What is the procedure of liposuction treatment?
Liposuction involves the administration of a tumescent solution, that consists of local anesthesia to numb the target area. The procedure involves making small incisions in the skin and inserting the cannula. This handheld device (cannula) is attached to a suction tube which is moved back and forth to extract the fat. This is a day-care procedure, which allows the patient to go home on the same day after the surgery.
Who is an ideal candidate for liposuction surgery?

What is the recovery time?
Liposuction is a day-care procedure and the patient can carry on with their daily activities in 2 to 3 weeks. However, the recovery and post-operative care may vary from person to person depending upon the body area treated.
Also, it is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to sustain the results. The patient must follow post-op protocols of wearing the compression garment in the areas treated as recommended by the doctor.
Is there any scar visible after the surgery?
Very small incisions are required for the surgery because liposuction uses very small cannulas. Most liposuction scars fade and disappear with time. It is only in cases when large liposuction cannulas are used or are in patients with dark pigmented skin that the scars are likely to be visible.
Can one see instant results after the procedure?
There is moderate swelling after the treatment, which settles down in a few weeks or months. Clear results of the procedure can be seen only after the inflammation settles down.
