Liposuction FAQs

 

How long does the Liposuction procedure take?
A Liposuction procedure takes an average of 2–3 hours per session.

How many liposuction treatments are required?
Most patients typically require only one treatment. Each Liposuction session may last from 45 minutes to one hour for each area treated. Liposuction can also be used for “touch-ups” and revisions to previously treated areas.

Does Liposuction treat cellulite?
The Liposuction procedure will improve the body's shape and may reduce cellulite to a certain degree.

What is the long-term outcome for most people?
Most patients can see results immediately following the Liposuction procedure, and they can expect their skin to return to normal within three months. However, as with traditional liposuction, you will need to practice patience -- since the full Liposuction results may not be visible for up to a year. The more fat removed, the longer it will take to see maximum results, as your body needs to adapt to a more significant shape change.

Do I have to stay in the hospital?
No! Liposuction is performed as an in-patient procedure under local anesthesia. You won’t be required to stay in the hospital, since recovery from Liposuction works best within the comfort of your home.
