Common Liposuction FAQs


Individuals who consider liposuction to improve their appearance often have many questions regarding the procedure and want to find informative, accurate answers. It is absolutely imperative that an individual consult with a Colorado Liposuction specialist in the field to get the answers that most apply to their personal situation. For the purposes of this article, we will answer some very general, frequently asked questions that may help to provide some initial information.

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?

Liposuction is said to be the most popular form of cosmetic surgery performed today. It is chosen by many people who, even though physically fit, struggle with stubborn fat accumulation in certain areas. If you feel you have such areas, you are likely a candidate for liposuction. It is recommended for those who are physically fit, who exercise regularly and are generally not more than 20 pounds overweight. Liposuction is not used as a weight loss aid. If you are very overweight, it is recommended that you lose excess weight first and use liposuction only to remove smaller fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise.

What is SmartLipo?

SmartLipo uses laser technology to remove fat cells from small problem areas. A very fine laser beam is used to blast the fat cells and break them down. A liquid such as saline is added at the same time which makes the fat cells easier to vacuum out.

Does Liposuction require anesthetic?

In most cases, for regular liposuction the patient receives a total anesthetic. For laser assisted liposuction, or Smartlipo, a local anesthetic or epidural is used.

Where is laser liposuction most often performed?

Laser liposuction is generally used for smaller areas that produce stubborn fat deposits such as underarms, back of the knee, thighs, face and neck.

Will I notice results right away?

With traditional liposuction, you will not likely see a difference for two to four weeks. With laser liposuction you should notice a difference within a week.

How much time do I need to take off for laser Lipo?

Laser Lipo generally heals much more quickly than traditional liposuction. Most individuals return to normal activities within a couple of days.

How long will the procedure take?

The length of the procedure generally depends on the size of the area being treated. Very small targeted areas can be completed in under an hour while larger areas may take up to several hours. Your surgeon should be able to tell you during your consultations how long you can expect your procedure to take.

What can I expect after treatment?

You can expect some swelling and possible light bruising of the surrounding areas after treatment. A compression garment of some sort will have to be worn for a few days to help control this bruising and swelling. You may also have some incisions left open to drain during the initial healing period. Your surgeon may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection. Moving around right away is recommended to prevent blood clots that can form if you remain too sedentary. Stay patient and the results of your surgery will soon appear!
