Liposuction

Liposuction is the removal of localized fat deposits. “Liposculpture” is a newer term for it, alluding to the more artful approach of sculpting the treatment area.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure. If you are having trouble losing fat from stubborn areas such as the stomach, thighs, love handles, buttocks and chest, it may be an option for you.

Frequently asked questions

Is liposuction right for me?

If you’re in good health and believe you can benefit from liposuction, you are likely an ideal candidate. It is important, however, to manage your expectations. The procedure has been proven very successful and has provided significant improvements, but it is not a quick fix for much larger health issues.

Abdominal liposuction or a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and sagging skin. If you have only excess fat with minimal skin laxity, you are within the realm of liposuction. Liposuction is also a safer procedure, which has made it the more favourable and common option for fat removal.

Is liposuction a weight-loss remedy?

Liposuction is not a substitute for weight-loss regimens. It is a procedure intended to sculpt your body and eradicate problem areas. Liposuction can be a gateway to further weight loss: when you follow a proper diet and exercise after recovery, you are likely to see weight-loss results at a much faster rate. The opposite is also true: extreme weight-loss activities before surgery make liposuction more difficult.
