Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes subcutaneous fat cells (the squishy fat). Because fat does not grow back or move around the body, liposuction results are long-lasting when combined with regular diet and exercise. Liposuction scars are typically only 2-3cm long, and strategically placed in the nature shadows and contours of the body. For many, liposuction scars are barely visible once healed.
Liposuction is a long-lasting solution for stubborn pockets of fat that are often due to genetics and don't respond as well to diet and exercise.
Liposuction recovery for many patients is typically between 7-10 days with residual bruising lasting a few weeks. You’ll likely be asked to wear a compression garment for at least 6 weeks post-op.
Though you’ll see improvements along the way, residual swelling typically resolves around 12 months post-op to reveal liposuction results.
