FAQ about the Leg Liposuction
1. Is the Leg Liposuction safe?
Yes, it is. The Leg Liposuction is a safe surgery whose effect is not easy to bounce back as it has little effect on the whole body without any involvement with important nerves, blood vessels and deep tissues.
2. Does the Leg Liposuction hurt?
No, it doesn’t. There will be sleep anaesthesia applied on the liposuction site before the surgery so that the whole process is so relaxing without any pain.
3. Will the effect of the Leg Liposuction bounce back?
No, it won’t. Current medicine shows that the number of fat cells in an adult's body is constant. Yet since most of the nonsurgical weight loss methods we know can only reduce the volume rather than the number of fat cells, it's easy for the effect to bounce back.
However, the Leg Liposuction is a surgery that permanently reduces the number of fat cells. Once the number of fat cells is reduced and never grows again, and a good lifestyle is kept, the effect of the Leg Liposuction will never bounce back.
4. How many days do I need to rest after the Leg Liposuction? Does it affect my normal work?
The Leg Liposuction doesn't affect normal postoperative activities such as working as it is generally targeted at some parts of the body with less impact on the whole. But preferably 1 to 2 days' rest is suggested as there may be some slight postoperative swelling and local seepage. Avoid strenuous exercise during the recovery period, and wear tight trousers based on the doctor's advice so as to recover as soon as possible.
5. Does the Leg Liposuction work immediately?
Yes, it can work immediately. But as a surgery with inevitably postoperative swelling, it has a basic recovery time of one week after which you’ll surprisingly find that an ideal effect has been achieved.
6. Will the legs become uneven after the liposuction?
Many people worry that the legs will become uneven after the liposuction. Yet this problem can be avoided as experienced doctors will elaborately design the liposuction area before the surgery and estimate the amount of liposuction. So you don’t need to worry about it.
7. Are there any preoperative tests to be taken before the Leg Liposuction?
Yes. An overall physical examination and test shall be taken to exclude organic lesion. Besides, females should avoid their menstrual periods. In short, liposuction shall be taken with sufficient physical and mental preparation. As for postoperation, just follow the doctor’s advice.
8. Can people with severe obesity receive the Leg Liposuction?
For the majority of those beauty seekers with severe fat accumulation, they are often accompanied by "obesity disease". It is recommended that they take a thorough physical examination first to see if liposuction is appropriate for them. If the result of the examination proves out of question, then liposuction can be performed.
9. What parts can receive liposuction? Can liposuction be performed on them simultaneously?
In fact, liposuction is suitable for a wide range of parts, including the face, lower jaw, neck, upper arms, back, waist, abdomen, thighs and shanks, with the abdomen, waist and thighs most common. Multisite liposuction can be simultaneously performed on mildly obese people while severely obese people can solely receive liposuction by one part each time.
10. Can liposuction be performed on different parts at a time?
Liposuction is a relatively safe and reliable plastic surgery generally, but it can be dangerous if it is performed on several parts at a time. According to the specific condition of beauty seekers, generally one to two parts are sucked at a time. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. If the beauty seekers are fat, the amount of anesthetics used during the surgery is large. And for those who are nervous or afraid of pain, intensive anesthesia can be adopted.
