunct for fat removal in a standard brachioplasty procedure. Standard brachioplasty:

If your excess skin extends like a bat wing from the armpit to the elbow, the only option is complete removal of the arm flab in a standard brachioplasty.

Extended brachioplasty: An extended arm lift is similar to a standard brachioplasty, except that the incision is extended along the arm down to the body to include loose skin and fatty tissue that might be just under the arm area along the side of the chest wall. Loose skin in that area is common in patients who have had massive weight loss.

Thighs

A thigh lift is a procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from either the inner or outer thighs. This is often desirable after substantial or bariatric weight loss or in individuals for whom dieting and exercise have failed to reduce excess tissue in their upper thighs. Liposuction may be used as an adjunct to the recontouring of the inner thigh. If you are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a moderate weight, a thigh lift can help you regain the youthful thigh contours you desire.

How is a thigh lift procedure performed?

Medial (inner) thigh lift: An incision is made in the groin area, and any excess fat and skin are excised along the inner aspect of the thigh. Liposuction may be but is not always included in this procedure, depending on your individual requirements. The area from the groin to the knee is recontoured and the procedure is repeated for the other thigh. If a more substantial wedge of tissue is removed, the procedure is called a thighplasty.

Lateral (outer) thigh lift: This is a more complex procedure, usually involving recontouring of the buttocks as well as the outer thighs and removal of more tissue. Scarring is more extensive, and the skin will be less elastic after the surgery, so weight should be maintained.

Abdomen

In order to properly treat the entire central abdomen, Dr. Nageshwari Sharma addresses all four quadrants of the abdomen. In this way, the treatment is consistent through the entire stomach. When only one area of the abdomen is treated, the untreated area may bulge over time, leading to an uneven and disproportionate appearance. Because Dr. Nageshwari Sharma treats the entire abdomen as a single unit, it leads to long-lasting tightened contours.

In treating the central abdomen, there are several aspects the doctor keeps in mind.

Approaching the abdomen from multiple angles, preventing treatment irregularities and a donut of fat around the belly button

Identifying when patients have poor skin elasticity, allowing him to be conservative in his approach without leaving an empty skin envelope after treatment

Applying the cannula parallel to the skin surface, preventing dimpling or unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues

How is Liposuction Performed?

Liposuction removes fat from your body using suction. In this procedure, small, thin, blunt-tipped tubes (cannula) are inserted through small cuts in the skin. Your plastic surgeon moves these tubes under your skin to target fat deposits and then suction them out. There are a variety of techniques that facilitate liposuction:

Tumescent liposuction describes a “wetting solution” with a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine and another medication in IV fluids, which is injected before surgery, causing blood vessels to shrink down or constrict. This allows liposuction to be performed with the patient under local anesthesia, minimizes blood loss and reduces postsurgical pain and bleeding.

Suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), the most traditional form of liposuction, draws fat out with a vacuum.

Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is traditional SAL with the addition of a tool to increase the motion of the cannula, which speeds up fat removal.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) transmits energy through a special hand piece that helps to loosen and melt fat, enabling a greater volume of fat to be removed. This is best for larger areas, dense fat and male patients.

VASER, a variation of UAL, is an ultrasonic cannula with several grooves that evenly disperse the energy, improving fat disruption and removal.

Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL), such as Smartlipo and Slimlipo, is a relatively new technology. The theory is that the laser will work like ultrasound to disrupt the fat cells and make fat removal more efficient and less traumatic

What will my liposuction incisions and scars be like?

Because liposuction incisions are small, the scars are also small.
The amount or degree of scarring depends on the surgeon’s technique and your genetic tendencies.
Most liposuction scars fade and are barely perceptible over time.
There are two types of marks that can remain on the skin after liposuction. One is a true scar and the other is known as dyschromia, which is a dark (hyperpigmented) or light (hypopigmented) spot on the skin.

Generally, the incisions are very small and placed in hidden areas. Sometimes, depending on the area, the incisions cannot be hidden.

Selecting a Surgeon

Choose your surgeon based on quality, training and experience—not cost. It's important that you choose a right surgeon based on:

Education, training and certification
Experience with liposuction surgery
Your comfort level with him or her

After finding a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area who is experienced in performing liposuction surgery, you will need to make an office appointment to set up your consultation. Generally, because of the in-depth nature of the consultation, there is a cost associated with the initial visit.

How do I prepare for a liposuction procedure?

Dr. Nageshwari will provide you with preoperative instructions, answer any questions you may have, take a medical detailed medical history and perform a physical exam to determine your fitness for surgery.

In advance of your procedure, your surgeon will ask you to:

Stop smoking before undergoing surgery to better promote healing.
Avoid taking aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory drugs and some herbal medications that can cause increased bleeding.
Regardless of the type of surgery to be performed, hydration is very important before and after surgery for safe recovery.
Your comfort level with him or herIf your surgeon recommends weight benchmarks or lifestyle changes, do your best to achieve them to ensure the best results and minimize the chance of complications.

What can I expect on the day of liposuction surgery?

Most liposuction procedures take ninety minutes or less to complete but may take longer depending on how much fat is removed and the number of liposuction sites. If multiple sites on both sides of the body are suctioned, the procedure could take over three hours.

You will receive medications to make you as comfortable as possible during the surgical procedure. General anesthesia is sometimes desirable.
For your safety during the operation, various monitors are used to check your heart, blood pressure, pulse and the amount of oxygen circulating in your blood.
Dr. Nageshwari will follow the surgical plan discussed with you before surgery. Once the operation has begun, she may decide to combine various techniques or change a technique to ensure the best result. It is important that you feel comfortable and trust your doctor to make these decisions.
After surgery, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. You will most likely be wearing a compression garment to help “shrink” the skin.

Aftercare and Recovery

Dr. Nagehwari will discuss how long it will be before you can return to your normal level of activity and work. After surgery, you and your caregiver will receive detailed instructions about your postsurgical care, including information about:

Drains, if they have been placed
Normal symptoms you will experience
Any potential signs of complications

It is vitally important that you follow all patient care instructions provided by Dr. Nageshwari. This will include information about wearing compression garments, taking an antibiotic, if prescribed, and the level of activity that is safe. Dr. Nageshwari will also provide detailed instructions about the normal symptoms you will experience and any potential signs of complications. It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals.

How Long Will the Results Last?

The results of liposuction surgery are technically permanent because fat cells have been removed. However, your body shape and contours might be affected by weight gain, aging, pregnancy, family genes and lifestyle factors.

It is crucial to maintain healthy habits and a stable weight to maintain liposuction results. Following liposuction, if you continue to eat excess calories, fat will no longer be stored in the cells that have been removed, but will be stored in other body areas.

There is no way to predict where your body will store new fat. What's more, your surgeon will not remove all the fat cells from your target area, so you could still increase the size of remaining fat cells in that area.

Stop smoking before undergoing surgery to better promote healing.
Avoid taking aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory drugs and some herbal medications that can cause increased bleeding.
Regardless of the type of surgery to be performed, hydration is very important before and after surgery for safe recovery.

Risks

Fortunately, significant complications from liposuction surgery are infrequent. Your specific risks will be discussed during your consultation.

All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Some of the potential complications of all surgeries are:

Adverse reaction to anesthesia
Hematoma or seroma (an accumulation of blood or fluid under the skin that may require removal)
Infection and bleeding
Changes in sensation
Scarring
Allergic reactions
Damage to underlying structures
Unsatisfactory results that may necessitate additional procedures
