What is Liposuction?

• Liposuction surgery, also called lipoplasty,
  liposculpture suction, lipectomy, or lipo, is a
  type of cosmetic surgery that breaks up and
  sucks fat from the body.
• It is often used on the stomach, thighs, butt,
  neck, chin, arms, calves and back. Fat is removed
  using a hollow instrument known as a cannula. It
  is inserted under the skin. A powerful
  high-pressure vacuum is created in the cannula.
• Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgery
  in Miami, Florida. In Miami, more than 200,000
  procedures are performed each year and cost
  approximately 2,0003,500.

Liposuction Treatment Benefits

  discomfort, and pain.
• Liposuction can improve the patients appearance
  by providing a more natural looking body fat
  distribution.

  40 percent of their BMI may need treatment to
  remove excess skin and other abnormalities.

During the Procedure

• Some liposuction procedures may require only
  local or regional anesthesia.
• The surgical team will monitor your heart rate,
  blood pressure and blood oxygen level throughout
  the procedure.
• The procedure may last up to several hours,
  depending on the extent of fat removal.
• Before your liposuction starts, your doctor might
  mark the areas of your body that will be treated.

9
After the Procedure

• Expect some pain, swelling and bruising after the
  procedure.
• The surgeon may leave your incisions open and
  place temporary drains to promote fluid drainage.
• During this time, expect some contour
  irregularities as the remaining fat settles into
  position.
• You may need to wait a few days before returning
  to work and a few weeks before resuming your
  normal activities including exercise.
