Procedure Details

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure performed at Plastic Surgery Specialists' modern surgical facility. The duration ranges from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on treatment complexity. Surgeons create tiny incisions, insert a cannula, and carefully remove unwanted fat cells using specialized techniques.

Recovery and Results

Patient recovery varies based on procedure extent. Most individuals experience initial swelling and bruising that subsides within two days, with complete healing occurring over several months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle ensures long-lasting results.

Potential Combination Procedures

Liposuction can be combined with complementary procedures like tummy tuck or mommy makeover to achieve comprehensive body transformation goals.

Long-Term Outcome Considerations

Liposuction results are considered permanent when patients maintain consistent weight and healthy lifestyle habits. Significant weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural aging can potentially impact surgical outcomes.
