Liposuction

Liposuction can be done by manual method, Power-assisted method, VASER assisted method.

It is a daycare procedure and you will be discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery.

You will be seen by our anesthetist before surgery and then admitted on the day of surgery. The surgery is conducted under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours depending upon the extent of the liposuction. Liposuction is done through tiny stab incisions which are not noticeable. You will have waterproof dressings over these stab wounds. You will be given some painkillers and antibiotics and discharged on the same day evening. You will be advised to wear compression garments after surgery.

There will be a follow-up appointment after 1 week to check the wound. Most of the swelling goes down in a week, but final results can be usually seen after 6 weeks of surgery when the swelling and bruising completely recedes.

You will be able to go back to normal activities from the next day. Strenuous activity like jogging, gym and sports can be resumed after 3 weeks.

Infection, bleeding, swelling, bruising and pain are common complications that can happen. The pain will be managed by our acute pain service team while in the hospital. Some asymmetry can still persist and you might require multiple sittings to correct these occasionally.
