Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately enhancing your self-image.
Liposuction can help sculpt your body, restore a more shapely form, and improve your fit in clothes by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, such as:
- Thighs
- Hips and buttocks
- Abdomen and waist
- Upper arms
- Back
- Inner knee
- Chest area
- Cheeks, chin and neck
- Calves and ankles
Procedural steps: The procedure is done under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The technique requires an infusion of saline solution with adrenaline and local anesthetic prior to removal of excess fat. Postoperatively you may need to wear a compressive garment over the area treated.
Your results: Swelling should subside, bruising should fade and initial results may appear in 2 to 4 weeks. Postoperative pain is mild to moderate depending on the number of areas treated.
