Liposuction in Dubai: Procedure, Cost, and Risks (2022)

As the name indicates, liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets specific body parts with suction to remove excessive fat. These body areas include the neck, chin, arms, chest, thighs, belly, buttocks, and hips. Liposuction also gives shape to these areas.

 

Liposuction was the world’s second most popular cosmetic surgical operation in 2020 and was done 1,525,197 times worldwide.

The number of procedures conducted in 2020 was 10.5% lower than in 2019.

Liposuction Procedure – is done in the following steps.

Step 1: Anesthesia

The first step involves anesthetizing the patient. Local anesthetic, intravenous sedation, and general anesthesia are the options. The doctor decides the ideal anesthetic option.

Step 2: The Incision

Small, undetectable incisions are made during liposuction. A diluted local anesthetic is first administered to stop bleeding and lessen the pain. The extra fat is then carefully loosened using a controlled back-and-forth motion using a narrow hollow tube, or cannula, placed into the incisions. A surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula is used to suck the loosening fat out of the body.

Step 3: The Outcome
Your body contour becomes visible when swelling and fluid retention, usual after liposuction, go down. Once the operation is over, treated areas may be covered with elastic bandages. These aid in edema reduction and skin compression to your new body contours

Who is the right candidate?

People with healthy skin tone and elasticity, where the skin can mold to new contours, respond well to liposuction. Those with thin, elastic skin may experience loose-looking skin where the treatment was performed.

 

The applicant must be at least 18 years old and in excellent health. Liposuction should not be done on people with circulatory or blood flow issues, such as diabetes, coronary artery disease, or weakened immune systems.

Cost

According to the data provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of liposuction is $3,637. Anesthesia, operating room equipment, and other related expenses are not included in this average cost,

Risks Involved

There are some risks because cosmetic surgery is still surgery. By ensuring that it is performed solely by a cosmetic surgeon with specialized training and board certification, you may assist in reducing them. You must nevertheless take into account a number of potential hazards that are directly connected to liposuction, including:

  • Bleeding
  • Problems resulting from anesthesia
  • Shock (usually from not getting enough fluid during surgery)
  • Fluid encumbrance (pockets of fluid forming under the skin)
  • Infections (strep, staph)
  • Obese embolism (when tiny pieces of fat break away and block blood flow)
  • Instrumental burns
  • Uneven fat removal
  • Damage to the muscles, lungs, blood vessels, nerves, and abdominal organs

Results

Liposuction is not performed to treat obesity but to improve physical appearance.

It is recommended only when other lifestyle changes have failed to yield the desired results. Liposuction treats the fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction should only be performed after careful consideration.
