A Doctor You Can Trust!When you want to, or have to get Plastic Surgery done, it is rightfully a frightening concept to come to grips with. The internet is so full of bad examples and uncommon issues

Local tourism options What you need to know about Liposuction in Cape Town?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that “sucks” out fat from areas that are hard to lose through a healthy diet and exercise, while liposculpture is the shaping of the skin back to its desired shape. Both are done in conjunction with one another at the same time. Most areas can be treated. Traditionally the most popular areas to treat are the stomach/abdomen, chin and neck, love handles, arms, and inner and outer thighs. Becoming more popular are the knees, calves and ankles, all with very successful results.
While liposuction can permanently remove fat cells and alter your body shape, it should not be viewed as a quick fix for individuals who are significantly overweight. The procedure works best for those who have already lost some weight themselves and are close to their ideal weight but need help tackling stubborn areas of fat in problem areas.
What's the Recovery Time for Liposuction Procedures?
Numbness in the specific area of your body where the fat was removed is to be expected for the first couple of weeks, usually, this will improve after 6 to 8 weeks. You may also need to wait a few days before going back to work. As for your normal activities, especially exercise, you may have to wait a few weeks before resuming.
Overall, the recovery time may vary from patient to patient. In most cases, patients can return to light activities within 2 to 3 days and are also able to go back to work after two weeks. As for the results, you may see visible results after 3 to 4 weeks, however, it can take several months before you see the final outcome.
What's the Success Rate of Liposuction Procedures in Cape Town?
Liposuction remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries with a success rate of 85%, offering patients the enhanced body shape they've been craving. However, just like any other surgeries, it also comes with possible risks. Complications vary and are dependent on the procedure is as well as your surgeon’s skills. Possible risks and complications include:
- Severe bruising
- Inflammation
- Blood clot forms in veins, causing inflammation and complications (Thrombophlebitis)
- Kidney or Heart problems - changes in the body's fluid levels during the procedure may cause kidney or heart problems.
- Pulmonary embolism - when fat gets into your blood vessels and travels to your lungs, eventually, blocking your lungs.
