FAQ's
Q: When will I see my results?
A: This is once again dependent on the individual’s body and recovery, but the general expectation is 2-4 weeks after the surgery, when the bruising and swelling has dissipated.
Q: Will I have noticeable scarring after the procedure?
A: If the reason for surgery is excess fatty tissue and this is corrected using liposculpture only, the scars are small and inconspicuous.
