Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most sought-after body contouring procedures performed by Dr. Asheesh Dhingra at Olive Skin & Aesthetics. This surgical technique permanently removes stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, sculpting a slimmer and more proportionate silhouette.

The goal of liposuction is to refine body contours by targeting localised fat pockets in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and back. Patients benefit from improved proportions, enhanced self-confidence, and results that complement a healthy lifestyle.

• Adults within 15–20% of their ideal body weight with localised fat deposits
• Individuals with good skin elasticity and muscle tone
• Non-smokers in overall good health without chronic medical conditions
• Patients who have maintained a stable weight for at least six months
• Those with realistic expectations about body contouring outcomes

Liposuction is typically performed under general anaesthesia or tumescent local anaesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment. The procedure takes 1–3 hours and involves small incisions through which a thin cannula is inserted to loosen and suction out fat cells.

Dr. Dhingra utilises power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and VASER ultrasound-assisted techniques to improve precision and reduce tissue trauma. These advanced methods allow for smoother results, less bruising, and faster patient recovery compared to traditional approaches.

• Days 1–3: Moderate swelling and bruising; compression garment worn continuously; light walking encouraged.
• Days 4–7: Most patients return to desk work; discomfort managed with prescribed pain relief.
• Weeks 2–4: Swelling gradually subsides; gentle daily activities resumed; follow-up visit to assess healing.
• Weeks 4–6: Light exercise permitted; contour improvements become visible as swelling resolves.
• Months 3–6: Final results apparent; skin retracts and settles around new contours.
