Liposuction is the most commonly performed surgical procedure today within plastic surgery. It can be performed anywhere from head-to-toe. What it involves is removing of fat through small incisions inconspicuously hidden in the body. A cannula is inserted and the tissue is removed through a vacuum. The recovery is typically approximately one week. The surgery is done under general anesthesia and when you wake up you’ll be wearing a surgical compression garment, which will help to shrink the skin back to normal. The most common patients and the best patients are those with just spotty areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise and the patient, no matter what they do, can’t lose that fat. Those patients tend to get the best results due to their age, their elasticity and their workout and diet habits. It’s a very high satisfaction operation and the patients can resume normal activities after approximately one week.
