What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat from specific body areas. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the skin, and a thin cannula is inserted into the area where fat is to be removed. The cannula is then connected to a vacuum-like device that breaks up and suctions out the fat. This procedure is designed to refine and sculpt the natural contours of your silhouette and address stubborn pockets of unwanted fat.
- Treatment time: 30 min – 3 hours

- Recovery time: 4-6 weeks
- Cost Starting From: $6,000 – $10,000 CAD
Who is a good candidate for liposuction?
A good candidate for liposuction is someone who has localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are within 30% of their ideal weight and have good skin elasticity and muscle tone. They should be in overall good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring procedure. It is best suited for individuals committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-procedure to preserve their results.

What is the recovery after liposuction?
After the procedure, patients are advised to wear a compression garment for six consecutive weeks to help reduce swelling and support the treated area. They should also avoid strenuous activity and exercise for six weeks to allow the body to heal and prevent fluid accumulation. Pain and discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication or prescription medication prescribed by the surgeon. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week after surgery.
When will I see my transformation?
The results of your liposuction procedure can be seen immediately. However, it can take several months for the swelling to subside and for the final results to become visible. Liposuction scars are typically small and located in inconspicuous areas. They may appear red and raised initially, but they should fade over time and become less noticeable. It’s important to note that liposuction permanently removes fat, but weight fluctuations can affect the fat cells that are still present in targeted areas. By maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle, you can enjoy your contoured silhouette and new curves for many years.

Should I do a liposuction or a tummy tuck?
Both liposuction and tummy tuck are surgical procedures used to improve the appearance of the abdomen, but they address different concerns. Liposuction is used to remove stubborn pockets of fat in specific areas, while a tummy tuck is designed to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles in addition to removing fat. The choice between the two procedures depends on individual factors, such as aesthetic goals, body shape, skin elasticity, and overall health. It is important to consult with the plastic surgeon to determine the most appropriate treatment plan and discuss each procedure’s risks and benefits.
