Treatment Guide
Liposuction
Liposuction surgery, also known as lipoplasty or liposculpture, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is commonly performed on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, arms, and chin. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's preference.

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a method for improving body contour and proportion. It is intended for individuals who are close to their ideal weight and have stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. While liposuction can provide significant improvements in body contour, it's important to note that it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise routine is essential for long-term success. Liposuction can help kickstart a healthier lifestyle by removing stubborn fat deposits, but it's up to the individual to maintain their results through healthy habits.

  • Generally healthy individuals close to ideal body weight. Liposuction is not recommended for those significantly overweight or as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
  • Suitable for individuals struggling with localized, diet-resistant fat deposits.

Types of Liposuction Procedures
  1. Tumescent Liposuction:

    Commonly used for safety and precision. Injects a numbing solution for controlled fat removal. Solution minimizes discomfort, bleeding, and bruising.

  2. Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL):

    Uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat before removal. Effective for denser fat deposits, like the back or male chest. Benefits fibrous or tough fat deposits.

  3. Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL):

    Involves laser energy to liquefy fat, reducing bleeding and hastening recovery. Laser stimulates collagen production for improved skin tightening. Applied in smaller areas like the chin or arms.

  4. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):

    Utilizes a vibrating cannula for efficient fat removal. Ideal for fibrous areas, reducing strain on the surgeon. Enhances comfort for both the patient and the surgeon.
