Can someone please explain what this "lunch lipo" procedure is all about? What are the benefits and risk? Is it just a way for some doctors to make a quick buck?

Answer: Lunch lipo
It is hard for me to know exactly what is being described by the term of "lunch lipo." It may be a proprietary term or simply a marketing phrase. That being said, any surgery is a significant event and should not be taken lightly. I would suggest that you proceed with caution prior to having a significant surgical procedure and then going back to work for the rest of the day. In my practice, one generally has sedation of some form or another (intravenous or by mouth) when undergoing liposuction and this would make returning to work more challenging as well.
Best of luck,
Christopher Davidson, M.D.

Answer: Lunch time lipo
gimmicks in cosmetic surgery are spreading like wild fire...the lunch time liposuction is one. I have seldom seen a patient who could benefit from a liposuction that takes away a few cubic centimeters. consult a board certified plastic surgeon and make sure she or he have a ton of experience, and are credentialed to perform liposuction at the local hospital. all surgeries carry risks and you need to do your homework. some credible surgeons may even offer this minimal surgery, but set your expectations low.
