Scottsdale – Liposuction or “lipo” continues to be a popular procedure in the U.S. At the AB Guerra Plastic Surgery Center, liposuction is the 2nd most popular procedure. Lipo in Scottsdale is a little different when compared to liposuction performed elsewhere. Here are the 5 quick facts that you should know before having liposuction.

1. Tumescent technique is best for outpatient liposuction, because it leads to minimal blood loss.

2. Ninety percent of liposuction is performed as outpatient surgery.

3. The standard is not to remove more than 5 liters of fat in one surgery, if the patient plans to go home the same day.

4. The more lipo you have, the longer your recovery. It is usually less then 2 weeks for most patients.

5. Everyone who has liposuction gets swelling, bruising and a moderate degree of pain during the short recovery period.
