Before we tackle the question does liposuction hurt? Lets define Liposuction is a typical cosmetic surgery operation in the United States among men and women who want to reduce weight or improve their body contour. Chin/neck; abdomen; inner thighs; outer hips; bra fat pockets; back & buttocks; flanks; arms; hands; breasts; the channel is the most often treated region.

 

What Exactly Is Liposuction?

Liposuction is the most frequent cosmetic surgery performed in the United States today. This surgical procedure includes eliminating fat cells from particular regions of your body via an incision made on the skin`s surface. Suction devices are used during this procedure to remove extra fatty tissue that has been loosening by the surgeon`s knife or cannula.

 

Is Liposuction Painful?

Liposuction does not cause significant discomfort, but it might cause bruising and swelling that can linger for up to two weeks. Most patients can manage liposuction pain well enough to finish their surgical recovery at home. Because the region will be numbed and you will be sleeping during the operation, your liposuction surgery will be painless. Most people are pretty uncomfortable after the procedure and require pain medication for a few days.

 

Will liposuction remove the excess skin in my abdomen, arms, thighs, or other areas?

Although you will minimize the quantity of fatty tissue in the treated region, the remaining skin will frequently only tighten little, if at all.

Liposuction does not cure extra skin on its own. During a VASER high definition treatment, Doctor Mowlavi will address your excess skin. He will combine Renuvion JPlasma therapy with skin excision.

When fat is removed from an area with loose or hanging skin, the region can sometimes worsen. I urge my patients to visualize themselves removing the water from a water balloon. With the water gone, you`re left with the same quantity of balloon as before, but it now seems deflated. The same thing might happen after liposuction, depending on the condition of your skin.

Individuals with firm, undamaged skin and no stretch scars may have adequate skin tightening following liposuction. People with thin, sun-damaged skin or stretch marks may notice that their skin seems deflated after liposuction since it is unlikely to tighten completely once the fat is removed.

 

How long will it be before I can return to work or usual activities?

This varies considerably depending on the surgical method utilized and the amount of tissue removed.
