Body contouring

Body liposuction

Body liposuction at VIEW removes excess fat from areas such as the thighs, hips, abdomen, waist, arms and back to create a tighter, more proportional body contour.

Who it suits

  • Localised fat resistant to diet and exercise
  • Wanting a tighter body proportion
  • Skin still has good elasticity

Technique highlights

  • Multiple areas can be treated together
  • Techniques that minimise tissue trauma
  • Can be combined with facial fat grafting

Surgical steps

  • Mark target areas and plan the liposuction
  • General anaesthesia and tumescent infiltration
  • Suction fat through small access ports
  • Wear compression garment and recover

Recovery & aftercare

  • Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
  • Wear compression garment for 4–6 weeks
  • Light exercise in 2–3 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • This is body contouring, not weight loss
  • Severely loose skin may require skin excision

Frequently asked questions

Can fat return after liposuction?

The removed fat cells do not return, but the remaining cells can expand if you gain weight. Maintaining weight is key to long-term results.
