On this page we will discuss the costs, preparation measures, procedures and aftercare related to liopsuction.
Who Need Liposuction
Having liposuction can remove fat from several different areas on the body. Hips, thighs, buttocks and back are just a few of the areas most aided by liposuction procedures. Males have also found success with using liposuction procedures to remove male breasts (known as gynecomastia) and fatty tumors (known as lipmoas), however the main purpose of Liposuction is to help a person attain a perfect looking body.
How Liposuction Sculpt Your Body
The main advantage of liposuction is that it will remove local fat from your body. When you are having a procedure done first you will receive a local anesthesia, your doctor will then mark the fatty area needing to be removed with a pen. The surgeons performing the procedure will make an incision into your skin and a tub that is about the size of a pen will then be inserted through the incision. The other end of this tube will be connected to a vacuum.
Your doctor will then begin moving the vacuum back and forth to begin suctioning out the fat. A large portion of body liquid will also be removed along with the unwanted fat. During the surgery, an intravenous line will be used to replace the lost fluids. There are several different techniques used for liposuction-tumescent, fluid injection, super wet and ultrasonic.
Cost of Liposuction
The price of Liposuction can vary due to different factors. These factors include the part of the body being treated, the amount of fat that is going to be removed, the experience of the doctor performing the surgery and the anesthesia. If only a small area of the body is going to be treated by liposuction then the price will be smaller then if a large area is being treated. The national average for the cost of liposuction is $2,000.
Liposuction Aftercare
There is a good chance you will notice a change right away after surgery. Your body will begin to look even better about a week later when even more of the swelling has gone down. Depending on the location and amount of fat being removed from your body your doctor may want you to stay overnight in the hospital. There is a chance fluids will leak from the incision the first day or so after surgery so a drainage tube may be inserted to help drain excess fluid.

You will have to wear tight clothing to compress your skin for a week after surgery. You will also need to take antibiotics and closely monitor the incision area. You will have some discomfort after surgery but if it becomes unbearable contact your doctor as it may be a sign of infection. There is a small chance of being left with a small scar after the incision is fully healed.
