Breast Liposuction Surgery in Delhi, India

Larger breasts can cause a variety of physical and psychological problems. They include:

• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Feeling uncomfortable about physical appearance

Breast liposuction surgery are often used to improve body appearance and balance irregular shapes. Types of breast liposuction include:

Tumescent Liposuction

This is the most common type of breast liposuction. This procedure involves injecting a solution into the area before the fat is removed. The solution can be up to three times the fat that needs to be removed, consisting of local anaesthesia (lidocaine), IV salt solution, and the drug epinephrine that contracts the blood vessels. Anaesthesia numbs the area while epinephrine reduces blood loss, bruising, and swelling. The IV solution helps to suction out the fat easily.

VASER Lipo Selection (Ultrasound-assisted liposuction)

VASER Lipo method uses ultrasound vibration waves to turn the fat into liquid; later, these liquid cells are vacuumed out. This technique can be used together with the tumescent technique and in follow-up procedures or for greater precision. 

Power Assisted Liposuction

PowerX liposuction cannulas have rotating motorised cannulas, which makes them more precise and less traumatic than conventional liposuction, and it also reduces the surgeon’s efforts, thereby enabling him to treat more areas in less time.

A combination of all three techniques above is often used to make the procedure more effective and also safer as they complement each other. 

Breast liposuction advantages include:

•  Minimum scaring
•  Better shape of the breast
•  Lifting of the breasts
•  Potential to preserve breastfeeding ability
•  Rapid recovery
•  Minimal risk of postoperative complications
•  Only a tiny skin incision needed
•  Less painful
•  Less time consuming
•  Minimal risk of nerves and blood vessels injury

The doctor may ask about the medical history, whether one had a breast lump removed or any other medical condition that can affect the breasts. The surgeon may also take photos and measurements to analyse how much breast tissue needs to be removed. The doctor may also recommend:

1.  MRI of the Breast to confirm and evaluate the fatty component of the Breasts
2.  Blood, urine, and other tests, including Mammogram as indicated

Before the surgical procedure, general anaesthesia is given to relax the patient. The type of surgical method depends on multiple factors, such as the shape and size of the breasts and the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.

1. For the breast liposuction procedure, the surgeon will make small cuts in the breast skin, through which a thin tube is inserted. 
2. Tumescent fluid is injected through this tube.
3. Then, a small ultrasonic probe is inserted inside to liquefy the fat.
4. Then, another hollow cannula is inserted to suck out the fat.

This is a widely used treatment and the best option for small reductions. Depending on the need, the surgeon may also use drainage tubes. The doctor may also recommend wearing a surgical bra.

After the liposuction, one may experience:

1.  Swelling and bruising
2.  Pain, irritation, and discomfort
3.  Temporary numbness in the breast

The doctor may ask to take a few precautionary measures before and after the surgery, such as:

•  Stop drinking 
•  Quit smoking
•  No medications like Aspirin, Vitamin E

These measures will ensure proper healing post-surgery.

The most common complication for breast liposuction is a hematoma. Hematoma is a health condition in which blood is collected outside blood vessels. It can appear under the skin as purplish bruises.

Breast Liposuction Surgery can cause complications such as:

•  Bleeding and infection

•  No extreme physical activity for at least one month.
•  No smoking or drinking
