Why Patients Choose Lumen
What to Expect During the Procedure
This procedure is completely non-surgical. Instead of traditional incisions, only tiny nicks in the skin – often referred to as “freckle indents” – are made, requiring no stitches. A small injection cannula is then used. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, similar to what you would receive at a dental office. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients returning to work within 3-4 days.
The procedure generally takes three hours, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas. The steps include:
- The target area is first infused with a saline solution that contains a local anesthetic.
- A very small incision, just 3-5 mm in size is, created. Through this opening, a slender cannula (tube) delivers a controlled stream of energy beneath the skin directly into the fat cells. This energy causes the fat cells to rupture, and the loosened fat is gently suctioned away. The heat produced during the process minimizes bleeding, swelling, and bruising, leading to faster healing. Stitches are not required.
- Additionally, the liposuction stimulates collagen production, which continues to tighten and firm the skin over time.
FAQs
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?
Initial improvements are visible within days to weeks; full results emerge over 1–3 months as swelling subsides and skin tightens. Results are permanent in treated areas, assuming you maintain a stable weight. Fat cells removed won’t regenerate, though new fat can accumulate elsewhere if you gain weight.
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen or flanks, then purified and re-injected into the buttocks for a fuller shape and natural contouring.
Who's a candidate for liposuction?
A good candidate for this procedure is in good health and relatively close to their ideal weight. Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment and is meant to address localized pockets of fat and help contour the body by removing unwanted fat. It can also address areas of your body that are not proportionate to your body overall.

How can I prepare for the procedure?
Arrange for someone to drive you home. Wear comfortable, loose clothing. Avoid smoking in the weeks leading up to surgery. Stay hydrated, eat well, and prepare easy meals and a rest area at home. Follow all pre-op instructions provided during your consult.
Will the fat return after liposuction?
Fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, if you gain weight, remaining fat cells in the body can enlarge, which may affect the treated areas. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve results.
