Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to remove stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and neck. It is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction helps contour and reshape targeted areas, resulting in a slimmer and more proportionate body appearance.
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that breaks up and sucks out excess fat deposits from a specific area of the body. It is not a method for losing weight, but a contouring process used to treat resistant fat that defies diet and exercise.
One or more areas can be treated with liposuction at one time.
It is not ideal for weight reduction, removal of cellulite, or tightening loose skin.
Liposuction is generally done under general or local anaesthesia, based on the location and quantity of fat sucked out. Important steps are:
The procedure will take 1 to 3 hours, depending on how extensive.
Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your goals and body type.
Early results are noticeable in a few weeks, but overall results take 3–6 months, once swelling completely resolves and the body adapts.
Yes—fat cells lost via liposuction do not return. But if you gain weight afterwards, existing fat cells will increase in size and new fat may accumulate elsewhere. To maintain results, a stable weight and healthy lifestyle are essential.
Liposuction eliminates fat, not skin. If your skin is loose or stretched, it might not retract completely after fat removal. In these cases, combining liposuction with a skin-tightening procedure (e.g., tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift) may be recommended.
Selecting a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon greatly reduces the likelihood of complications.
Discomfort is typically described as mild to moderate soreness, like aching muscles. Pain is easily controlled with medication, and most people are back to light activity within a few days.
Typically, 2 to 5 liters (about 4.5 to 11 pounds) of fat can be safely removed in one session. For larger volumes, multiple sessions or staged procedures may be needed. Your surgeon will advise what’s safe for your body.
No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution. It’s best for patients who are already close to their ideal weight but want to improve body proportions and shape.
If you’re frustrated with localized fat pockets and want to sculpt your body into a more refined shape, liposuction could be a highly effective option. A personal consultation is the best way to determine your ideal treatment plan.
Liposuction is not so much about fat removal as it is about contouring. It assists you in uncovering the shape that you’ve struggled for by attacking resistant areas and achieving balance for your body. When it is done effectively, the outcome is natural, becoming, and confidence-enhancing.
