The Liposuction Procedure

Dr. Bernard performs liposuction as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Small incisions are made near the treatment areas. A thin cannula is inserted to suction out excess fat cells. For Smartlipo, laser energy is applied to liquefy fat before removal. The incisions are then closed with sutures.

Liposuction Recovery

Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1 week. Compression garments are worn for several weeks to minimize swelling. Some swelling and bruising is normal for 4-6 weeks. Final results develop over 3-6 months as swelling subsides.

Liposuction FAQs

How much fat can be removed?

Liposuction can remove localized fat deposits but is not a weight loss procedure. Good candidates are at or near their ideal weight.

Will the fat return after liposuction?

Fat cells removed by liposuction do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent weight gain in other areas.

Does liposuction tighten loose skin?

While Smartlipo may provide some skin tightening, liposuction is not primarily a skin tightening procedure. A tummy tuck or other lift procedure may be recommended for excess skin.
