05 Sep Liposuction body contouring

Liposuction is a body contouring surgery that removes deposits of fat cells from targeted areas of the body. It is an excellent option for patients that have achieved a healthy body weight and are sitting within 5lbs of their goal weight, but still have pockets of fat that aren’t responding to their diet and exercise efforts. Aside from this, diet and exercise cannot target specific areas for fat loss. Though patients may have achieved their goal weight there may be stubborn fat that lingers in unwanted areas. In a single liposuction treatment session, we can efficiently sculpt and contour the body to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

Liposuction has evolved significantly since traditional plastic surgery methods. We now have specialised techniques that offer even better results with less trauma to the body. These techniques also offer a shorter recovery time. What’s so great about newer techniques is our ability to truly customize your procedure, achieving the exact shape, definition and curves you want.

Contouring the body isn’t just about fat loss. For excellent liposuction results good skin elasticity is a must, because while liposuction removes excess fat cells, it is not useful in tightening the skin. Healthy, elastic skin will retract in areas where fat has been removed, fitting nicely along your new body shape. If skin quality is an issue, patients may see loose or excess skin after their surgery. For these kinds of patients, we have additional procedures that can be combined with liposuction like J-plasma, tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift and body lift. These procedures remove excessive skin and drape the skin tightly to the body.
