1. What are the common side effects of liposuction?

Areas that are not liposuctioned may preferentially show fat deposition with weight gain. Some irregularities are the most common post-operative issue.


2. What are the benefits of liposuction?

Liposuction is not a weight loss solution, but rather an opportunity to re-contour your body by removing excess fat that is not affected by weight-loss or exercise. Common areas that we see are large inner and outer thighs, thickened waist or muffin top, back wings, and fatty tummy’s.


3. When should I expect to see positive results following the liposuction procedure?

Most swelling subsides at 6-weeks after surgery, but women often see results sooner.


4. How do I find an experienced liposuction surgeon?

Look at several items before making your choice:

• Are they board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
• Do they hold credentials in the hospital for the same procedures they offer in their accredited office-based surgery center
• Do they have before and after patient photos to show you
• Are you comfortable with them as a surgeon once you have a consultation

5. How does the Tumescent technique result in better and smoother results?

It is not used for a better, smoother result; rather it is a technique used to decrease blood loss.


6. What is high definition liposuction (6-pack etching)?

It is an attempt to change a body shape by different liposuction. This technique is used to sculpt abdominal muscle using your own fat.
