Will I have scars after Liposuction Treatment?
One of the major worries after every surgery is the scar after that surgery. Liposuction remains one of the most popular treatment in India for getting rid of stubborn fat. There is always a concern about liposuction treatment that whether it will leave a scar!
To understand the process of scar, let’s answer some basic questions.
How big is the scar after Liposuction?
Tummy Liposuction
Generally for liposuction three incisions are used of less than 0.5 cm. Three cuts are placed inside the undergarment or bikini line and one inside your navel. These are so small that sometimes they are left open to drain for few days and can close on its own.
There might be two – three additional cuts in the case of six pack abs or high definition liposuction.
For the back liposuction, one cut near the tail bone suffices for taking care of fat in lovehandles and lower back. For upper back liposuction, small cuts of less than 0.5 cm are placed to effectively do liposuction of bra roll.
Hip & Thigh Liposuction
Depending on the sides of hip and thigh which needs liposuction, small cuts are placed that are hidden in natural creases.
Arm Liposuction
