Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the body using a hollow stainless steel tube called a cannula. The cannula is inserted through a small incision in the skin and is used to suction out the excess fat.
Ideal candidates for liposuction are in good physical health and have realistic expectations about the procedure. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution and is not effective for treating cellulite or loose skin.
The cost of liposuction varies depending on the amount of fat being removed and the number of areas being treated
Liposuction is typically performed with local anesthesia, so patients should not feel any pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild discomfort and swelling after the procedure, but this can be managed with pain medication.
Recovery time after liposuction varies from patient to patient, but most people can return to work within a week of the procedure.
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction carries some risks, including infection, scarring, and changes in skin sensation. It is important to discuss these risks with your surgeon before the procedure.
