Liposuction
A procedure used to contour the body and remove discreet areas of fat
Excess fatty tissue is removed with liposuction to improve the contours of the body.
Liposuction is a way to reduce pockets of unwanted fat from the body. It is ideal for patients who are at or close to their ideal weight and have had difficulty getting rid of specific areas of stubborn fat deposit. Dr. Klok will work with you to determine which areas are best suited for liposuction. During your initial one-on-one consultation session with Dr. Klok, you will receive the benefit of her years of experience – she will guide you through the whole process and advise as to which surgical approach is best suited to your goals
What to expect?
Liposuction is performed under general anesthetic and patients can return home the same day. Liposuction uses a hollow tube attached to a powerful suction to remove fat. The fat deposit area is filled with a solution that helps decrease pain and minimize bleeding.
How long does it take to recover?
There will be bruising that may last up to two weeks and swelling that can last anywhere from six weeks to three months. Most patients can resume normal activities and return to work after two weeks.
