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.

I am very happy with my surgeonApril, Canada, 09 02 26

I had a full facelift with upper and lower eyelid surgery, brow endoscopy, fat transfer from under the chin to the lip area and the tip of my nose and flare reduced. It cost roughly 14 000. CAD or 10 000USD I stayed across the street from both the OAS office and less than a block from the surgery clinic. Face lifts take much longer to heal than other surgeries due to the muscles, nerves and veins of the face. I stayed for 10 days to have stitches removed and ultrasound treatments. I am very happy with my results. I am very happy with my surgeon. His bedside manner and skill and all the staff that assisted me in my recovery.

Thrilled with my resultsBeverly, US, 08 08 24

I’ve been a patient twice…2019 and 2023. The first time, I got upper and lower eye lifts, lower facelifts, and chemical peel and stayed overnight with a 1:1 wonderful nurse in the room with me. The next time I got a chemical peel and wanted a neck lift, but was told during consultation that doing another lower facelift would address the neck. So, I did that again. I did not stay overnight because the staff was making so much noise in adjoining rooms that I decided it best to return to my hotel The surgeons are kind and skilled; the nursing staff were more attentive and professional in 2019, but overall fine in 2023. I felt fine caring for myself with the frequent scheduled follow-up visits with nursing and the docs, more than what you’d get in the US. Thrilled with my results. I look 100% natural, just younger, and fresher, and feel way more confident about my appearance. I’d definitely go back in a few years as needed. I trust the doctors 100%.

I am extremely happy with the resultsPenny, US, 11 11 24

I have had two surgeries by Dr. Alvarenga, a Tummy Tuck 4 years ago and now a recent Facelift. I am extremely happy with the results of the two surgeries. I come to Costa Rica every year from the U.S. to visit this beautiful country and make wonderful new friends every time I come. The Staff and Dr Alvarenga are very kind, caring and extremely professional as well as the surgery centre (Asunción Surgery Center). I would highly recommend Dr Alvarenga to anyone considering plastic surgery. He is an amazing caring man and I would not consider anyone else unless he himself recommended it for some other reason.
