Mommy Makeover Liposuction

Many patients who get a Mommy Makeover take advantage of liposuction to remove fat from the abdomen, flank, hips, and thighs.

The Surgery:
Because liposuction only requires a small incision into which a narrow tube for suction is placed, it also offers patients much faster recovery times than other plastic surgery procedures. Liposuction involves inserting a narrow tube (cannula) into fatty deposits, breaking up fat cells, and suctioning them out using a vacuum pump or syringe. The procedure can be performed on several areas on your body during a single session.

Recovery:
After surgery, you will likely wear a snug elastic garment over the treated area to control swelling. Because liposuction only requires small incisions for the tubes inserted, recovery is the fastest for this procedure. General discomfort will last approximately a week and will depend on the other procedures you had in your Mommy Makeover.

Results:
Parts of your body that had liposuction will be noticeably different very soon after surgery and the changes will be even more apparent in four to six weeks when swelling subsides. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can help keep the fat from accumulating in the treated area again.
