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 leaving some stubborn areas unimproved. These attempts at weight loss tend to be frustrating at the least. Liposuction may be a good solution. 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 this LA plastic surgery not knowing what to expect after the procedure is done. Liposuction is performed with local anesthesia or under general. 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 Driver 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. You will be advised to leave this on until you meet with the doctor, usually three to five days following your surgery. You may return to work a week after surgery. Most patients who go forth with liposuction can return to strenuous activity two to four weeks after surgery. A full recovery from the surgery will take between four months to a year after surgery.
