Liposuction improves body contour and eliminates stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. It has evolved with techniques such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), and laser-assisted liposuction. These methods allow for more precise fat removal with less bleeding, bruising, and downtime.
Liposuction involves the breakdown and suction of fat from targeted areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, using a cannula. Modern techniques provide more precise body contouring with less trauma to surrounding tissues.
Recovery from liposuction takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure. Swelling and bruising are common, but most patients can return to light activities within a few days. Full results are typically visible within 3-6 months as swelling subsides.
