Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction Surgery Overview

What Should I Expect?
Your Liposuction may take place at your Plastic Surgeon’s office or a surgery center. Make sure that the place where you’re getting it done is accredited, and is known for its professional standards, safety and good results.
- You’ll go home the day of the procedure. Make sure to have someone drive you home afterward. (If you’re having a lot of fat removed, you should get the surgery done in a hospital, where you might stay overnight).
- Before your liposuction starts, your doctor might mark the areas of your body that will be treated. They may also take photos to use later for before-and-after comparisons.
- Next you’ll get general anesthesia — which means you will not be awake during the procedure — or a “local,” which means you will be awake but not feel any pain.

Procedures
When you gain weight, fat cells increase in size and volume. In turn, liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area. The amount of fat removed depends on the appearance of the area and the volume of fat. The resulting contour changes are generally permanent — as long as your weight remains stable.
After liposuction, the skin molds itself to the new contours of the treated areas. If you have good skin tone and elasticity, the skin is likely to appear smooth. If your skin is thin with poor elasticity, however, the skin in the treated areas may appear loose.
Liposuction doesn’t improve cellulite dimpling or other skin surface irregularities. Likewise, liposuction doesn’t remove stretch marks.
To be a candidate for liposuction, you must be in good health without conditions that could complicate surgery — such as restricted blood flow, coronary artery disease, diabetes or a weak immune system.
FAQ's
How safe is liposuction?
As with any major surgery, liposuction carries risks, such as bleeding and a reaction to anesthesia. Possible complications specific to liposuction include Contour irregularities. Your skin may appear bumpy, wavy, or withered due to uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity and unusual healing.
How painful is liposuction recovery?
During the first few days of recovery, you can expect moderate pain and soreness. Your Plastic Surgeon will have given you pain medication to make this discomfort manageable, so follow your medication schedule closely. You should plan to limit your activity during this time as well.

Liposuction can help you lose weight?

Is liposuction worth the money?
Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight loss procedure. This is an important fact for those with a high body mass index (BMI). … Even if a good amount of fat is removed, it may not make such a big difference when compared to a person’s overall body size, so it really may not be worth it.
Does fat come back after lipo?
Will the fat grow back? Once the fat is removed from an area, it does not grow back. The fat cells that remain can get bigger with weight gain. Because there are fewer fat cells in the treated area (as compared to before the procedure), other areas of your body that were not treated may appear to increase in size.
Does Lipo leave scars?
Liposuction is a popular surgical procedure that removes fat deposits from your body. … Liposuction incisions are no exception. While usually less than an inch long, these incisions transition to a scab, which can then leave a visible scar.
