What are the most commonly treated areas?
People who have fatty pockets around certain areas of their body, which are disproportionate with the other parts of their bodies, tend to undergo liposuction procedures in order to have a toned body structure.

What are the different liposuction procedures available?
The most common liposuction techniques available today are Laser Liposuction (Smart Lipo), Vaser Liposuction (Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction) and Tumescent Liposuction. Laser and Vaser treatments can be combined to produce best results.
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
Liposuction is not a permanent weight loss program. It is basically for people who have isolated pockets of fat cells which make certain areas of their body out of proportion. Fat cells removed by liposuction do not grow back. In case the patient tends to eat more calories than the fat gets accumulated into the existing fat cells which tend to increase in size resulting in weight gain.
What will be the cost of liposuction procedures?
Liposuction costs vary depending upon a number of factors. The costs depend upon the areas to be treated, the surgeon performing liposuction, the type of anesthesia required, the pre and post treatment costs and the facility cost where the treatment takes place.
How long does the procedure take?
Liposuction is usually a day care or a one night long procedure. The procedure usually takes between 1 to 4 hours.
What is the recovery period after liposuction?
The patient can go home on the same day of the treatment. In rare cases a one night stay is required. If the patient follows the pre and the post treatment prescriptions then the recovery is usually faster. The recovery time is usually 2 to 10 days. Some swelling or bruising might occur and persist for a few days.
What are the risks of undergoing liposuction?
There are no major risks of liposuction as it takes place between the skin and the muscles. Depending upon your overall health the surgeon will discuss with you any complications that may arise during the procedure.
