What happens during a liposuction procedure?
We offer the most effective liposuction techniques, all of which are suitable for both men and women. Most popular are traditional liposuction, Body Jet liposuction and laser liposuction. Before having the liposuction procedure, you will have either a local or a general anaesthetic. Most liposuction surgeries can be performed in a few hours under local anesthetic, and you will be home the same day. For larger volumes general anesthetic might be used. The procedure involves making very small cuts in the skin and then different techniques are used to remove fat from under the skin in that area. The fat can be turned into liquid or shaved off before being suctioned out. You will be asked to rest at home for 6-10 days, and it is good to move around regularly to keep your circulation going. Your skin might be bruised from the surgery, and the small incisions might be red, but should heal quickly.
