What is SLIM DOWN LIPOSUCTION?

Also known as Lipo, it is one of the most commonly done plastic surgery procedures for body contouring. This method of lipo not only removes the unwanted stubborn fat but also makes the patient look slimmer and fitter.

Slim down liposuction can be done as a stand alone procedure, or it can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures like fat transfer, tummy tuck or breast surgeries.

How does he do it?

It is a 3 step process involving :

  • Infiltration (fluid-in) : 

Tumescent fluid is injected in the fat to make it soft, easy to remove, to make the area painless and to prevent bleeding during the procedure.

  • Use of energy based devices : 

Dr. Ganatra uses modern techniques of vaser and/or Renuvion (J plasma) for skin tightening and for sculpturing.

  • Aspiration (fat-out) : Fat is sucked out using various cannulas using a power assisted liposuction technique (PAL)

Candidates : 

  1. BMI less than 30
  2. Patients upto 40% body fat
  3. Mild to moderate visceral fat

This is a trending procedure for those with thin layer of fat who are unable to reveal their abs despite their intense workout regime and healthy diet.

How does he do it?

It is a 3 step process involving :

  • Infiltration (fluid-in) : 

Tumescent fluid is injected in the fat to make it soft and easy to remove, to make the area painless and to prevent bleeding during the procedure.

  • Use of energy based devices : 

He uses modern techniques of vaser and/or Renuvion (J plasma) for skin tightening and for sculpting.

  • Aspiration (fat-out) : Fat is sucked out using various cannulas using a power assisted liposuction technique (PAL). Fat is extracted without leaving fat blobs over the muscles to avoid a fake six pack (fat pack) appearance. Following this, the natural grooves around the muscles are defined using special cannulas and artistic skills to reveal an athletic physique.

Being an avid sculptor himself, he uses those skills in defining the muscular anatomy by highlighting abdominal muscles (abs/6 packs, obliques, serratus), back and thigh muscles and calves.

Candidates : 

  1. Ideal or near ideal BMI 
  2. Patients upto 20% body fat
  3. Minimal to no visceral fat
  4. Minimal to no skin laxity
  5. Good muscle tone
  6. Following a vigorous exercise regime
  7. Realistic expectations

Note : A surgeon cannot create six packs, but can only highlight them with his skills after removing the stubborn fat layer. An ideal candidate must be motivated to pursue a strict exercise regime and a healthy diet to achieve optimal results.

This procedure is usually done in patients who have lost a lot of weight or in women with previous pregnancies as a part of mommy makeover.

Dr. Ganatra doesn’t prefer patients with a lot of visceral fat for tummy tuck as the muscles have tendency to get separated due to increase intra-abdominal pressure after the repair. Such patients are asked to loose a good amount of visceral fat following which the surgery is performed.
