What is Liposuction at JW Plastic Surgery?
Remove unnecessary fat for a smoother and slimmer body line!
Even women of normal weight often have certain areas such as the waist, hips, abdomen, or arms where they wish to appear slimmer. When localized fat in specific areas like the lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or arms disrupts body balance, it can be difficult to achieve noticeable results through exercise or dieting alone. In such cases, liposuction surgery may be necessary to restore ideal body contour.

Liposuction Surgery Procedure
- STEP 01
Prior to surgery, the target areas for fat removal are marked, and the amount of fat to be extracted is determined. - STEP 02
The procedure is usually performed under sedation anesthesia. - STEP 03
A small incision is made in the surgical area, and through that incision, a fine suction cannula is inserted to extract the fat. - STEP 04
After surgery, patients usually wear a compression garment or bandage. However, if only a small area is treated, taping is usually sufficient. .

Liposuction-Post-Surgery Recovery
Hospitalization is generally not required after liposuction, but if a large amount of fat is removed, a one-day hospital stay may be recommended.During the first week, visiting the clinic twice for treatment is sufficient, and most postoperative care is completed within a week.
There is no need to restrict daily activities, in fact, light movement and regular activity can help speed up recovery. Since the procedure is performed on areas not easily visible, most people can return to work life within a few days.

Wearing a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks helps the treated area to recover evenly.
Swelling typically subsides within around a week, and as the skin tightens and firms up,
the final results are visible over the course of 2 to 6 months.
“Therefore, the full and optimal results of liposuction are usually seen a few months post-surgery.”
Liposuction-JW Plastic Surgery Tip!
One of the most common issues after liposuction is an uneven skin texture.
To minimize this, a tumescent solution is thoroughly injected into the surgical area before surgery.
This special solution also helps reduce bleeding during the procedure.
It is also important to preserve a proper layer of subcutaneous fat directly beneath the skin, as this helps prevent surface irregularities and dimpling.
Therefore, receiving treatment from a highly experienced specialist is essential to avoid side effects and achieving smooth results.
Liposuction-Post-Surgery Fat Regeneration

Many people wonder whether fat will come back and the body will return to its original shape after liposuction.
The answer is “No.”
Before puberty, the number of fat cells in the body increases, causing weight gain. However, after puberty, the number of fat cells remains the same, even if you gain or lose weight. When you gain weight after puberty, it’s because the existing fat cells enlarge, not because new ones are created.
Since liposuction removes fat cells, the number of fat cells does not increase again. Of course, if you continuously to overeat, the remaining fat cells can grow, leading to some weight gain, but it is not possible to return to the same condition as before.
