The recovery period will differ for each patient, and healing is a gradual process. It’s generally recommend that you start walking around as soon as possible to reduce swelling and to help prevent the development of blood clots. Most patients begin to feel better after about a week or two, and you should be able to resume work within a few days following your liposuction. Within the first week to 10 days, the stitches will be removed or they’ll dissolve on their own, depending on the type. Strenuous activity should be avoided for the first few weeks. Although most of the bruising and swelling usually disappears within three weeks, some swelling may remain for six months or more.
Liposuction
Sculpt Your Body To Get
The Results You’ve Always Wanted
Even with exercise and a proper diet, sometimes, stubborn pockets of body fat refuse to leave. Liposuction helps sculpt the body by removing unwanted pockets of fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks, and neck.
Good candidates for liposuction are close to their ideal weight with firm, elastic skin, and are unhappy with areas of excess fat. Likewise, candidates should be physically and psychologically healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is recovery like?
-
Are the results permanent?
When you gain weight, fat cells increase in size and volume. In turn, liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area. The amount of fat removed depends on the appearance of the area and the volume of fat. The resulting contour changes are generally permanent — as long as your weight remains stable.
-
Are there risks with liposuction?
As with any major surgery, liposuction carries risks, such as bleeding and a reaction to anaesthesia. Other possible complications specific to liposuction include: fluid accumulation (temporary pockets of fluid (seromas) can form under the skin), numbness and infection.
-
How long does the procedure take?
Depending on the area you're having treated and how much fat you're having removed, your procedure can take between one and three hours to complete. However, this is only the time for the actual surgical procedure. The preoperative and post-operative procedures will extend your time in the clinic to a full day.
-
How does the procedure work?
In liposuction, a cannula is connected to a vacuum to remove the fat from your body. The treatment may involve one of these techniques such as tumescent liposuction, ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL) or laser-assisted liposuction.
-
Is having liposuction painful?
Any residual pain should disappear within a few days. Liposuction recovery involves minimal pain, but any excess pain can be managed with over the counter painkillers. You will be issued with a compression garment to reduce the swelling, and this should be worn for 6 weeks.
