Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
Good candidates are healthy individuals with localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but a body contouring procedure for stubborn fat areas.
How is liposuction performed?
Liposuction involves making small incisions, through which a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to suction out fat. It’s typically performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia depending on the procedure.
How long does liposuction surgery take?
The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on the area being treated and the amount of fat being removed. Larger areas or multiple areas may take longer to complete.
What is the recovery time after liposuction?
Recovery typically takes 1–2 weeks for light activities. Swelling and bruising are common but subside over time. Full recovery may take several months as the body adjusts to the new contours.
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
Yes, the results can be permanent if a stable weight is maintained. However, significant weight gain can lead to new fat deposits, and lifestyle changes are important to preserve results.
