Is non-surgical liposuction safe?

Posted by Dr.DebrajShome on November 28th, 2017

Appearances make the first impressions. As various industries across the market put the chiselled, Greek-god(ess) on a high pedestal, there are many who struggle with achieving those delicate curves and tight eight-packs. In order to assist the world in gaining an attractive physique, liposuction was invented, wherein the fat cells stored at certain locations in the body were targeted and removed, leaving the person fat-free and on a less difficult path to shaping up. Although it became popular beyond all imagination, it was still something that left quite a few people with disturbing side-effects. This eventually led to the development of non-invasive liposuction procedures, which have now started to tilt public towards them. Given the fact that non-surgical liposuction techniques were developed as an improvement over the invasive techniques, is non-surgical liposuction actually safe? Let’s find out.

Technique differences: Surgical and Non-surgical fat reduction

How safe a procedure is ultimately depends on the technique employed and its collateral impact on the body. The surgical procedure consists of administering anaesthesia, making incisions, dislodging fat cells and ultimately suctioning them up. Although you get to see immediate results, this procedure poses risks of scarring, bruising, irritation, swelling, soreness, numbness, and other symptoms if not done properly. On the other hand, the non-surgical procedure does not involve making any incision whatsoever, thus eliminating the risk of scarring and irritation. The non-surgical procedure may induce some swelling and soreness, but it will go away eventually.

The Pro-Con balance

Safety of a procedure can be measured with a pro-con balance scale – and not with numbers, but with effects. While the surgical procedure allows you to witness immediate results and with practically no follow up required, it also poses certain really heavy risks that might prompt you to go back to dieting and exercising. You could get scarred for life, you could develop permanent stretchmarks, and there may be instances where your skin ends up changing colour permanently. With the non-surgical procedure, you do have the advantage of reducing these risks to a temporary level where time can take care of things. However, the results will not be immediate and you may be required to take recurring sessions before you can actually see fat dissolving away.

The verdict

Non-surgical liposuction in Mumbai is certainly safer than its surgical variation, for the reason that side-effects are lesser in number and intensity both. All cosmetic procedures do come with inherent, unavoidable risks in the package, which can be easily addressed if a genuine professional is carrying out these procedures.
