The duration of your particular procedure will vary according to the areas treated, the presence of scar tissue and many other factors. In general, Liposuction is applied comprehensively to body areas, usually treating circumferentially, as opposed to “spot” treatments commonly seen with other methods. Liposuction is also frequently utilized in combination with other cosmetic procedures, such as abdominoplasty, breast surgery, and chest surgery. Surgeries can range from one hour to many hours, depending on their extent and complexity.
