Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. It helps reshape and contour the body, enhancing natural proportions without addressing skin laxity. Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, but a body sculpting technique.

Liposuction can improve areas such as:

• Abdomen and waist (“love handles”)
• Thighs and hips
• Back and bra rolls
• Arms
• Double chin and jawline
• Chest (including male gynecomastia correction)

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are in good overall health and at or near your ideal weight
• Have localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise
• Have good skin elasticity (for smooth retraction after fat removal)
• Have realistic expectations about results
• Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-procedure

Performed under local or general anaesthesia depending on treatment area

Small incisions (barely visible) are made through which a thin cannula removes fat

Fat is suctioned out to sculpt desired contours

Procedure duration varies based on the number of treated areas

Possible risks include:

• Swelling, bruising or temporary numbness
• Contour irregularities if healing is uneven
• Infection or bleeding
• Loose skin if elasticity is poor (may require skin tightening surgery)

Recovery after a facelift requires patience but is generally well tolerated.

• First week: Swelling, bruising and mild discomfort; compression garment is required
• Weeks 2–3: Bruising fades, swelling decreases, patients return to work & continue t wear the pressure garment
• Weeks 4–6: Contours begin to refine; light exercise can resume
• Months 3-6: Final results appear with smoother, sculpted contours

Liposuction is a safe and effective way to remove stubborn fat and refine body shape. With proper recovery and lifestyle maintenance, results are long-lasting and confidence-boosting.
