Liposuction is a procedure where a small tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny holes in the body. In the areas where is performed, fat is suctioned out. During liposuction, fat is removed without causing harm to other organs, and this process is known as liposuction.

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Mumbai
A Tummy Tuck and Liposuction have the advantage of removing excess fat through small incisions. In a Tummy Tuck, we cut and remove both extra skin and fat from the lower abdomen. Along with Tummy Tuck, we often perform Liposuction to achieve better results.
With Tummy Tuck, we address loose muscles inside, which can widen due to weight gain or childbirth. This condition is called Rectal Divarication or umbilical hernia. We repair it from the inside, making it safer and aesthetically pleasing.
However, Tummy Tuck does leave a scar on the lower abdomen. If you choose to have Liposuction on two areas at the same time, you can get a more reasonable price.
Recovery
The recovery time for Liposuction is usually 5-7 days, while for Tummy Tuck, it’s longer, ranging from 10-15 days. This is because Tummy Tuck involves repairing the skin from the inside and tightening it, so walking in a slightly bent position is required for a few days.
In terms of surgery time, Liposuction takes approximately 1-3 hours, while Tummy Tuck surgery usually takes 3-5 hours.
The complete recovery for Liposuction usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, while for Tummy Tuck, it takes at least 1 to 2 months for full recovery.
After 3 to 4 days, the dressing is removed, and the patient can take a shower.
After 5 to 6 days, pain decreases, allowing you to return to work.
Swelling typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks.
Optimizing Liposuction Recovery: Strategic Incisions and Gravity-Assisted Drainage
During Liposuction, we make two incisions under each breast, one on the side (oblique area), and if necessary, two behind your love handles. The incisions behind love handles consider gravity, allowing fluid to drain out. By leaving these incisions open, any blood or excess fluid can come out when you waking up. This approach helps minimize swelling and bruising, resulting in a faster recovery. heading
Liposuction Mumbai and Tummy Tuck cost in India
Talking about costs, Liposuction tends to be less expensive because it takes less time and is faster. On the other hand, Tummy Tuck is generally more expensive due to the longer duration and additional procedures involved.
When we do Liposuction on the chin or cheek, the area is smaller, so the charges are lower. If we perform it on the arms or abdominal area, the charges increase. The presence of love handles also adds to the cost. It depends on how much fat needs to be removed and if someone is already in good shape or if it’s a celebrity or actor in the film industry who wants a slight improvement, the charges may be lower.
That’s why we see that the cost of Liposuction can range from INR 40,000 to INR 200,000.
Will there be visible marks on my body after undergoing?
Whether leaves a mark or not depends on the size of the incision. No marks are visible if the incision is small. Dr. Gaurav Shalya performs liposuction with small incisions, so there is no visible mark.

However, like any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if liposuction is suitable for you.
