Liposuction
Concern
Many people have the desire to improve the shape and silhouette of their body. Liposuction makes this desire a real possibility. Areas of concern tend to be the upper thighs, buttocks, hips and abdomen depending on your gender.
The removal of fat by means of suction is not a substitute for proper diet and exercise. As a matter of fact, it is not suggested for people who are severely overweight because of the risks involved. It is however an excellent technique to correct unevenly distributed fat tissue for a long-lasting result.
Treatment
Using a local anesthesia and a solution, fat will be sucked out of the region that has been marked before the surgery.
Hospital Admission: Outpatient procedure
Recuperation Time: 3 weeks
Post Surgery
Compression garments must be worn for 3 – 6 weeks. During the first two days after surgery, some watery fluid may bleed out of the small incision. Lymphatic drainage massage is recommended.
