Liposuction is the most popular cosmetic operation and is very safe and effective. The best candidates are those of relatively normal weight with isolated, fatty areas. Almost all areas of the body can be treated and the results are permanent. The average operating time is 1-2 hours, depending on the areas treated, using local anesthesia with sedation, and sometimes general anesthesia. There is usually minimal discomfort with recovery in 1 - 2 weeks.
