Liposuction at JJ Aesthetic Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, helping to improve body contours and proportion. It's commonly performed on areas like the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck, and back.
Key Features:
Procedure: A plastic surgeon uses a thin tube called a cannula, which is inserted through small incisions in the skin. The cannula is connected to a vacuum that suctions out the fat.

Types of Liposuction:
Tumescent liposuction: The most common method; involves injecting a solution into the area to reduce bleeding and make fat removal easier.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL): Uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat for easier removal.
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL): Uses laser energy to break down fat cells.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL): Uses a vibrating cannula to dislodge fat more effectively.
Ideal Candidates:
Individuals close to their ideal body weight with localized fat deposits.
People with good skin elasticity and muscle tone.
Nonsmokers in good overall health.
Recovery:
Swelling, bruising, and soreness are common in the days following surgery.
Compression garments may be worn to support healing and shape.
Most patients can return to work within a few days to a week, but full recovery can take several weeks.
Risks and Considerations:
Infection, bleeding, contour irregularities, numbness, and scarring.
Not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for diet and exercise.
