A specific elastic bandage is placed after surgery, sometimes associated with a support girdle.

According to the case, anesthesia may be local, deep if administered intravenously by tranquilizers or general.

This will be the subject of a discussion between you and your surgeon during a consultation.

+ And the scar ?

There is a small scar of about 3 mm, very discreet.

+ How long is the surgery?

The intervention takes 1h in average but varies from 20min to 3h, depending on the importance of Liposuction.

Hospitalization usually lasts one day.

The postoperative courses are not very painful because of the thinness of the cannulas and decreased by a mild treatment of analgesic.

Bruising (bruises) and an edema (swelling) appear on the treated area.

You will have a "modeling" bandage placed.

The resumption of daily activities is fast, between 3 and 6 days.

Sport and great efforts are not recommended to you during the first 3 weeks.
