The Procedures

- Dr. Gupta will begin by making several small incisions in the treatment area. Through the incisions, he will insert a cannula (small, thin tube) and move it back and forth through the fat deposits to break up the fat. Once the fat has been broken up, Dr. Gupta uses gentle suction to remove it from the body. He works carefully to produce smooth contours and avoid any surface irregularities for a flawless result.
- Once Dr. Gupta has finished removing the fat, will place a compression garment over the treated area to minimize post-operative swelling and help the tissues conform to their new contours.
- There will be some bruising, swelling and mild discomfort after liposuction; however, with the compression garment in place, swelling will be minimal and will subside quickly. The other side effects are also temporary.
The Incisions
The incision for liposuction and fat injections is very small, 1 centimeter or less. Depending on the number of areas liposuction is performed, there will be multiple small 1 centimeter incisions.
