Liposuction
Liposuction is a targeted body contouring procedure designed to remove isolated pockets of stubborn fat that have not responded to diet or exercise. It is not a weight-loss treatment, nor is it intended to address cellulite — rather, it is most effective for patients who are at or near their ideal weight with specific areas of localized fat they wish to improve. Common treatment areas include the arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, ankles, and under the chin.
Performed by Dr. Adibfar at Elements Toronto, the procedure begins with a thorough assessment of skin quality and elasticity — factors that significantly influence the smoothness and quality of the final result. A small cannula is inserted through a tiny incision near the target area to carefully remove the unwanted fat. A compression garment is worn for the first several days to help the body conform to its new shape.
During your consultation, Dr. Adibfar will take the time to understand your specific concerns and aesthetic goals, tailoring the approach to your unique anatomy to achieve results that feel natural and proportionate to you.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but the following timeline provides a general guideline:
- First 48–72 hours: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected. A compression garment is worn immediately following surgery to support healing.
- Days 3–7: Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within a few days, depending on the extent of treatment and the nature of their role.
- Weeks 1–2: Remaining bruising and swelling continue to resolve. The compression garment remains important during this period.
- Weeks 3–6: Contours become more visible as swelling subsides. Exercise and more vigorous activities may be gradually reintroduced once cleared by Dr. Adibfar.
- 3–6 months: Final contours are fully apparent. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve long-term results.
Dr. Adibfar will provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing closely throughout your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.
