Liposuction

• Abdomen: Both upper and lower belly, as well as the waist, can be sculpted through abdominal liposuction.
• Face: Liposuction can contour areas like the neck and double chin, enhancing facial definition.
• Legs: This includes the thighs, buttocks, knees, and calves, which often store fat and can be significantly reshaped.
• Arms: Fat in the upper arms (particularly around the triceps area) can be removed effectively.

Benefits of Liposuction

Liposuction offers numerous advantages for patients seeking body contouring:

• Improved body shape: The procedure results in a firmer, more sculpted physique, enhancing symmetry and proportions.
• Boost in confidence: Patients often feel more self-assured in their bodies after the procedure, improving their daily social and emotional well-being.
• Minimally invasive risks: Liposuction is considered a low-risk procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon.
• Local anesthesia option: Depending on the area and technique, the surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, avoiding general sedation.
• Effective fat removal: Liposuction can target localized fat deposits that diet and exercise often fail to address.
• Long-lasting results: Once removed, fat cells do not return—provided a healthy weight is maintained.
• Quick recovery time: Modern liposuction techniques allow for shorter downtime and a more comfortable recovery.

How Is Liposuction Performed?

Liposuction can be performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

The surgeon begins by making small incisions in the targeted area. A thin cannula is inserted to loosen and suction out the fat, which is then collected in a sterile container.

In some cases, the extracted fat may be purified and re-injected into other areas of the body (such as the buttocks or face) for volume restoration or enhancement.

After the fat is removed and the area is contoured, the incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, and a compression garment is typically applied.

Are There Any Risks?

Liposuction is generally safe and well-tolerated, but as with all surgical procedures, minor side effects may occur.

• Temporary swelling or bruising may appear post-op but typically resolve within days or weeks.
• Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified surgeon.

When Will I See Results?

• Initial improvements are visible shortly after surgery.
• Final results become evident over the next 2 to 3 months, as swelling subsides and tissues adjust.

The results are permanent, but maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is essential to avoid future fat accumulation.

Each patient’s case is unique. After a personal consultation and clinical assessment, the doctor will provide a detailed cost estimate tailored to your needs and goals.
