Liposuction

Liposuction can target localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure improves the body proportions and silhouette. In general, considerations are made to the quality of the skin after the fat is removed to determine whether or not liposuction alone is sufficient. Common areas of liposuction include under the chin, abdomen, flanks, thighs and axillae.

Risks of Liposuction

• Infection at the surgical site

• Scarring and skin irregularities

• Fluid accumulation (seromas)

• Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

• Changes in skin sensation

   

Recovery from Liposuction

• Initial recovery period typically lasts 1-2 weeks

• Swelling and bruising may persist for several weeks

• Compression garments may be required to support healing

• Gradual return to normal activities, with full results visible in several months

• Follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring progress
