Liposuction may be performed under general or local anaesthesia, depending on the part of the body being treated and the amount of fat that is to be removed.
It can be the sole procedure done or performed along with another procedure like a face lift, breast reduction or abdominal reduction. In all cases, it is normal for your anaesthetist to give you intravenous fluids to replace those lost during your procedure.
Liposuction surgery takes between 30 minutes and several hours depending n the number of areas treated and the volume of reduction.
Less extensive liposuction may be performed as a day case. For larger volume reductions or multiple areas treated, an overnight hospital stay is sometimes recommended.
