Liposuction

Liposuction consists in inserting a small narrow tube or cannula through very small incisions in the areas to be suctioned. The cannula will be attached to a vaccum machine, thus enabling suctioning of unwanted fat deposits.

Liposuction is typically performed on several areas of the body including the legs, hips, buttock, thighs...

Two weeks prior to your liposuction surgery you should stop taking all forms of aspirin, as well as any medication and vitamins that could interfere with your blood’s clotting ability. If you smoke, you should attempt to stop for at least two weeks before liposuction.

At the end of the operation, a panty is worn to apply pressure, minimize swelling and provide support as bruises and swelling appear around the treated area.

The patient will be able to returm to normal life at around 1-7 days, depending on the number of areas treated and the nature of his/her professional activity.

The results are visible at the end of three months and are final.
