Liposuction Surgeons - North America

Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that helps patients obtain more defined, shapely body lines. Liposuction is considered a permanent procedure. It takes from 45 minutes to two hours to complete and has a recovery time of two to three days. The duration of the surgery depends upon how much fat a patient wishes to be removed, and from how many areas. One of the more popular types of liposuction is the tumescent liposuction, during which a surgeon injects a solution of saline, anesthetic and blood constricting drugs into the fatty tissue in order to make the area swell and become firmer. This helps increase the safety and precision of the liposuction procedure. Alternatives to tumescent liposuction are the super-wet technique and the ultrasound-assisted liposuction. The best candidates for liposuction are individuals in good health and with healthy self-esteem. Patients considering liposuction should consult a board-certified plastic surgeon who can help assess the benefits, costs, risks and side effects of this procedure.
