What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body’s contour by removing excess fat from deposits located between the skin and muscle. Liposuction involves the use of a small stainless steel tube, called a cannula. The cannula is connected to a powerful suction pump and inserted into the fat through small incisions in the skin. Fat removal is accomplished as the suction cannula creates tiny tunnels through the fatty layers. After surgery, these tiny tunnels collapse and thus result in an improved body contour.
What is the recovery time?
Before the procedure begins, you will be given anesthesia. Depending on the extent of the liposuction, patients are generally able to return to work between two days and two weeks.
