The Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. For small to moderate areas, IV sedation and local anesthesia are often sufficient. In cases involving a large volume of fat removal, general anesthesia may be recommended, and an overnight hospital stay could be advised.

In this procedure, a tumescent solution is injected into the area to numb it and minimize bleeding. Then, small incisions are made, and thin suction tubes called cannulas are inserted to remove excess fat. These cannulas are carefully moved in controlled motions to ensure smooth, even results. The incisions are very small, typically around 3mm, and are placed in discreet locations when possible. Afterward, a compression garment is applied to support healing and minimize swelling.

Post-Op Recovery

You will return home the same day, wearing your compression garment unless otherwise advised by your surgeon. This garment must be worn for several weeks to aid healing and optimize your final result.

During follow-up visits, your progress will be monitored, and you will be checked to make sure you are healing properly. Any discomfort is typically manageable with oral medication.

FAQ’s

Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

Healthy people who have stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diets and exercise are good candidates.

When will I see the results from liposuction?

Initial improvements are visible soon after surgery, but full results will emerge as swelling subsides, usually over 1 to 3 months.

How long do the results last?

Liposuction results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a balanced lifestyle. Since fat cells are permanently removed, maintaining a stable weight will help preserve your results.

What should I do before and after surgery?

Avoid blood-thinning medications and smoking prior to surgery. After the procedure, follow all post-op care instructions, wear your compression garment, and limit activity until cleared by your surgeon.

Is there any downtime or side effects?

It is usually possible for patients to resume light activity within a few days. Temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected. It is unlikely that you will experience complications, but you will be informed about them during your consultation.

What can I expect during the procedure?

After anesthesia, your surgeon will inject a solution to numb the area and minimize bleeding. Cannulas are inserted through small incisions to remove fat. The area is shaped for smooth, natural results, and a compression garment is applied afterward to support healing.
