What is Liposuction?
Who May Benefit
Individuals with stubborn fat deposits in specific areas, that does not respond to diet and exercise. Those wanting to address their overall body shape and contour. Adults with good skin elasticity who can achieve optimal results. People at a stable weight seeking to reduce excess fat.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Stable Weight
Close to target weight and maintained for six months.
Good Health
No serious chronic conditions affecting surgery or recovery.
Expectations
Understanding of liposuction as a body contouring, not weight-loss, procedure.
Firm Skin
Good skin elasticity to optimise contouring post-surgery.
How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthesia Administration
The procedure typically begins with the administration of anaesthesia, which can be local or general, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's preference.
Incision and Cannula Insertion
Small incisions are made in the target areas, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted. This cannula is used to break up and suction out the excess fat.
Fat Removal and Closure
The surgeon carefully removes the fat through the cannula, and adjusts the area for desired contouring. Once complete, the incisions are closed, and compression garments may be applied to support healing.
What is the Recovery like?
- Soreness, swelling, and bruising may last for several days.
- Light activities can resume within a week; avoid strenuous exercise.
- Avoid strenous activities for 4-6 weeks or until advised by your surgeon.
- Follow-up visits are essential to monitor recovery progress.
