Liposuction Recovery

Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgery in America today. Unfortunately, exercise and diet do not always reduce our body’s fat deposits. Often attempts at weight loss end up causing the face to become gaunt and breasts to deflate and sag. These attempts at weight loss tend to be frustrating at the least.  Liposuction can improve or remove fat from the arms, abdomen, neck, waistline known as love handles or flank area, outer and inner thighs, and the knee area. Many people go into surgery not knowing what to expect after the procedure is done. Liposuction can be performed with local anesthesia. The total length of the surgery can be one to two hours. After surgery you will have to have someone drive you home from the surgery center and stay with you that night. If you don’t have someone that can drive you home or stay with you here at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery we have many different options from you to choose from. Whether it you choose a nurse to come stay with you at your hotel or home, or a healing retreat located in a hotel. Following surgery the Doctor will put a dressing on you to help with the swelling.
