Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body to improve shape and contour. It is commonly performed on the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and chin. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body-sculpting method for individuals who have stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
During the procedure, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions to break up and suction out fat cells. Techniques may include tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted (VASER), or laser-assisted methods for precision and minimal trauma.
Liposuction is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes 1–3 hours, depending on the treatment area. Recovery involves wearing compression garments, managing swelling, and avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks.
When performed by a qualified surgeon, liposuction offers long-lasting results and improved body contour, especially when followed by a healthy lifestyle.

At least 4 days will be enough to complete your procedure and the first quarter of your healing process.
All forms of liposuction use an aspirator and a cannula, a shallow tube, to physically remove stubborn fat. It’s important to realize that liposuction does permanently remove fat cells from the body.
Following the surgery, you’ll feel the discomfort. However, with the help of your doctor’s recommended supportive drug therapy, you will manage this procedure with ease.
Recovery after liposuction varies depending on the area treated and the amount of fat removed, but following post-op care is crucial for optimal results.

⏳ Healing Timeline
