Liposuction

Advanced body contouring to sculpt and define your natural shape

About Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most sought-after body contouring procedures worldwide. It's designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, helping you achieve a more sculpted, proportionate silhouette. Dr. Karan Shetty uses advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Important Note:

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution. It's a body sculpting procedure for patients who are already at or near their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat deposits.

The Liposuction Procedure

Before Surgery

Dr. Karan Shetty will conduct a thorough consultation, discuss your goals, mark treatment areas, and provide detailed pre-operative instructions including medication adjustments and fasting guidelines.

During Surgery

Small incisions (3-4mm) are made in discreet locations. Tumescent solution is injected to minimize bleeding and discomfort. A thin cannula is used to gently suction out fat cells. The procedure typically takes 1-3 hours depending on the number of areas treated.

After Surgery

You'll wear a compression garment for 4-6 weeks. Most patients return to desk work within 3-7 days. Swelling peaks at 3-5 days and gradually subsides. Final results visible at 3-6 months as skin retracts and settles.

Dr. Karan Shetty's Approach

"Liposuction is both an art and a science. My goal is not just to remove fat, but to sculpt and contour the body to create natural, harmonious proportions. I take into account your unique anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to deliver results that look like you—just better."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is liposuction permanent?

Yes. Fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight is important for long-lasting results.

How much fat can be removed in one session?

For safety, Dr. Karan Shetty typically removes 3-5 liters of fat per session. Removing larger volumes increases risks and is not recommended.

Will I have scars?

Incisions are very small (3-4mm) and placed in discreet locations like natural creases. Scars fade significantly over 6-12 months and are barely noticeable.

When can I see results?

Initial results are visible immediately, but swelling obscures the final outcome. Results continue to improve over 3-6 months as swelling resolves and skin contracts.

Is liposuction painful?

Discomfort is managed with anesthesia during the procedure. Post-operative soreness is similar to muscle ache after intense exercise and is well-controlled with prescribed pain medication.
