Personalized Liposuction Procedure

At Russell Bramhall's clinic, the liposuction journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Patients discuss their goals, target areas, and medical history. The procedure involves making small incisions, infiltrating local anesthetic, and removing fat tissue using suction cannulae. Depending on the case, it can be performed under local anesthetic with or without sedation, or general anesthetic.

Treatable Areas

Liposuction can address multiple areas simultaneously, including:

• Tummy
• Love handles
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Waistline
• Arms
• Neck

The duration of the procedure varies from 1-4 hours, depending on the number and size of treated areas.

Recovery Timeline

Key Milestones:

• One Week: First check-up on wound healing
• Two Weeks: Initial swelling reduction
• Two Months: Follow-up appointment
• Six Months: Final follow-up appointment

Liposuction is typically a day case procedure, with overnight stays only necessary for evening surgeries or large volume removals. Patients can shower immediately but should avoid prolonged water exposure to scars in the first week. Most swelling and discomfort subside within 1-2 weeks, though complete settling may take longer.
