WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat tissue from specific areas of the body to achieve a slimmer and more contoured appearance. It is often used for resistant fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, and under the chin, which cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method but a body contouring procedure.
SURGICAL AND RECOVERY PROCESS
Liposuction is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the area being treated, and takes 1-3 hours. Excess fat is removed using thin cannulas. Post-operative swelling and bruising may occur, and compression garments are recommended to aid recovery. Patients can usually resume light activities within a few days, but full results become visible in 2-3 months. Liposuction enhances body contours, achieving a more balanced and aesthetic look.
