FAQS
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn pockets of fat from specific areas of the body, helping to contour and define your physique. It is particularly useful for those who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle to shed excess fat. Dr. Chen, a Total Definer™ master, utilizes advanced high-definition liposuction techniques to sculpt precise and natural-looking results.
How does liposuction work?
Liposuction involves making small incisions in the targeted areas. Dr. Chen inserts cannulas (tiny tubes) through these incisions to gently suction out excess fat, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Depending on the treatment area, you’ll either be under local or general anesthesia during the procedure.
What areas can liposuction treat?
Liposuction can target various areas of the body to improve your overall shape and boost confidence. Common treatment areas include:
Chin
Neck
Cheeks
Upper arms
Hips
Thighs
Abdomen
Knees
Buttocks
Dr. Chen also combines liposuction with other procedures, like tummy tucks, to further enhance body contouring results.
What should I expect during recovery from liposuction?
Recovery after liposuction typically takes about 3-4 days, with most patients returning to regular activities within two weeks. You may experience pain, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas, which is normal. Dr. Chen may provide compression garments to help reduce swelling and promote healing. It's important to follow a healthy lifestyle to maintain your liposuction results.
Am I a good candidate for liposuction?
Liposuction is ideal for those who are near their goal weight and in good overall health. During your consultation, Dr. Chen will discuss the procedure’s limitations and help set realistic expectations. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a method to sculpt and refine your body shape.
