Liposuction Surgery in Lahore – Cost, Benefits, Side Effects & How to Book

No. Liposuction is performed using our state-of-the-art technique of tumescent liposuction. There is no need of general anesthesia or hospitalization. At most of the centers in Pakistan liposuction is performed using general anesthesia. We are one of the very few centers performing liposuction using local anesthesia. Patient is allowed to go home within a couple of hours after the procedure. Patients who are afraid of the operation and surgeries may be given slight sedation in which they are in twilight sleep and wake up immediately after the surgery is over. Patients can resume their daily routine activities in 1 to 2 days. Again, it is light sedation, not general anesthesia

The word Tumescent means to swell or make something hard. In the tumescent technique of liposuction, a special fluid in injected under the patients skin to swell and lift the skin and fat away from the sensitive body organs thereby protecting them from damage while the fat is being sucked out. Also, this fluid closes down the blood vessels during the surgery inorder to minimize the blood loss. Since injecting this fluid makes the skin temporarily swollen during the procedure, it gives this technique the name Tumescent liposuction. At COSMETIQUE Surgery Center, Lahore liposuction is performed using this latest tumescent technique. Performed in this way, liposuction becomes a far safer and more comfortable outpatient procedure without the need for general anesthesia and hospitalization. The traditional old method of Liposuction surgery had two major problems � general anesthesia (with all its potential complications), and heavy blood loss. Tumescent liposuction method eliminates these two serious safety considerations since general anesthesia is not being employed and patient has almost no blood loss during or after the surgery. Administering tumescent fluid to the area being treated greatly diminishes the risk of bleeding and after the surgery patient remains pain-free as opposed to the old method in which patients needed heavy pain killers and admission to the intensive care units. We perform liposuction using non-power-assisted, small instruments, that helps in increasing patient safety and allowing us greater control in removing fat.

Yes. In fact our surgeons have published their results of more than 5000 cases performed with their latest technique in world renowned peer reviewed Journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Peer reviewed journals are the most credible scientific publications printed for the education and experience sharing amongst credible doctors. Many surgeons claim to have performed �thousands of procedures� but fail to publish in such reputable journals as it is difficult for them to convince their peers that their method works. At COSMETIQUE Cosmetic Surgery Center, we perform liposuction using the latest tumescent technique. Improved techniques and latest instruments, coupled with our experience in performing literally thousands of procedures, we have successfully produced balanced, natural-looking results, minimizing hollows and dimpling that can be associated with traditional liposuction surgery. While not a cure for obesity, body contouring liposuction can be used to recontour and shape up the body, face, legs and arms by removing tenacious fat deposits that haven responded well to dieting and exercise.

The charges include surgeon fee, operation theat½s fee, medicines needed during the procedure and the fee of other doctors included in the team. While the cost of liposuction in Pakistan is a fraction of what one would have to pay in the west, we still maintain the highest level of sterilization, international standard operating room, and the most qualified staff with the most competitive board certifications from the United States performing the liposuction in Pakistan. Generally the whole package including all these fees ranges between Rs.50000/- and Rs.140,000 (Approx. US $ 600 to $1600), depending on how much fat and how many areas need to be treated. The exact cost can only be quoted after examination of the patient during initial consultation. If you could send us the front and side photos of the sites that you wish to get liposuction on, we will be glad to give you the approximate quote. You can e-mail pictures using our site or e-mail to info@cosmetique.com.pk or photo@cosmetique.com.pk.

Localized liposuction is a targeted method to focus on and treat small areas of the body e.g., fat lump on the back of neck(buffalo hump),lower legs, knees or ankles, if they develop minor and disproportionate fullness. Once the minor fullness is reduced, the natural shape of the targeted area can be appreciated. Localized area liposuction has helped us to achieve a natural, pleasing contour for many of our patients.

Once a fat cell has been removed, the body does not replace it. That means that a patient who has had liposuction on her inner thigh should not see that area bulge again. However, unhealthy eating and a sedentary lifestyle will still result in weight gain, and fat cells will increase in size � just somewhere other than the specific site of liposuction. The good news is that post-liposuction weight gain, should it occur, occurs in areas that are responsive to diet and exercise.

The liposuction procedure itself lasts from about 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the number of locations and the amount of fat being removed.

Patient goes home in a couple of hours, after the surgery. We perform surgery in our world class out-patient surgery suite. Since no general anesthesia is used, the recovery is immediate. Our patients are up on their feet almost immediately after the procedure, and most return to work and normal activities within a day or two. We recommend and provide the patients with a tight compression garment to wear under the clothes for a few weeks after the liposuction.
