Are you put to sleep for liposuction?
Most liposuction procedures are performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t be awake during surgery. Your surgeon will discuss anesthesia options with you during your consultation.
How long does it take to heal from liposuction?
Initial healing takes several weeks, with most patients feeling much more comfortable by the six-week mark. Swelling can continue to improve over time, and you’ll get a pretty clear picture of your final results within a few months.
Does liposuction leave saggy skin?
Liposuction removes fat but doesn’t tighten skin. If skin elasticity is limited, some sagging may occur, which is why liposuction is often combined with skin-tightening procedures to achieve optimal results.
How painful is liposuction recovery?
Because liposuction is performed under general anesthesia, you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, most patients experience soreness and discomfort rather than severe pain, which can typically be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
Does liposuction leave scars?
Liposuction requires small incisions, which can leave tiny, circular scars. These are carefully placed in discreet areas and fade significantly over time.
How long do you have to stay in bed after liposuction?
Extended bed rest isn’t recommended. We encourage most patients to begin light movement, such as walking, within the first few days after surgery. This supports your circulation and healing.
