How Liposuction Surgery Works

Liposuction is normally done as an outpatient procedure and can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the areas being treated. It can be done under local or general anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable. There are several different liposuction techniques, but the common steps include the following:

Anesthesia

Anesthesia is administered.

Incisions

Small incisions are made in the treatment area.

Extraction

A thin tube called a cannula is used to gently loosen and remove the fat targeted for elimination.

Shaping

The area is carefully shaped to look smoother and create natural-looking definition.

Closure

The incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied to mitigate swelling and bruising during healing.

Discharge

After a short uneventful observation period, you are discharged to go home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can liposuction be used?

Liposuction can be used almost anywhere on the body where excess fat can accumulate. Some of the areas that can be treated include the following:

Thighs
Hips and buttocks
Abdomen and waist
Upper arms
Back
Inner knee
Chest area
Cheeks, chin, and neck
Calves and ankles

Will liposuction help you with weight loss?

Liposuction is not designed to be a weight loss procedure and is meant to remove localized fat and improve the shape of your body. Surgeons can only safely remove up to 5 liters of fat during one liposuction procedure, which may result in a minimal loss of one or two pounds.

How long is recovery after liposuction?

Many patients can return to light activities within a few days and can get back to most of their normal routine after about two weeks, but it can take about six to eight weeks for a full recovery.

Are liposuction results permanent?

Yes, they can be. The fat cells that are removed do not come back, but if you gain weight, it can affect your results.

When will I see results from liposuction?

You may see some results almost right away, with the rest appearing after all the swelling goes down. This can take weeks or months depending on the areas treated and how much fat was eliminated.

Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Liposuction is often used during surgeries like a tummy tuck or procedures that involve skin-tightening.
