How long does a liposuction surgery take?
A traditional liposuction procedure requires 2-4 hours. Several factors influence the surgical duration, such as the number and size of areas treated, the amount of fat to be removed, the surgeon's experience, the technique used, and the complexity of the procedure.
Does the elasticity of my skin affect liposuction results?
Skin elasticity indeed affects the treatment results. If you have good skin elasticity, your skin will appear natural post-liposuction. However, if you have poor skin elasticity, the skin may appear uneven.
I am older and have poor skin elasticity; how much effect can I expect from liposuction?
As you grow older, the firmness and elasticity of your skin decrease. So, when an aged person undergoes liposuction, the chances of having a smooth skin appearance are comparatively less. You may see wrinkles in some areas of the skin after liposuction due to reduced elasticity. You may need other surgical procedures to remove the excess skin, which might add to the cost.
How is recovery after a liposuction treatment?
During recovery, you may feel soreness and discomfort at the surgical site. The surgeon may prescribe pain medications to control this discomfort. You can also wear loose-fitting clothes and give yourself plenty of cushions and pillows for support. In addition, a compression garment can be worn to ease your recovery journey.
