Liposuction

Liposuction is a highly individualized procedure that requires careful consideration of your specific concerns and the area in which you desire improvement.

An evaluation of skin tone and elasticity, as well as fat density and distribution will determine appropriate liposuction techniques for your specific case.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure. All liposuction techniques require incisions. Most are so small that no stitching is necessary.

Preparing for liposuction

The liposuction surgery you are to undergo will be carefully explained to you. You will be given specific instructions that will include:

●pre-surgical considerations, diagnostic testing and medications

●day of surgery instructions and medications

●information on anesthesia

●post-operative care and follow-up

What to expect

Your liposuction procedure may be performed in our accredited office-based surgical facility or in a hospital, depending on your wishes and any health issues you may have.

In the office setting, intravenous sedation will be used; while in the hospital, general anesthesia is more likely.

Local anesthesia to the liposuction area is always administered.

Following liposuction

Once liposuction is completed, a compression garment will be applied to the treated areas.

These assist to control swelling and compress the skin to your new body contour.

Instructions on how to manage the garments will be given to you during consultation and when you book your surgery.
