Our renowned team excels in performing cutting-edge liposuction techniques, ensuring shorter recovery times and superior results, giving patients a beautifully sculpted and slimmer physique.

WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?

Liposuction is a technique that has changed greatly over time. Modern liposuction methods have evolved significantly from their predecessors, offering less invasive procedures with faster and more stable recovery times.

These advanced techniques yield smoother and more satisfying results. Utilizing smaller and refined instruments, liposuction can achieve intricate body contouring in various areas, ensuring a precise and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION?

To qualify for liposuction, individuals should have a healthy BMI range, which is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters. A higher BMI signifies a higher body fat percentage. Generally, it is advisable for patients to have a BMI below 30 before considering liposuction as an option.

This minimally invasive technique offers patients smoother and firmer contours for a more youthful appearance.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM LIPOSUCTION PROCEDURE?

Advanced liposuction is often performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Initially, a solution containing lidocaine and epinephrine is infused into the targeted area to minimize bleeding, trauma, and discomfort.

A small, discreet incision is made during the procedure, and a cannula is inserted beneath the skin to loosen and remove fat. The length of the procedure varies depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat to be eliminated.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY PROCESS LIKE?

The recovery process for liposuction looks different for everyone, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s unique healing capabilities. Generally, patients may experience mild to moderate discomfort, bruising, and swelling in the treated areas. Compression garments are often worn to minimize swelling and support the healing process.

Most individuals can resume light activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks. The final results gradually appear as swelling subsides, and the full outcome may take a few months to be evident. Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon are essential to monitor progress and ensure a smooth recovery.
