weight. In fact, a number of
patients have had liposuction and
have subsequently gained weight.
The areas originally treated by
liposuction have maintained their
new desirable silhouette, whereas
areas not treated by liposuction
have been the sites of new
deposits of fat.
The best candidates for
liposuction are in good health

activities is achieved because the
Tumescent Technique eliminates

significant decrease in swelling,
inflammation and pain after the
surgery, patients are able to return

week or two after this procedure.
Some patients do find the soreness
after surgery more significant than
others do, but on the average, most
patients are quite surprised at how
quickly they are able to return to
normal activity.
