LIPOSUCTION - THE PROCEDURE

I use the traditional super-wet technique of liposuction. The targeted fat cells are infused with a saline solution containing a local anesthetic and adrenalin to decrease blood loss, allow easier fat removal as well as diminish postoperative discomfort. This also reduces post-operative bruising and swelling.

 

The most common locations for liposuction are

  • Abdomen
  • Hips
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks
  • Knees
  • Ankles
  • Chin
  • Cheeks
  • Neck
  • Upper arms
  • Area above the breasts

 

 

Length of procedure

Traditional: One to two and a half hours, depending on the site and size of area of liposuction.

 

Anesthesia

Deep intravenous sedation with local anesthetic.

 

Inpatient/Outpatient

This is an outpatient procedure.
