Surgery is performed under a general anaesthetic or a local anaesthetic with sedation, depending on the area of the body being treated and amount of fat being removed. For a Liposuction Surgery Cosmetic Surgeon will make a small incision in the area being treated, infiltrate the area with tumescent solution. Anaesthetic component of the solution makes the part numb and adrenaline content in the solution will prevent bleeding. Fine cannula is inserted through same incision, which is then attached to a vacuum device that removes the fat cells quickly and efficiently. Post operatively patient will have   pain and bruising that will subside one to two weeks after surgery. However full recovery from liposuction surgery usually takes between six and eight weeks and during this time patients need to wear a support garment to keep the treated area supported and protected. It may take around six to eight months to establish full results. Usually one week of rest is sufficient and one can resume to job with supportive garments.
