What are the benefits of Liposuction?
Sometimes pockets of fat can be difficult to shift irrelevant of how much you exercise. Liposuction provides immediate results, removes excess fat and changes the body’s shape to something more aesthetically pleasing which can help boost confidence and well being.
What does the Liposuction procedure involve?
Liposuction involves the removal of fat from various parts of the body and the procedure can be performed using different techniques including dry/ wet Liposuction, ultra sound Liposuction, laser assisted Liposuction and tumescent Liposuction.
During the Liposuction consultation process the patient will have a discussion with the doctor to determine the desired result and which areas of the body need to be targeted. Prior to the Liposuction procedure the areas of the patients body that will be treated are marked by pen and photographs are usually taken to provide a before and after picture.
The cosmetic surgeon uses local anesthetic and the patient may be given a sedative before having Liposuction. During Liposuction the surgeon uses what is known as a cannula (hollow tube) and an aspirator (suction device) to remove excess fat. The Liposuction patient is also connected to an IV drip line so that any fluid lost during Liposuction is replaced.
Liposuction usually takes up to 2 hours and unless the patient is under general anesthetic they can usually go home the same day but can’t drive and need to refrain from strenuous activity and exercise for several weeks.
