How long does liposuction take and what is the estimated recovery period?

The time taken for a liposuction procedure will depend on what kind of liposuction is used and how much fat you want removed. Small procedures can take as little as half an hour. If large parts of the body are treated then the surgery can take four to five hours. It also depends on whether you combining liposuction with any other cosmetic surgery like facelift, breast reduction or tummy tuck. Liposuction treatments include:

• Traditional liposuction or tumescent liposuction
• Laser assisted liposuction that uses laser to liquefy the fat before removal
• Ultrasound liposuction that uses ultrasound waves to liquefy the fat

For liposuction on large areas, you may have bruising and swelling for 10 days or more. You may require a week off from work, though this depends on the individual. Mostly all liposuction treatments require time to show results and the non-invasive ones take a longer time than the invasive ones.
