How big are typical liposuction scars? Are there any forms of liposuction that leve no scar at all? I am 6'4" and only slightly overweight. I am interested in getting liposuction around my stomach, buttocks, thighs and face...I was curious if its okay to get numerous body areas treated at one time and if there is a limit to how much fat they can remove in one treatment?

Answer: Liposuction scars depend on size of canula used Micro canulas no more than few millimeters in diameter is typically used in a pure tumescent liposuction under mild sedation and typically leave minimal scar. Larger canulas are typically used in traditional liposuction done under general anesthesia so that the procedure can be completed quicker but can leave behind larger liposuction scar. For a fair skin person, the scar typically is not very noticeable a year after liposuction. On the other hand, ethnic skin may experience prolonged post-inflammatory pigmentation which can make the liposuction stand out for some time.

Answer: Size of scars from liposuction There is no way to produce an invisible scar if liposuction is done. The insertion scar can be very very small but when you stretch the skin even a year after, you can see the little fine white line. The diameter of the cannula, the round instrument used to aspirate the fat, is the determining factor in the size of the scar. Some procedures such as ultrasonic liposuction use larger cannula so the scars may be slightly bigger, but for tumescent liposuction or other types of conventional liposuction, including power-assisted liposuction, the size of the cannula is the cause of the lenghth of the scar. Most liposuction scars heal well, if not, they can often be improved.
