No stitches are used in this operation. After the procedure, an elastic garment is put on, and you are taken by stretcher to the recovery room. After Liposuction, you may loose a pound or two that you don't regain. However, if you regain more weight, it has to go somewhere. Your body will store it in new areas.
Liposuction is very safe and effective.
It is a surgical procedure and can cause complications such as infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. The suctioned area will tend to ooze fluid into the suctioned space. These can usually be treated by drawing the blood or fluid off in the office with a needle and syringe. Fortunately, complications are uncommon and most patients are satisfied with their results. Liposuction is not the answer to weight control, rather it is a surgical method of contouring the body.
