A thin cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to break up and remove unwanted fat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients can return to light activities within a few days, but swelling and bruising may last for a few weeks. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on the treatment area and individual healing. Following post-procedure guidelines helps ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Thanks to local anesthesia and IV sedation, most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Afterward, soreness feels similar to muscle fatigue and usually improves within a few days. Mild swelling and bruising are common but resolve as healing progresses.
Liposuction permanently eliminates fat cells from treated areas, but existing fat cells can still expand if you don’t maintain your current weight. Adopting a healthy diet and active lifestyle helps preserve your results long-term. While fat may accumulate in untreated areas, overall body proportions will remain improved.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring treatment designed to address stubborn fat deposits. It works best for those who are close to their ideal weight and body but struggle with localized fat. For long-term success, liposuction should be paired with a healthy lifestyle.
