What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure where localized fat is broken up and sucked out of the body.  Liposuction is performed by making small incisions in the body in order to insert a thin tube, or cannula, through the incision into localized fat deposits between the skin and muscle of the patient. A suction pump or syringe is then used to suck out localized fat deposits.

What is the recovery time after Liposuction?

Recovery time after liposuction is usually one to two weeks, depending on the area of the body and the amount of localized fat sucked out.  You will see the end results of Liposuction within one to four months after the procedure.

Is Liposuction Painful?

Liposuction is painful but most surgeons perform the procedure under general anaesthesia to ensure that patients don’t feel pain. They also prescribe painkillers for relieving pain after surgery.

Is Liposuction Permanent?

The liposuction procedure permanently removes localized fat. The patient’s body will retain its contour after liposuction, provided the patient does not gain weight.

What is Non-Surgical Liposuction?

Liposuction procedures that do not use injections or incisions are called non-surgical liposuction procedures. These procedures are performed using laser energy, ultrasound, cryotherapy or radiofrequency.

Liposuction Recovery Tips?

Following the doctor’s post-procedure instructions helps patients to recover quickly and effectively after a liposuction procedure. These will include taking sufficient rest, taking prescribed anti-biotics and pain-killers and wearing compression garments correctly. The patient should also start moving as soon as possible to prevent blood clots but should avoid strenuous activities for at least a month.

Now I can wear my sleeveless tops and dressesAnonymous, South Africa, 06 04 22

I recently had a chin lipo and keloid removal. I still cannot believe that I underwent surgery 3weeks ago because I did not experience any pain at all. I was prepared for the pain that I was expecting to kick in after the anaesthesia wore off but that pain never came. My wound is healing perfectly and although am not 100% healed I can tell that the scar will not be visible. Dr Vadia did an amazing job. Am yet to see the outcome of the chin lipo after 6 weeks but so far am getting alot of compliments from family that I look a few years younger than I am. I am definitely making my appointment with him for a Tummy tuck, and a lipo 360. I must commend Judy for being such a helpful friendly person. She is amazing! Thank you Dr Vadia for making me gain my confidence back. Now I can wear my sleeveless tops and dresses!!! Depending on you to make my dreams come true to have a perfect body for my Golden jubilee birthday next year !!! See you soon!!

The consultation was amazing, he understood what I wanted to achieve and explained everything (also giving me options). I’m actually writing this review because I need to go for another treatment and I choose to see this doctor again because of how comfortable he made me feel.

I have no words, she's the best. When I went to consult with her I wasn't sure if I was mentally ready for the procedure, she prepared me psychologically. And as for the surgery itself wow I'm extremely happy with her work. Her staff is also friendly and caring. She's the best.

Dr Maresky is one of the best! I'm more than happy with my breast augmentation. He did such a great job, even better than what I expected. He made me feel comfortable with the whole procedure and would recommend him to anyone looking to have any cosmetic work done.
