What is Liposuction surgery?
Liposuction, commonly referred to as “lipo,” is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat cells from specific areas of the body. During the process, a small, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through tiny incisions in the skin. This cannula is used to break up and suction out the unwanted fat, leading to improved body contours.
Liposuction is particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is essential to understand that liposuction is not a weight-loss method but rather a body contouring procedure. The results are typically long-lasting, providing a more proportionate and sculpted appearance.

How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction surgery involves breaking down body fat cells and extracting them through suction. It offers a permanent and complete removal of targeted fat cells in specific areas of the body.
By reducing the number of fat cells in the treated area, this procedure helps manage weight gain. Liposuction is a viable option for both women and men seeking fat reduction.
How Effective is Liposuction?
In most cases, only one treatment is needed to achieve desired results.
Visible results are typically noticeable within one week of the procedure. Furthermore, the treated area may continue to improve over the course of three to six months.
Liposuction Recovery Process
Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a shorter downtime for most patients. After the procedure, we recommend taking one to two days of rest. It’s important to avoid strenuous exercise for approximately two weeks to facilitate a smooth recovery. Additionally, your surgeon may advise wearing a compression garment for a brief period post-procedure to promote optimal healing.
Am I a candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is suitable for both men and women who are in good mental, emotional, and physical health and have a normal body weight. This advanced procedure offers convenience and efficiency for individuals seeking the removal of excess fat in specific problem areas, such as the breasts and love handles.
