Liposuction

On the operation date, you should not eat and drink six hours before the surgery.

Liposuction is made under light and local anesthesia. The operation takes between 1-2 hours depending on which areas are treated. The plastic surgeon puts 2-3 small incisions in the skin and then moves into the fatty tissue with a special probe. The probe in turn is connected to a vacuum hose that allows the fat to be sucked out. For every area that the fat is sucked tend to leave 2-3 scars that are about 0.5 cm high. Depending on the operation scale and number of areas; recovery ranges between 1 to 4 weeks.

It is possible to do Liposuction in several places at the same time. However to minimize complications, it is advised to limit the amount of fat sucked to 2 liters / intervention.

The most common side effects are swelling, bruising and pain. Both the swelling and bruising usually disappears in 2-4 weeks after surgery. The pain after Liposuction is usually regarded as moderate. The larger the area where that fat was sucked the greater the pain.

Immediately after the surgery the treated area will be covered with large bandage that you should bear up to 3 or 4 weeks. Stitches are removed after 7 days from the surgery.

If the surgery was not so large, you can go home on the same day of the surgery. A moderate pain felt in the areas of operation afterwards. You can begin to work after a week depending on how physically demanding your work is.

Exercise can be resumed in 2-3 weeks after a small liposuction, and 4-5 weeks after a major one.
