Liposuction Perth
Liposuction in Body Contouring and Surgery
Liposuction may be used for localised fat deposits or alongside a skin-removal operation. Skin quality, the area to be treated, your health and previous surgery affect the plan. Liposuction is not appropriate for every patient. Suitability requires an individual medical assessment.
Liposuction risks and limitations
Risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collections, uneven contours, loose skin, altered sensation, visible scars and further surgery. Serious complications can include injury to deeper structures, fluid balance problems, blood clots and anaesthetic complications. Discuss the risks of the proposed technique and any combined surgery at consultation. No particular appearance or symptom improvement can be guaranteed.
Recovery after liposuction
Swelling, bruising and discomfort may persist during recovery. Wound care, a support garment and activity restrictions may be advised. The time needed away from work and exercise depends on the extent of treatment and your healing. Follow your treating team’s instructions rather than a fixed timetable.
