Body contouring
Sculpting surgery
What does it do?
Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery designed to remove fat from localized areas and improve or reshape the body’s contours. Commonly referred to as body contouring, it targets specific regions to achieve a smoother, more proportionate figure.
This procedure can address areas like the chin, neck, cheeks, upper arms, breasts (for both men and women), abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankles.
While liposuction surgery can provide excellent results, it's important to remember that it is still surgery, and carries risks. Recovery may involve discomfort, and in rare cases, there can be serious complications. It's crucial to carefully consider this decision and consult with an experienced surgeon before proceeding.
Several benefits include:
Tumescent Liposuction
During this technique, the surgeon injects a specific solution that contains anaesthetics into the affected areas. It reduces the possibility of bleeding and pain during the surgery so that it can be done under only local anaesthesia.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction
In ultrasound-assisted liposuction, ultrasound is applied to the treatment area to break down small pockets of fat so that more extensive volumes of fat can be removed. A popular subtype is Vaser liposuction, a type that offers exact sculpting of the body.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser energy melts the fat, making it easier to remove and can also help to tighten the dermis since there is a production of heat during the cosmetic procedure.
Suction-Assisted Liposuction
This works like a vacuum to suck the excess fat out, which is the traditional method. Then there is Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL), which includes a tool that provides more movement to the cannula, making it easier for the surgeon.
All about the plastic surgery procedures.
How does Liposuction work?
Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure designed to sculpt, contour, and refine specific areas of the body by removing excess fatty tissue with specialized equipment. The procedure begins with local or general anesthesia. A small incision is made to administer a solution that minimizes pain during the procedure. Once the anesthetic takes effect, fat is removed via a vacuum suction thin tube called a cannula. Afterward, drainage tubes may be inserted to prevent fluid buildup. A compression garment is worn post-surgery to reduce bruising and swelling, and patients typically appreciate their new body shape as recovery progresses.
Duration of the treatment
How long does the surgery take?
The duration of liposuction surgery can range from under an hour to more than three hours, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Pain management during and after the procedure
How painful is liposuction surgery?
Pain from liposuction varies by individual. Most patients report feeling like they have a substantial bruise in the treated areas, which typically results in mild discomfort. While some discomfort is expected, it is generally manageable. Moving around, even lightly, can help reduce pain and promote healing during recovery. It's important to avoid prolonged periods of rest to minimize stiffness and discomfort.
Fat recurrence due to unhealthy lifestyle
Will the fat regenerate after the surgery?
Fat does not regenerate in the area where it has been removed through liposuction. However, remaining fat cells in the body can expand if you gain weight. To maintain the results, it's important to follow a healthy diet and an active lifestyle after the procedure.
Noticeable gradual results
Will I see an immediate result?
Swelling after liposuction can persist for several months, which may delay the visibility of your final results. While most swelling subsides within four weeks, the full effect may not be apparent until several months after the procedure. Wearing a compression garment for 4-6 weeks post-procedure helps control swelling and aids in recovery. Patience is essential, as the body needs time to fully heal.

Who is the ideal candidate?
Liposuction is a personalized surgical procedure that helps achieve the best body contours. It should be done out of self-fulfillment, not to meet societal standards. Liposuction may be the right answer for those who have stubborn fat despite diet and exercise efforts. The ideal candidate is an adult within 30% of their target weight, with firm, elastic skin, and good muscle tone. It is important to be generally healthy without severe comorbidities for successful recovery. The best outcomes are often seen in nonsmokers who have a positive attitude and clear goals for body contouring.
Can a Risk Be Prevented?
Liposuction is invasive, and candidates must understand the risks. While generally safe, some side effects may include bumpy skin due to uneven fat removal or poor skin resiliency, and numbness from nerve injury. Infections, though rare, are serious risks. In worst cases, if the cannula penetrates too deeply, internal damage may occur, requiring immediate surgery. Fat embolism, where fat particles enter the bloodstream and travel to the lungs or brain, is a severe but rare risk. Large-volume liposuction is linked to renal, cardiovascular, and pulmonary complications. Lidocaine toxicity is another potential risk. It is essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon before deciding on surgery.
