LIPOSUCTION
PRESENTED BY:-
BSc. Nursing 2021 BATCH
INTRODUCTION
? Liposuction is a commonly performed aesthetic procedure aimed
at slimming and reshaping areas of the body by removing excess
fat and improving natural body contour.
? Suction-assisted lipectomy ,more commonly known as
liposuction, is an outpatient procedure that removes adipose
tissue from the subcutaneous space with the goal of achieving
a more desirable body contour.
? It is the second most commonly performed cosmetic surgery.
DEFINITION
Liposuction (lipoplasty) is the elimination of unwanted fat and
persistent pockets of fat in the:
? Abdomen
? Hips
? Thighs
? Buttocks
? Arms
NON-COSMETIC INDICATIONS
? LIPOMAS AND ANGIOLIPOMAS
With no and or minimal scarring.
Lipedema
? In which subcutaneous fat deposition in the lower limbs can affect the daily
activities such as walking etc.
Lymphedema
? Particularly if it is refractory to traditional conservative treatments.
Cervicodorsal lipodystrophy
? Associated with Cushing syndrome and use of HIV medications.
Gynecomastia(male) and macromastia(female )
? In congestion with mammoplasty. Additionally, liposuction can be used to.
Surgeries
? Reduce excess fat deposits at the surgical sites in obese patient who are
undergoing tracheostomy, colostomy , urostomy etc.
Techniques
? Suction-assisted lipectomy
Negative pressure from a syringe applied to a small volume,
blunt tip suction cannula is used to remove fat.
? Ultrasound assisted lipectomy
Transmitting ultrasound energy to emulsify fat prior to its
removal, ultrasonographically assisted lipectomy can be
advantageous in fibrous areas, such as back, chest, and upper
flank, that are more difficult to target in liposuction.
? Laser-assisted lipectomy
It is performed by inserting a laser fiber via a small incision.
Although complications of LAL are rare
? Power-assisted lipectomy
It is performed with an external power source, typically and
electric vacuum pump.
Complications
LOCAL
? Edema, ecchymosis
? Seromas
? Haematomas

? Asymmetry
? Skin necrosis
? Neurological
SYSTEMIC
? Significant blood loss

? Visceral perforation

? DVT,Thromboembolism
? Pulmonary edema
RISK FACTORS

? Tobacco
? Venous thromboembolism
NURSING RESPONSIBILITY
?Detailed examination- assessment of fat deposition
?Frank discussion with patient
?Valid informed consent prior to surgery must be obtained
?Pre-operative records- weight , measurements and
photographs must be maintained.
?Adequate sterilization of instruments must be ensured.
?Pre-operative antibiotics are recommended as per hospital or

?Measures to prevent DVT must be employed routinely
?Adequate monitoring in pre and post operative sequelae.
