After Weight Loss

Liposuction

Liposuction helps create smoother, more defined contours and is often used to treat areas that have not responded well to diet and exercise. It is most commonly performed on areas like the abdomen, thighs, hips, flanks, arms, and neck.

Test

What's involved?

About Liposuction

Are in good health and have realistic expectations.

Scarring

In terms of scarring, liposuction typically results in very minimal scarring, no more than 3mm per site.

There is the need for lymphatic massage after any operation with liposuction, as it helps reduce the swelling quickly and smooth out any small contour abnormalities from uneven swelling.

Recovery

Compression garments are worn after liposuction to reduce swelling and help the skin conform to the new body shape.

Manually lymphatic massage is paramount to achieving a good result.
