You may need this if...
These signs may indicate that this treatment is the recommended course of care:
- Stubborn, localised fat not responding to diet or exercise
- Good skin elasticity in the treatment area
- Stable body weight
- Realistic expectations about contouring rather than major weight loss
A plastic surgeon's evaluation confirms whether this treatment is the right option for you.
What Does Liposuction Involve?
Liposuction removes localised fat deposits through small incisions using a thin cannula, refining body contour in areas resistant to diet and exercise.
Liposuction is best suited to refining specific areas of stubborn fat rather than overall weight loss.

The Care Pathway
1. Consultation
Target areas and skin quality are assessed to plan the procedure.
2. Procedure
Fat is removed through small incisions using a thin cannula.
3. Compression Garment
A compression garment supports skin retraction and reduces swelling.
4. Follow-up
Contour and healing are reviewed as swelling settles over the following weeks.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to full recovery.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Considerations
Most patients achieve a more refined contour in the treated areas. Your care team will discuss individual risks before the procedure.
Every treatment has individual considerations. Your care team will discuss what to expect based on your specific situation.
What to Expect During Recovery
Most patients return to light activity within a few days, with final contour visible over one to three months.
Your care plan includes wearing a compression garment, activity precautions, and follow-up to monitor contour and healing.
Following your care team's guidance closely during recovery plays an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
Questions to Ask Your Care Team
- 1.Which areas am I a good candidate for?
- 2.How long should I wear the compression garment?
- 3.Is this a substitute for weight loss?
- 4.When will I see the final result?
