Liposuction / Lipo Procedure with Dr. William Halll .
Liposuction
Procedure: Liposuction is the surgical vacuuming of fat from beneath the surface of the skin. It is used to reduce fullness in any area of the body. It is an excellent method of spot reduction but is not an effective method of weight loss.
Length: 2 to 3 hours or more depending on the extent of the surgery.
Anesthesia: Normally general anesthesia.
In/Outpatient: Outpatient.
Risks: Although liposuction is very safe and effective, it is a surgical procedure and can cause complications such as infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. In addition, aesthetic complications such as skin irregularity or waviness can occur if too much fat has been removed. Fortunately, complications are uncommon and most patients are satisfied with their results.
Recovery: Back to work: 1 to 2 weeks.
Strenuous activities: 2 to 4 weeks.
Swelling and bruising: 1 to 6 months or more.
Duration of Results: The results of this procedure are permanent when accompanied by a sensible diet and exercise.
