Where beauty meets precision. Surgical.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, buttocks, or neck. It is not a weight-loss method but rather a way to contour and shape the body.

Here are a few general points to consider:

1. Candidates: Ideal candidates for liposuction generally have good overall health, stable body weight, and localized areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction can be performed on both men and women.
2. Procedure: The procedure involves making small incisions in the target area and suctioning out the excess fat using a thin tube called a cannula. Depending on the specific technique used, liposuction may be performed under local or general anesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate approach for your case.
3. Risks and complications: Like any surgery, liposuction carries certain risks and potential complications, including infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in skin sensation, contour irregularities, and fluid accumulation. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon and follow their pre- and post-operative instructions.
4. Recovery: After liposuction, patients may experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. Compression garments are often recommended to minimize swelling and support the healing process. The recovery time can vary but generally takes a few weeks to several months, during which physical activity and certain post-surgical restrictions may apply.
5. Results: The final results of liposuction typically become visible after the initial swelling subsides. However, it may take several months for the full effects to become apparent. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and regular exercise will help to maintain the results.
