Liposuction
Introduction
Stubborn fat can sometimes remain despite healthy eating and regular exercise. These areas of fat may not respond to lifestyle changes, leaving many people frustrated. Liposuction is a safe and effective surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat deposits, reshaping the body and helping you achieve a more sculpted and balanced appearance.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that targets and removes excess fat from specific areas of the body. Using a suction technique, fat is gently extracted through small incisions, improving body contour and proportions. It is not a weight-loss method but rather a body-shaping procedure.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
- Individuals with stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
- Those close to their ideal weight but seeking improved body contour
- Patients with good skin elasticity for smoother results
- Non-smokers and generally healthy individuals
- People with realistic expectations about outcomes
Treatment Process – Step by Step
- Consultation: Assessment of problem areas and creation of a personalised plan.
- Preparation: Anaesthesia is administered (local or general, depending on the area).
- Incisions: Small, discreet incisions are made.
- Fat Removal: A cannula (thin tube) is inserted to break up and suction out fat.
- Shaping: The area is sculpted for a smooth, natural result.
- Closure: Incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied.
⏱ The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on the treated areas.
After Treatment Instructions
- Wear compression garments as advised to support healing and reduce swelling
- Avoid strenuous activities for 2–4 weeks

No, it is a body contouring procedure designed to remove stubborn fat, not a method for weight loss.
Most people return to work in 1–2 weeks, but full recovery can take several weeks.
Yes, fat cells removed by liposuction do not return. However, maintaining results depends on a healthy lifestyle.
Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and under the chin.
Incisions are very small and strategically placed, so scars are minimal and fade over time.
This varies per patient, but safety guidelines usually limit removal to 4–5 litres in one session.
