Liposuction - FAQ

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a fast, easy way to remove fat from the body. A medical device called a cannula is inserted under the skin via a small incision. The cannula liquefies the fatty tissue and removes it from the body.

Is liposuction a weight loss plan?

Yes and no. Liposuction is a surgical procedure, and cannot be undergone every time a person gains weight. However, liposuction does remove specific weight from targeted areas of the body. In many cases, this is weight that has been impossible to eliminate through diet and exercise.

In most cases, patients find their self-confidence skyrocketing after a liposuction procedure. This improved confidence leads many patients down the road to an overall healthier life-style, one that includes regular diet and exercise.

What sorts of results can I expect?

Liposuction works best when targeting specific areas, including your thighs, upper arms, or sides. For more extensive areas, liposuction may not be the best choice. For instance, if you have a large, overhanging stomach, an abdominoplasty will produce much better results.

What is the recovery process like?

Recovery varies extensively based upon the amount and location of the liposuction. Typically, you can expect to be sore for around a week.

It's important to note that liposuction does not prevent new fat from forming. Only proper diet and exercise can do that. However, most patients find that proper diet and exercise become a regular part of life post-liposuction.
