Body & liposuction

Liposuction body contouring

Fat cells are loosened and suctioned through a cannula to slim targeted areas, removed evenly to avoid surface irregularity and skin laxity.

Who it suits

  • Stubborn localised fat that resists exercise
  • Wants to reshape the abdomen, waist, thighs or arms

Technique highlights

  • Even removal for a smooth surface
  • Cannula technique limits tissue and nerve damage
  • Custom-fitted compression garment provided

Surgical steps

  • Assessment of fat layer and skin elasticity
  • Mapping of treatment areas and safe volume
  • Fat is emulsified and suctioned through small incisions
  • Compression garment fitted immediately afterwards

Recovery & aftercare

  • Swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks
  • Garment worn 24h in the first month, then for another 2-3 months
  • Results become clear at 2-3 months

Risks & things to consider

  • Not a weight-loss method; diet and exercise must continue
  • Excessive removal can cause skin laxity
  • Firm scar tissue can take several months to soften

Frequently asked questions

Will the fat come back?

Removed fat cells do not return, but the remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain, so ongoing care matters.
