What is liposuction?

With liposuction, fat is surgically removed from specific areas, resulting in a more trim and thin figure. This technique can also be used to either masculinize or feminize your figure, depending on your surgical goals. Common locations for liposuction include the neck, arms, abdomen, buttocks, flanks, back, and legs.

What are the benefits of liposuction?

Liposuction improves the body's appearance and the patient's health. Liposuction is a popular procedure in Western Canada because it is an effective way to achieve desired results. For example, liposuction can be performed when a person has increased weight or obesity or has lost weight but still has stubborn fat pockets. This procedure removes unwanted fat cells through tiny incisions and can often be utilized in combination with other surgical procedures to enhance results.

Your Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure. First, the area to be treated is marked, and a small incision is made discreetly in the skin. Dr. Genoway then performs liposuction in a three-step process. The fat is first separated from the surrounding tissue using specialized liposuction cannulas. After this crucial step, the fat is carefully aspirated and removed from the body.

A third step redistributes the remaining fat cells leaving you with a smooth and uniform contour. Dissolving sutures are used to close small incisions, and waterproof dressings are used to allow you to shower immediately after surgery.

Liposuction Recovery

Following your liposuction procedure, you will be wrapped in a compression garment or an elastic bandage. It is essential to wear this garment as Dr. Genoway directed to minimize swelling and help your skin conform to its new shape. You might experience some bruising and swelling for the first few weeks, but this will gradually improve. Most patients take approximately two weeks before feeling their best.

The final results from your Surrey liposuction procedure may not be immediately noticeable and can often take several months to appreciate as the swelling goes down. This is why it is very important to wear your compression garment. In addition, you will notice a significant enhancement in the contour of your body and a reduction in the size of stubborn fat pockets.
