Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess fat from specific areas of the body, typically in areas that have not responded to diet and exercise.
The procedure involves making small incisions in the targeted area and inserting a thin tube called a cannula to break up and suction out the excess fat. The procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the area being treated.
Liposuction is commonly used to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, and neck. It is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a way to improve the appearance of specific areas of the body.
Recovery time will depend on the specific procedure performed and the individual patient, but most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days to a week. Bruising, swelling, and discomfort are common after the procedure, but these typically subside within a few weeks.
It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon to determine if liposuction is the right option for you, and to discuss the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including bleeding, infection, and poor wound healing.
