What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure. Despite diet and exercise many people have areas of unwanted fat. Liposuction is a popular option to treat trouble areas including the abdomen, flanks, back, arms thighs and chin. Although liposuction removes unwanted fat, it is not a weight-loss procedure.

 

What happens during liposuction

Liposuction can be performed in-office with local anesthesia call tumescent. Your doctor will make one or more small (one-quarter inch or less) incisions and infiltrate a large quantity of a mixture of saline, local anesthesia, and epinephrine into the treatment areas. This fluid mixture causes the fat to become easier to remove, it also constricts your blood vessels, reducing bleeding/bruising and makes for an easier recovery. After the areas are thoroughly infiltrated, a cannula is inserted through the same incision and passes it back and forth under the skin to break up the fat before suctioning it out. Depending on the areas and volume to be removed this procedure usually takes just an hour or two.

 

What happens next?

You will be given medication to help you relax so you’ll want to make sure you have someone drive you home afterward. You’ll leave the office wearing a compression garment with lots of absorbable dressings. It’s recommended to wear dark clothing and bring a towel to protect your car seats. Drainage from the incision is normal over the next 48 hours. You’ll receive detailed instructions regarding medications, activity and dressing changes. Full recovery will take about 6 weeks, but most are back to daily household activities within a few days.
