• Have good skin elasticity for optimal results.
• Are in overall good health with no underlying medical conditions affecting healing.

Before liposuction surgery, patients receive either local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. The surgeon then marks the targeted areas for fat removal.

A small incision is made in the treatment area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. This tube helps break up fat cells, which are then suctioned out using gentle, controlled movements.

Various liposuction techniques may be used, including:

• Tumescent Liposuction: A special fluid is injected to reduce bleeding and make fat removal easier.
• Superwet Liposuction: Similar to tumescent liposuction but uses less fluid, reducing swelling and recovery time.
• Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat before removal.
• Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): Uses laser energy to target and remove fat cells.

Once fat removal is complete, the incisions are left open for drainage or closed with small stitches. Compression garments are applied to aid in healing and reduce swelling

Recovering from liposuction is a gradual process requiring patients and proper aftercare. Understanding what to expect during each stage of recovery can help you prepare for a smoother and more comfortable healing journey.

Initial Healing (First Few Days)

Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common. Patients should wear a compression garment to support healing and minimize fluid buildup.

Weeks 1-4

Swelling gradually decreases, and results become more visible. Light activity is encouraged, but strenuous exercise should be avoided. Attend any follow-up appointments to guarantee proper healing.

Full Recovery (Three to Six Months)

The final results of body contouring procedures are typically visible within 3-6 months. Any residual swelling subsides, revealing a smoother and more defined shape.

Liposuction offers more than just cosmetic improvements—it can renew your body's confidence and comfort. For individuals struggling with stubborn fat, liposuction:

• Removes stubborn fat that won’t go away with diet and exercise.
• Enhances body shape and creates a more sculpted, defined appearance.
• Boosts confidence by achieving a desired look.
• Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
• Minimally invasive with a relatively short recovery time.

With proper care and a balanced lifestyle, the benefits of liposuction can be maintained for years.

The liposuction surgery cost depends on several factors, including:

• Number of treatment areas.
• Type of liposuction procedure performed.
• Surgeon’s expertise and location.
• Facility and anesthesia fees.

Since liposuction is considered cosmetic, most insurance plans do not cover the procedure. However, financing options and payment plans are available to help make the procedure more accessible.
