Liposuction
Liposuction reduces prominent fat bulges and improves the shape or contour of the body.
The procedures is done on an outpatient basis. General anesthesia is usually used for safety and comfort. Small suction tubes (cannulas) are inserted through very short incisions placed in inconspicuous locations near the fat deposits, and excess fat is removed. If very large volumes of fat are to be removed, an overnight stay at the outpatient surgery center or hospital is recommended. A multivitamin with iron should be taken after surgery.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The patient goes home with a compression garment (or tape) covering the treated areas. Compression is advised for about a month as it helps reduce swelling and helps the patient achieve the final result more quickly. Once pain and soreness decrease, it is frequently more comfortable to wear lycra or spandex exercise pants. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication. Patients must stay hydrated by drinking Gatorade, water, etc. Bruising and swelling usually subsides in 2-4 weeks. The final result takes shape over 2-3 months.
