Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure. It is for removing unwanted body fat. Exercise and health diet do not work to lose fat sometimes. For this reason, liposuction works on areas (such as the buttocks, hips, thighs) of the body where deposits of fat tend to collect. It is best for people who are a normal weight and for areas where the skin is tight.
The procedure usually takes 1 to 3 hours. The surgeon marks on your body the area where fat is to be removed. There are some steps about the procedure; injecting the area with a solution containing anaesthetic and medicine, to reduce blood loss, bruising and swelling. Breaking up the fat cells. Making a small incision and insert a suction tube attached to a vacuum machine (it is up to the area’s size). Moving the suction tube. Drain any excess fluid and blood. Stitching and bandage the treated area.
You fit elasticated support corset or compression bandages after the procedure. It is for reducing swelling and bruising. You constantly should wear it for several weeks after the procedure. It is up to your doctor’s instructions as well. You also have your doctor’s instructions.
