What liposuction can and cannot do

Liposuction takes fat out of specific areas through tiny cuts. It changes shape, not weight. The best candidates are people at or near a healthy weight who have pockets of fat that stay put despite exercise: the lower belly, love handles, inner thighs, upper arms, back, chin and, in men, the chest.

It does not tighten loose skin, remove stretch marks, treat cellulite or replace weight loss. If you have significant loose skin, Dr. Vikrant will tell you at the consultation and suggest a tummy tuck or skin excision instead.

Areas treated

Area Common for Usual anaesthesia
Upper and lower abdomen Women and men General
Flanks (love handles) and back Women and men General
Chest Men (with gynecomastia) General
Thighs (inner, outer) Women Spinal or general
Upper arms Women General or local with sedation
Chin and jawline Women and men Local with sedation

Types of liposuction offered

Standard tumescent liposuction. Fluid containing a local anaesthetic and adrenaline is injected into the fat to reduce bleeding and pain. The fat is then removed with thin cannulas. This is the base technique for most areas.

Power-assisted liposuction. A vibrating cannula breaks up fibrous fat, which helps on the back, flanks and male chest.

HD liposuction and six-pack lipo. Fat is removed in layers and left in place over the muscle grooves, so the abdominal lines show. This suits people who are already lean and who exercise. Starts at ₹1,50,000.

360° liposuction. Abdomen, flanks and back are treated in one session to shape the whole waist rather than just the front.

Fat transfer. The removed fat can be purified and injected into the face, buttocks or breasts, which is useful when patients want volume in one place and less in another.

How the day goes

  1. Consultation. Dr. Vikrant examines the areas, checks skin quality and discusses what is realistic. You get a cost estimate.
  2. Tests. Blood tests, ECG and, depending on age, a chest X-ray and physician review. Stop smoking at least 3 weeks before surgery.
  3. Surgery. Areas are marked while you stand. Under anaesthesia, the fat is removed through 3–5 mm cuts placed in natural creases.
  4. Recovery. You wear a compression garment immediately. Most patients walk the same evening and go home the same day or the next morning.

Recovery timeline

  • Days 1–3: soreness, swelling and fluid leaking from the cuts. Walk every few hours.
  • Week 1: back to desk work and light household work. Stitches come out or dissolve.
  • Weeks 2–4: bruising fades. Light exercise from week 3.
  • Weeks 4–6: garment can come off. Gym and full activity resume.
  • Months 3–6: swelling settles fully and the final shape shows.

Risks

Liposuction is safe in a properly equipped hospital with a trained plastic surgeon and an anaesthetist. Possible problems include uneven contour, numbness, fluid collection (seroma), infection, and rarely blood clots or fat embolism. The risks rise with very large volumes or many areas in one sitting, which is why Dr. Vikrant limits the volume per session and operates at a hospital with an ICU.

Common questions

What is the cost of liposuction in Ranchi?

Liposuction with Dr. Vikrant Ranjan starts at ₹1,00,000 per session. HD or 360° liposuction, which sculpts the whole waist or the abdominal muscle lines, starts at ₹1,50,000. The quote covers the surgeon, theatre and anaesthesia; it can rise with the number of areas, the volume of fat and an overnight stay. You get the final figure after examination.

Who is the best liposuction surgeon in Ranchi?

Look for an MCh or DNB plastic surgeon who operates in a hospital with ICU backup and who will tell you if liposuction is the wrong operation for you. Dr. Vikrant Ranjan holds an MCh in plastic surgery, trained in aesthetic surgery in Ahmedabad and Mumbai, and does liposuction at Jharkhand Charitable Hospital, which has an ICU on site.

How much weight will I lose with liposuction?

Liposuction is not a weight-loss operation. Most patients lose 2–5 kg on the scale, but the visible change in shape is much larger because the fat is taken from the exact places that bother you. It works best if you are within about 10–15 kg of your target weight.

Will the fat come back?

Fat cells removed by liposuction do not grow back. If you gain weight later, the remaining fat cells in all areas get bigger, so a stable weight keeps the result.

Is liposuction painful?

You are asleep or numb during surgery. Afterwards it feels like a deep bruise or a hard gym session for 3–5 days. Tablets control it well.

Can liposuction remove loose skin or stretch marks?

No. Liposuction removes fat. If the skin is loose after pregnancy or big weight loss, a tummy tuck or a combination is the better operation.

Can men get liposuction for a bigger chest or belly?

Yes. Men commonly ask for liposuction of the belly, flanks (love handles) and chest. Chest fat in men is often combined with gland removal, which is gynecomastia surgery.

Can liposuction remove a double chin?

Yes, if the double chin is a pocket of fat under the jaw and the skin still has some elasticity. Chin liposuction is done under local anaesthesia with sedation through a 3–4 mm cut under the chin, and you go home the same day. A receding chin or loose neck skin needs a different treatment. See double chin: liposuction, fillers or Botox.
