    You will be seen by our anaesthetist before surgery and then admitted on the day of surgery. The surgery is conducted under general anaesthesia and takes about 2 hours. Liposuction is done through tiny stab incisions which are not noticeable.

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.
