This procedure is considered by many to improve the way they feel and look.

It is a very effective treatment that removes unwanted, stubborn deposits of fat and reshapes the body contours by creating tiny poke hole incisions that remove the fat. Dr. Parag Telang provides safe and effective liposuction in Abu Dhabi using the latest, most efficacious techniques that help patients to achieve smooth, beautiful contours in the targeted area and a more fit appearance. People often combine liposuction with other surgeries like breas-t augmentation, facelift, and abdominoplasty.

Factors like aging, pregnancy, weight gain, genetics, and medications can result in a stubborn fat deposition that all seem nearly impossible to reduce or eliminate with exercise and a healthy diet. The liposuction treatment provided by Dr. Telang is designed strategically to remove the fat from various body areas, leaving targeted areas with a more aesthetic appearance and improved contours.

During the consultation, Dr. Parag Telang talks with the patients about their goals and expectations with the surgery. After proper physical, blood, and laboratory tests, he gives instructions to prepare for the surgery. This may include some diet changes, alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and smoking restrictions. Patients must also share with their surgeon if they are suffering from any type of allergies and their medical history. This helps one to make an informed decision and achieve the best results.

Procedure of liposuction surgery:

Markings are made in the target area. General or local anesthesia is administered depending upon the extent of surgery. During the liposuction procedure, Dr. Parag makes a small, strategical incision that is only a few millimetres in width. Then a liquid called tumescent solution is inserted into the target area that is going to be suctioned. This solution contains a local anesthetic, saline, and epinephrine. This fluid separates fat globules from one another, and lidocaine is a numbing agent that helps to control pain. The small blood vessels contract, which help to minimize blood loss during the procedure, is caused by the action of epinephrine. Then the surgeon suctions out the fat cells, with the help of cannula, a long sterile metal tube. The cannula contains a blunt tip that helps to minimize trauma caused to the targeted area. The cannula is inserted into the target area and moved in back and forth motion underneath the skin. Then vacuum suction technique helps to remove target excess fat cells to achieve the desired body contour.

Dr. Parag Telang has artistic eyes and is a great sculptor that helps the patient achieve best results. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, and one can return to their home after surgery on the same day. The patient can return to their normal work within a few weeks, and the final results appear approximately in three months.

Note: Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery and does not remove stretch marks and cellulite. The surgery provides aesthetic results and is well suited for one who wants to enhance their appearance and body contour. Dr. Parag, before performing the procedure, discusses with the patient about the pros and cons of the surgery and helps the patient to make an informed decision.

Time of procedure: 2-4 hours.
