Liposuction

What is Liposuction? 

Liposuction is a plastic surgery operation that attempts to extract excess fat from certain parts of the body while also contouring the areas in question. 

How is Liposuction surgery done? 

The operation takes place under anesthesia as an outpatient surgery. A specific tool named cannula is used during the operation which disorganizes the fat cells. Then, the disrupted cells are removed from the body through absorption. An average liposuction operation takes about 3-4 hours, and the patients are often not expected to be hospitalized following the surgery.

Losing weight with Liposuction

Although it slims the body, the aim of liposuction is not to lose weight. Still, the patients often lose 1 to 10 pounds after the operation. Although it is possible to lose more, doctors tend to limit the amount of fat extracted from the body to 11 pounds.
