What Does Liposuction Involve?

Liposuction is one of the most popular outpatient cosmetic procedures for men and women. It can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to help you achieve your desired results for an attractive appearance. Excess fat is removed from targeted areas of the body through a cannula, which is a small, thin metal tube. Various plastic surgery techniques can be used to dissolve the fat before being removed through the tube with the use of a vacuum device. Intravenous sedation, local or general anesthesia may be used during the surgery.

You could have excess skin as a result of the surgery. This can be corrected through other cosmetic surgeries, such as an abdominoplasty or facelift. Most clients can resume normal activities after two weeks of surgery. Some bruising and swelling may be expected but should go away within a few weeks. Clients who exercise and eat a healthy diet can maintain long-lasting results after liposuction.
