What is liposuction in Washington DC?
Liposuction is a procedure that focuses on removing excess fat resulting in a more contoured and slimming figure.
A recent CNN article found that there has been a larger amount of liposuction procedures in comparison to other plastic surgeries.
“More than 1.9 million liposuction procedures were recorded worldwide in 2021, a jump of almost 25% from the preceding year.”
As an overall trend, the cosmetic surgery industry has become even more popular in the past 5 years.

What you need to know about liposuction surgery:
Liposuction surgery will take between 1 to 4 hours. The recovery time is about 3 to 5 days. Luckily, you will be able to recover at home. The surgery does not require you to stay overnight.
We recommend you find a surgeon with ample experience. Surgeries can be scary, and it is essential that you trust the doctor who will be doing the surgery.
Lastly, you will need to have a consultation before the surgery. In the consultation, you will discuss the target area(s) for fat removal, what traditional tumescent liposuction is, what power-assisted liposuction is, what skin elasticity is, and your lifestyle and activity levels.
