Liposuction

Liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery, and it’s not hard to see why. We live in a visual world, and are constantly being bombarded with images of perfect bodies everywhere we look.

This procedure should not be regarded as a substitute for weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, but oftentimes, especially as we age, we find that regular exercise and a good diet are just not enough to eliminate fat off certain areas of the body. This is where liposuction may come in.

Your Consultation

Getting a liposuction is a very personal decision, and one you should make carefully and with consideration. Your first consultation should help you answer any doubts or questions you might have, wether Liposuction is the right choice for you, and if it is, at what time and how much of it should be done.

Some of the most commonly targeted areas are: Waist, Upper Arms, Thighs, and the Bra Line (back and sides of the breasts).

The Procedure

The procedure usually takes from 1 to 2 hours and is done with general anesthesia. Most patients opt for targeting several areas of the body at once. The length of the operation depends on the amount of fat being targeted.

Though the recovery takes just a couple of weeks, it’s necessary to wait a couple of months for the body to heal completely and for you to get a look of the actual, final results.
