Question

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

Hello foreveryoung908 and thanks for your question. 100 cc is a small amount and it would take less then 30 minutes to perform a small amount of liposuction. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.

For surgery, the area will need to be prepped and cleaned, then draped, then tumescent fluid will be injected. It is best to wait up to 20 minutes, sometimes even 30, the let the local anesthesia settle in well. Liposuction of only 100 cc's should not take long unless tiny bits are removed from several locations. A dressing and compression are applied. Altogether, it may take from 30-60 minutes depending upon your surgeon. Ask your surgeon how long this procedure should take.

Hi, there.Liposuction of 100cc is not much.  Once everything is set up, it may take 10-30 minutes.  Without knowing the specifics of surgery, I cannot comment for sure.Best to ask your plastic surgeon.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

In general, a small procedure to remove 100 cc's may be very short. The setup probably will take as longs the procedure. I can;t say exactly how long because I do not have any information on the exact procedure, nor am I the treating physician.
