Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries because it’s great for targeting stubborn fat deposits that won’t budge despite diet and exercise. Liposuction involves the removal of fat from various parts of the body to improve and reshape existing contours. Commonly requested procedures by patients include love handle liposuction, stomach liposuction, liposuction on calves, liposuction of legs, arm lipo, chin lipo and many others.

Liposuction breaks up fatty tissue and removes excess fat through a cannula and suction tube. While invasive compared to lipolysis techniques, it produces dramatically better results as it targets stubborn body areas. Liposculpting can be used to enhance underlying musculoskeletal structures such as 6-packs.

If there is laxity in the skin, liposuction on its own isn’t enough to achieve maximum results. Therefore, many patients opt for additional body contouring surgeries in conjunction with liposuction to maximise their desired outcome.

Recovery from liposuction is approximately six weeks. This time depends on a number of factors such as the location and number of surgeries conducted, the patient’s skin type/age/smoking history and pre-existing health conditions.
