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.
