Liposuction procedure
There will be some bruising for a few days. Recovery is very fast and in simple cases you will be able to return to your daily activities within few days.
Clinical Examination:
During the first examination, Dr. Georgiou will explain you the procedure, the technique he is using and the complications that eventually can occur. Pictures will be taken and this will help you get a better view of the areas that can be treated and the results you may expect.
Dr Georgiou will offer you a second consultation, where you can get further explanations and answers to your questions. This will help you understand the whole procedure and have a clear view about the treatment you need.
The day of surgery:
The whole plastic surgery procedure will last about 2-3 hours. After the infusion of the fluid and after achieving complete numbness of the areas, a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted from the plastic surgeon through small incisions to loosen excess fat, using a controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or a syringe attached to the cannula. As this fat is removed, the layer of fat left behind is sculpted into aesthetically pleasing curves.
Note that during the liposuction you will be awake and there is no pain. At the end of the plastic surgery, you will be asked to stand up, so to check together with your plastic surgeon the results. If needed further refinements can be done, in order to achieve a symmetrical result.
After the procedure:
Once the procedure is completed, a compression garment or elastic bandages will cover the treated areas and you will be transferred back to your room. Usually after 1-2 hours you'll be able to return home. As the small incision remains open, any excess blood or fluid will drain out. This will last from 24 to 48 hours.
The first few days you will have some pain but this can be controlled easily with pain killers. There is no restriction of movements, but in contrary you will be recommended to take frequent walks. There will be some bruising for a few days. Recovery is very fast and in simple cases you will be able to return to your daily activities within few days.
The results:
A difference in your body contour can be seen soon after the liposuction. However, improvement will become more apparent after about 4-6 weeks, when the swelling will dissolve. After about 3-6 months the swelling will completely be dissolved and you will be able to see the final result. The scars are very small and they can be hardly seen.
