Body contouring at PRIVATE: liposuction and tummy tuck
PRIVATE offers mini liposuction for small areas, full-body liposuction for diffuse fat, tummy tuck for loose abdominal skin after weight loss, and hip-up fat grafting using the patient's own fat.
Last updated: 2026-08-31
Mini vs full-body liposuction
Mini liposuction suits small areas such as the upper arms, inner thighs and a small belly, with a short procedure and quick recovery. Full-body liposuction suits people with fat in multiple areas who want whole-body reshaping.
Tummy tuck and hip augmentation
A tummy tuck suits people with loose abdominal skin or separated abdominal muscles after pregnancy or major weight loss. Hip-up augmentation uses harvested fat to add curves.

The body is analysed from every angle, then only the excess is removed while volume is preserved where it belongs. Takes about 2–3 hours with 1–2 weeks of recovery.
Abdominoplasty
For markedly lax abdominal skin after childbirth or weight loss, combining liposuction, skin excision and abdominal-wall repair. Takes about 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia.

Frequently asked questions
- Will liposuction cause a big weight drop?
- Liposuction is body shaping rather than weight loss. The number on the scale may not drop much, but proportions and waistline usually change noticeably.
