What this site is for
It exists to let a patient tell ordinary recovery after liposuction from a problem that needs to be seen, and to be honest about what can be done for a contour that has not come out as expected. That is why the red-flag routing sits above every explanation on this page, and why the pages on contour correction say plainly that the answer is usually to add fat rather than to remove more.
What it deliberately does not do
It does not name brands of products, garments or devices: techniques and substances are described by class only. It does not quote prices, and it does not promise that a contour defect can be fully corrected or that skin will redrape. It does not publish an emergency telephone number, a room number or a set of opening hours of its own, because a number printed on a website can be wrong at the moment it is needed most.
The facts kept visible
Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. Clot and embolism are the dangers of the first days, they appear away from the treated area, and they need emergency care rather than a review. Swelling takes months to settle, so a result judged early is a judgement about swelling. And correcting a dent usually means adding fat rather than removing more.
How the content is reviewed and corrected
Tongchun Mao, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Aesthetic Surgery, is the responsible physician. Every guide is reviewed against his clinical judgement before publication and reviewed again on a six-month cycle. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us, and corrections are made to the page itself.
