It depends on where the procedure is being done and how big the area is. Local anesthetic or general anesthesia can be used. Your surgeon will recommend the type thats best for you.

Liposuction is a versatile procedure and can be used to contour the neck, arms, legs, abdomen, back, bra fat, and love handles.

Anesthesia minimizes pain during the liposuction procedure, so most people don’t feel discomfort. However, mild to moderate discomfort pain is common during the recovery phase.

The fat cells removed during the procedure do not grow back, making the effects permanent in those areas. However, weight gain after liposuction can lead to fat storage in different body areas.

The main goal of liposuction is body contouring rather than weight loss, so while you may see a size reduction, the focus is on achieving a more proportionate, sculpted shape.
