Dr. Marco Correa is a plastic surgeon who specializes in liposculpture, which is also known as liposuction. He is based in Singapore and provides services in other areas such as breast augmentation, body lift after weight loss, endoscopic surgery, etc. Dr. Marco Correa aims to contour the body by eliminating areas of stubborn fat.

Patients are required to wear a support garment for up to 3 weeks after liposuction surgery. In the first 2-3 days, they can expect fluid to drain. Complete recovery takes approximately 3 weeks, but it can take up to 3 months to see the final results.
