Procedure Details

Performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the area and extent. Small incisions allow a thin cannula to suction fat from beneath the skin, sculpting the treated area. Duration ranges from about 1-3 hours depending on the number of areas treated.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-3 Swelling, bruising and soreness are expected; compression garments are worn continuously.
  2. Week 1 Return to light daily activity; compression garment continues.
  3. Week 2-3 Return to work and light exercise as swelling reduces.
  4. Week 6 Most swelling has resolved and the new contour is visible.
  5. Month 3-6 Final result apparent as any residual swelling fully settles.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Irregular or uneven contour
  • !Skin laxity if elasticity is poor
  • !Temporary numbness in treated areas
  • !Fluid accumulation (seroma)
  • !Infection or, rarely, fat embolism
  • !Asymmetry between treated sides

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No - it contours specific stubborn fat deposits and works best for people already near a stable, healthy weight.
Will the fat come back?
Fat cells removed do not return, but remaining fat cells can still enlarge with significant weight gain.
How many areas can be treated at once?
This depends on your health and the total volume being removed - discussed individually for safety.
How soon will I see results?
Initial improvement is visible once swelling reduces around 3-4 weeks, with the final contour by 3-6 months.
