How is Liposuction Performed?
The procedure usually follows these steps:
Consultation & Planning: Assessment of body shape, skin elasticity, and patient expectations.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used.
Small Incisions: Tiny incisions are made in hidden areas.
Fat Removal: A thin tube (cannula) is inserted to break down and suction out fat deposits.
Shaping & Refinement: Surgeons contour the treated area to create a smooth and balanced silhouette.
Closing & Recovery: Incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied.
The surgery generally takes 1–3 hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
