Liposuction
Precise removal of stubborn, diet-resistant fat to refine and sculpt the body's contours — for the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back and more.
What it is
Liposuction removes localised pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise, sculpting a smoother, more proportionate contour. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method, best for stubborn areas in patients near their target weight.
Who it's for
- Stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Disproportionate areas such as flanks, abdomen, thighs or back
- Patients near their target weight wanting refinement
- Good skin elasticity for the best contour
The procedure
Performed under general or local anaesthesia with sedation, lasting one to three hours depending on the areas. Fat is removed through tiny incisions. Usually day-care.
Recovery & aftercare
A compression garment is worn for four weeks. Most return to desk work within a week; full activity at four to six weeks.
