Liposuction Procedure Overview
Is liposuction permanent? Can the removed fat come back?
- Although adults do not create new fat cells, our existing fat cells have a limitless capacity to expand
- This means that you CAN re-accumulate fat in areas that have had liposuction
- Liposuction is not used for weight loss
- It is important to maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise after liposuction because fat can come back
Time involved, anesthesia, recovery time and other things involved in liposuction:
- I perform liposuction under minimal sedation or general anesthesia.
- Most patients can go home the same day.
After your liposuction:
- During the first week after liposuction you should expect bruising and swelling.
- Most of my patients have mild to moderate pain that is controlled by prescription pain medicine.
- Can resume normal daily activities 2 weeks after liposuction
- You can resume exercising 4-6 weeks after liposuction.
