Sculpt Your Body with Liposuction
Not all fat can be conquered with diet and exercise. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that allows for targeted removal of stubborn fat cells that just do not respond to healthier lifestyle choices. It is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, with 250,000 liposuction procedures performed in the U.S. each year.
Clients seek liposuction when they are unhappy with the contouring of their body or because fat cells are hiding their muscle definition. The procedure is often combined with others, such as a tummy tuck or breast lift.

Liposuction Surgery Recovery
You will want to rest for several days after the procedure. During this time, movement will be important, but it should be minimal and not stress the body. You will need to wear compression garments to encourage healing and keep swelling to a minimum.
Although individual recovery times vary, many clients are able to return to work after a few days. Avoid strenuous physical activity for at least 2 weeks. Remember that everyone heals at their own pace and you need to listen to your body and your doctor.
Liposuction Surgery Results
You may see a noticeable difference shortly after the procedure. However, swelling will prevent clear results from being seen for about 6 weeks. Final results can take about 6 months to show. Be sure to keep eating healthy and exercising to maintain the results of your lipo procedure.
