The Ultimate Guide to Liposuction in Pattaya

Consider getting liposuction in Pattaya, Thailand if you’ve lost the weight, but you still have those stubborn areas of fat that just need to go. Liposuction (lipo) gets rid of fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

Am I a good candidate for Liposuction?

You may be if:

• Your weight is in the normal range
• You might have some disproportionate fat deposits that don't respond to normal diet and exercise.
• Common areas are abdomen, hips, thighs or male breasts.
• Around or under the age of 35 as skin elasticity is important in conforming to the new body shape and it degenerates as we get older.

What happens during Liposuction?

You may get local anesthesia (only the area affected will be numb), intravenous (IV) sedation (you’ll be extremely relaxed), or general anesthesia (you’ll be asleep).

The surgeon will then make a small incision and infuse medications into the area to reduce pain and ease the process. Using a cannula (thin hollow tube) that is attached to a vacuum, your surgeon will then move it back and forth, suctioning dislodged fat from the area.

Lipo is usually an out patient procedure, but sometimes you may have the option for an overnight hospital stay.

Techniques

There are a few other lipo techniques, but the safest and most common uses micro-cannulas. These “Micro” cannulas are about 2.8mm, and allow for more control.

Fat cells are infused with saline/local anesthetic/adrenalin mix. This combo increases safety, eases the removal process, and makes for a less uncomfortable recovery.

Lasers and ultrasound devices can assist in the micro-cannula liposuction procedure. Both the laser method and ultrasound method work to dissolve the fat, making it easier to extract via cannula.

How long will the procedure take to do?

The surgery could take anywhere from two to seven hours – depending upon the anesthesia type, as well as the size and number of areas being treated.

What does the recovery process look like?

You may have to wear a compression garment some time after the surgery, to provide support, help in pain and inflammation reduction. You’ll want to take it easy at first.

Depending on the area you have done, you can return to work in about a week, get back to low impact exercise in about a month. In about 3 months you’ll see more apparent results, and final results will stun you at 6 months.
