Does liposuction require an over-night hospital stay?

It depends on the type and extent of liposuction performed. Some types of liposuction, such as tumescent liposuction or laser-assisted liposuction, can often be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day. However, more extensive liposuction procedures may require an overnight stay in the hospital for monitoring and pain management. Your doctor will discuss the expected aftercare plan with you before your surgery.
