What will a liposuction do for me?
A liposuction may improve body shape by removing exercise-resistant fat deposits with a tube and vacuum device.

How long is the procedure?
A traditional liposuction can last up to 2 hours. An Ultrasonic-assisted Liposuction takes an extra 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete.

What is the cost of a liposuction surgery?
The average cost of liposuction surgery is generally around $2,500 depending on the target surgical area.

What kind of anesthesia is used?
Depending on what you and your surgeon agree on, liposuction surgery may use local, epidural, or general anesthesia.

How long before I can go back to my normal routine?
Following a liposuction surgery, patients are generally back to work within 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling and bruising will take an average of 1 to 6 months (sometimes more) to completely disappear. Use of tumescent technique or UAL may decrease post-operative bruising and swelling.

How long before I have to get another liposuction?
The results of a liposuction surgery are permanent. However, patients must maintain a sensible, healthy diet and exercise regularly to keep from re-gaining weight.
