Liposuction in Dayton

Liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia, which helps minimize pain during the procedure. Most patients report feeling minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. Post-surgery, any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure your recovery is as comfortable as possible. 

The results from laser liposuction are considered permanent because the fat cells that are removed do not grow back. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet is crucial to preserving these results long-term. While the fat cells that are removed won’t return, weight gain can affect other areas of your body. 

Most patients can return to work within 2-3 days after liposuction. The recovery time can vary depending on the specific areas treated and the extent of the procedure. For more extensive procedures, such as a combination of liposuction and skin removal, full recovery might take slightly longer. Your surgeon will give you personalized guidance based on your treatment plan.
