What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring surgery that removes stubborn localized fat which does not respond to diet and exercise. It is designed to reshape body proportions, not to treat obesity.
Dr. Dushyanth combines safe fat-removal techniques with artistic contour planning to create natural-looking silhouettes while preserving smooth transitions between treated and untreated areas.

How It Works
Understanding Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from specific areas of the body. Unlike weight loss, which shrinks fat cells, liposuction physically eliminates them — those cells do not grow back. Understanding what the surgery can and cannot do helps set realistic expectations.
What the Surgery Actually Does
A thin cannula is inserted through small incisions and moved through the fat layer to dislodge and suction out fat cells. The tumescent technique — injecting a saline, adrenaline, and local anaesthetic solution into the target area before removal — reduces bleeding significantly and allows precise work. Patients can have multiple zones treated in a single session, subject to safe volume limits.
Tumescent vs VASER Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is the standard for most cases: safe, proven, and effective across all body zones. VASER uses ultrasound energy to liquefy fat before removal, which is useful in fibrous areas like the back and male chest, and offers a mild skin-tightening effect. Dr. Dushyanth recommends the technique based on anatomy and goals, not preference.
Safe Volume Limits Per Session
The medically accepted safe limit for fat removal in a single session is approximately 5 litres. Removing more increases the risk of fluid imbalance and complications. Patients requiring larger volume corrections may be advised to stage the procedure across two sessions separated by adequate recovery time.
Who Gets the Best Results
Ideal candidates are within 30% of their goal weight, have localised fat deposits that do not reduce with diet or exercise, and have good skin elasticity. Patients with significantly loose or sagging skin may need a combined approach — liposuction alone will not tighten skin. Stable weight for at least 6 months before surgery helps preserve long-term results.
What Liposuction Cannot Fix
Liposuction does not reduce cellulite, remove stretch marks, tighten loose skin, or treat obesity. It is not a substitute for weight loss. Patients expecting transformation without lifestyle maintenance are likely to be disappointed. The surgery works best as the final step once a patient is at or near their goal weight.
Recovery and Final Results
Most patients return to desk work within 3–5 days. A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks to control swelling and support the new contour. Visible improvement begins at 4–6 weeks as swelling reduces. Final results — including the full contour — settle between 3 and 6 months post-surgery.
