Liposuction is a significant surgical intervention, and you will need to rest afterwards so that your body can recover. While small areas can be treated under local anaesthetic, a general anaesthetic is often used, which means you may need to stay in hospital overnight.
You will have recovered from surgery after between two and six weeks, and the final result of your liposuction will be apparent after six months. Aftercare is essential for the best results, and Elena will talk through all the precautions and care you need to take post-surgery with you. The clinic will closely monitor your progress during follow-up consultations during the first year after surgery.
Liposuction carries the same risks as all surgical procedures, such as bleeding, infection, and a bad reaction to anaesthesia. Of course, the risk of these problems is minimised by choosing an excellent surgeon, but Elena will discuss all the potential issues before you decide to go ahead.
