During liposuction surgery, you won’t feel any pain as you will be under anaesthesia for the procedure. Post-surgery you may feel moderate pain, discomfort, and soreness for 4-5 days. After the fourth day, the pain will reduce gradually. However, the amount of pain one feels differs from one person to another. For managing pain, your surgeon may prescribe painkillers.

Typically, in liposuction, you can lose up to 4-5 kilograms. The amount of fat that can be removed by the liposuction process totally depends on your BMI and the area where liposuction is performed or from where the fat is to be removed. It is not advised to remove large volumes of fat through liposuction as it may cause health risks. So always consult your doctor to know the amount of fat that can be safely removed for you.

Possible complications and side effects of the surgery are:
- Contour irregularities
- Fat embolism
- Infection
- Numbness
- Fluid accumulation.
- Excessive bleeding or blood clots
- Skin infection
- Lidocaine toxicity

The result of liposuction surgery will be permanent. New fat cells will not grow to replace the fat cells removed by suction. But it is vital to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper exercise and diet after the surgery to encourage healing and maintain a healthier body.

You can see your final liposuction results within 3-6 months after your surgery. The results totally depend on how much fat was removed during the surgery. The more fat is removed, the longer it may take to see the results because your skin takes time to adjust to the new contours.
