Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure used to sculpt specific areas of the body by removing unwanted fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. With today’s advanced techniques, liposuction is an effective way to improve your body’s proportion, creating a more attractive, shapely figure. Areas that are commonly targeted for liposuction treatment include the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, or neck.

The liposuction procedure is relatively simple. After creating a small incision near the fat deposit, the surgeon inserts a narrow suction tube or cannula. This device is used to vacuum out excess fat, creating a firmer, trimmer appearance. After treatment, the patient wears a compression garment to speed recovery and reduce swelling.

Liposuction at Dr. Fathy Clinic is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, although patients who undergo a large volume removal may require a short hospital stay. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, discomfort, and numbness. Most patients can return to work and non-strenuous activities in as little as one week.

What are the costs for Liposuction?

It is almost impossible to provide an accurate estimate of liposuction fees unless the surgeon has had the opportunity to examine the patient. Factors that determine cost of liposuction procedures include the amount of time and effort required of the surgeon, cost of anesthesiologist's services, and other related expenses, such as lab fees, compression garments, etc.
