Does liposuction usually require an overnight stay?

Orchard40
I am 5'3 and 130 lbs . I'm looking at having some lipo on my bra bulge, my upper arms and my thighs. I work out 5 days a week and am in pretty good shape. Does not seem like it would be a surgery that would require an overnight stay but during my consult, they said it would be necessary. I don't have health issues. Is this an odd requirement or a normal ask from a PS given my scenario.
