Liposuction Process

Liposuction or Microsuction also know as suction lipectomry or vacuum-assisted lipectomy is a surgical procedure done by a cosmetic surgeon to remove excess body fat or lipids. This is to improve the contours of the body. It is usually done under general anesthetic and a small incision in the skin where the scar can be hidden in the natural fold of the skin.

A hallow stainless steel tube is then inserted into the fatty layer of the skin and suction is used to remove unwanted fats. It is the same way as the vacuum cleaner picks up dust. It is a normal practice to treat both sides of the body during the operation. After the surgery, there is usually some swelling, bruising an soreness. The fat will accumulate if you start over eating again. So it is advisable to keep good healthy diet and regular exercise after the recovery.
