The accumulation of fat under the skin that forms the hump can be removed with liposuction. As long as you do not gain weight the fat reduction is long-lasting. Tumescent liposuction is the best technique to remove the unwanted fat. The cost of the procedure will vary depending on the skill, experience and the specialty as well as board certification of the surgeon and the geographic location in the country. It is a limited procedure that can be easily performed in the office while you are awake, reducing the cost by avoiding surgery center fees and anesthesia fees. A price cannot be quoted without a consultation.

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided
information as well.. This is the surgical
procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most
performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order
to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It
can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin,
abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small
incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied,
it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After
liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months
after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment
for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at
least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many
time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain.
Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an
accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also
really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery,
that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your
body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use
compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure
and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing
it’s shape if you use your garment.. Hugs!

Liposuction permanently removes fat from the given treated areas. If your weight is stable, then you will not see enlargement of the treated area.
