Liposuction
Benefits of Liposuction
- Targeted Fat Reduction: Bariatric liposuction can be used as a treatment for fat reduction in areas that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
- Enhanced Contours: It allows for the reshaping of the body to create smoother, more defined contours.
- Long-lasting Results: Permanent fat removal can last up to 15 years in your treated area if you maintain a stable weight.
- Boosted Self-Esteem: Many patients experience a significant improvement in body image and confidence after the procedure.
Procedure Details
- Initial Consultation: A thorough consultation with the patient to discuss their goals, medical history, and expectations.
- Marking Treatment Areas: Before the procedure, the areas where fat is to be removed are marked.
- Incisions: Tiny, inconspicuous incisions are made near the treatment area.
- Fat Removal: A small cannula is inserted through the incision to break up and suction out fat deposits.
- Shaping and Contouring: The surgeon carefully sculpts the area for a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Closing the Incisions: After the incisions have been closed, a compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and comfort the patient.
Liposuction can take one to several hours, depending on the size and number of treatment areas. Thanks to modern anesthetics and surgical techniques, patients typically go home the same day and experience minimal discomfort.
Ideal Candidates
Liposuction is best suited for individuals who:
- Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight.
- Exercise or diet cannot address localized fat accumulations.
- Good skin elasticity allows natural retraction and contouring after fat removal.
- Do not smoke, as smoking can impair healing.
Before and After Care Tips
Before the Procedure:
- Maintain a healthy diet and stable weight before surgery.
- In order to promote healing, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
- Follow the surgeon’s preoperative instructions, such as stopping certain medications or supplements.
After the Procedure:
- Compression garments are designed to minimize swelling and assist with healing.
- Avoid strenuous activities for several weeks, but engage in light walking to promote circulation.
- Follow up with your surgeon for post-operative assessments and care.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you undergo liposuction, how much fat can you remove?
While no set amount of fat can be removed, most procedures typically eliminate up to 5 liters. The goal is to sculpt and contour the body rather than dramatically reducing weight.
What is the recovery time for liposuction?
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within a week. However, full recovery and results may take several weeks to months.
Will the fat come back after liposuction?
As a result of liposuction, fat cells are permanently removed. However, maintaining a stable weight is vital to preserving the results, as new fat cells can form in untreated areas if significant weight is gained.
Is liposuction safe?
When performed by a board-certified surgeon, liposuction is considered a safe procedure with minimal risks. The surgeon will review your medical history and make sure you’re a good candidate.
