Liposuction
Overview
Liposuction addresses stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is a contouring procedure, not weight loss. Suitable patients are close to their goal weight with good skin elasticity.
The goal is shape refinement and improved proportion, not an artificial or over-sculpted look. If you have significant loose skin, liposuction alone may worsen laxity, and a lift procedure may be more appropriate.
What to Expect
Liposuction may be performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic depending on the number of areas and expected volume. Common treatment areas include abdomen, flanks/love handles, waist, hips, inner/outer thighs, knees, arms, back rolls, and chin/neck. VASER liposuction uses ultrasound-assisted technology to help emulsify fat and is often selected for fibrous areas where contour definition is a key goal. Recovery involves soreness and swelling, with compression garments worn for several weeks. Most patients return to desk work within 1-2 weeks.

FAQs
Is liposuction weight loss?
No. Liposuction is contouring. It removes stubborn fat deposits but does not replace healthy weight management.
How many areas can I treat at once?
It depends on safety, operative time, and recovery demands. Treating multiple areas can improve overall balance, but we recommend what is safe for your health profile.
Will the fat come back?
Removed fat cells do not regrow, but remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Stable weight helps preserve results.
Will I have loose skin afterwards?
If skin elasticity is good, it can retract well. If skin is already lax, liposuction alone may worsen looseness. This is assessed carefully.
When can I return to work and exercise?
Desk work is commonly possible within 1-2 weeks (sometimes sooner for small areas). Exercise typically resumes after 4-6 weeks if cleared.
