About Liposuction
Liposuction removes excess fat deposits from specific body areas (abdomen, thighs, arms, chin, back) using suction. Modern techniques include tumescent, VASER (ultrasound-assisted), and laser-assisted liposuction. It contours the body but is not a weight loss procedure.
What to Expect
Under general or local anaesthesia with sedation, small incisions are made near the treatment area. A cannula (thin tube) is inserted to break up and suction out fat. Surgery takes 1–3 hours depending on areas treated. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks.
