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.
