What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that cannot be managed through diet and exercise. Liposuction is typically done by inserting a thin tube (cannula) into the targeted area and suctioning out the unwanted fat. Liposuction is often used to enhance body contours, but it is not a weight loss method and should not be a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Liposuction is performed by trained surgeons like Dr. Omamah Yusuf and can be used on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, chin, calves, back, and more.

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 Procedure

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.


How long does it take to recover from a liposuction?

Liposuction allows for an almost immediate return to most daily activities, and exercise programs can resume within two to three weeks (depends upon individual to individual).

How long does it take to see the results of liposuction?

You can expect to see positive effects from your surgery within three weeks (depends upon individual to individual), but a final result may not be evident until a year or more after surgery. This time is necessary for swelling to resolve and for tissue tightening to be complete.

How safe is liposuction treatment?

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.
