Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

The best candidate for liposuction is someone who:

• Has firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
• Is in good health and has no medical conditions that could damage healing
• Is a nonsmoker
• Has a positive outlook and faithful expectations for the procedure

Liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, but it can be used to remove stubborn pockets of fat that do not reply to diet and regular exercise. It is also important to note that liposuction will not remove cellulite or stretch marks.

To determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction, it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Omamah Yusuf. She will be able to assess your individual needs and goals, and help you determine if liposuction is the right treatment for you.

Here are some additional factors that may be considered when defining if you are a decent candidate for liposuction treatment:

• Your age
• Your body type
• The area(s) of your body where you want to have liposuction performed
• Your medical history
• Your lifestyle

If you are unsure whether or not you are a good candidate for liposuction, it is always best to speak with Dr. Omamah Yusuf. She will be able to answer your questions and help you make the best decision for your individual needs. If you are interested for liposuction in Islamabad, contact Dr. Omamah today!

Liposuction involves removing fat by inserting a small tube through tiny incisions close to the affected area. Incisions are very small. Normally, a fluid is first injected in to the area to assist in separating the fat cells and to reduce the degree of bleeding. The fat is then removed with the cannula, and with the assistance of energy technologies such as ultrasound, laser or radio frequency.

The surgical staff of Dr. Omamah Yusuf will ensure your comfort and safety throughout the liposuction procedure. The procedure may be done under a general or local anesthetic. Following liposuction, you will be taken into our recovery area where you will be closely monitored.

• Immediate Post-Procedure: You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal and naturally decrease within a few days to a week.
• First Week: Most patients can return to light activities and work within a few days to a week, depending on the extent of the liposuction and their personal comfort level.
• 2 to 6 Weeks: Swelling and bruising continue to improve. During this time, you should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting. Compression garments are often recommended to reduce swelling and support the healing process.
• 6 Weeks and Beyond: Most swelling should subside, and you can usually resume all normal activities, including exercise. The final results of liposuction can typically be seen at this point, but remaining swelling might take a few more months to fully resolve.

The timeline for seeing the results of liposuction can vary from person to person, but here is a general overview:

• Immediate Aftermath: Right after the procedure, you may notice some initial changes, but swelling and bruising will obscure the final results.
• First Few Weeks: Within the first few weeks, much of the swelling and bruising will begin to decrease. However, it can still take time for your body to adjust and for the skin to settle into its new contours.
• 1 to 3 Months: You will start to see more noticeable results as the swelling continues to decrease. By this time, most patients can see a significant improvement in the treated areas.
• 3 to 6 Months: The final results of liposuction typically become fully visible after three to six months. By this point, all the swelling should have resolved, and the skin should have tightened around the treated areas.

It’s important to note that individual recovery rates can vary based on factors such as the amount of fat removed, the areas treated, and your overall health. Following Dr. Omamah Yusuf post-operative care instructions can also impact the speed and quality of your results.

Liposuction is a generally safe procedure, especially when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Omamah Yusuf. However, like any surgery, there are some risks involved.

The most common risks of liposuction include:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Bruising and swelling
• Fluid accumulation
• Contour irregularities

More serious risks, but less common, include:

• Deep vein thrombosis
• Fat embolism
• Anesthesia complications
• Kidney and heart problems

The risk of complications is higher when liposuction is performed on large areas of the body, or when multiple areas are treated at the same time. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of liposuction with Dr. Omamah before deciding whether or not to have the procedure.

To reduce your risk of complications, it is important to follow doctor's instructions carefully before and after surgery. This includes eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and getting regular exercise.

Here are some tips for staying safe during and after liposuction:

• Choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon.
• Be honest with us about your medical history and lifestyle.
• Follow our instructions carefully before and after surgery.
• Take your medications as prescribed.
• Get plenty of rest.
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Avoid strenuous activity until doctor clears you.

Liposuction carries risks, such as bleeding and a reaction to anesthesia. Your skin may appear bumpy, wavy or withered due to uneven fat removal, poor skin flexibility and unusual healing.
