Love handles that won't budge, a double chin that hides your jawline, bra rolls you can't train away. Liposuction targets the specific fat pockets that diet and exercise leave behind. Small incisions and precise cannula work sculpt each trouble spot individually, removing fat cells permanently and revealing the leaner, more defined contours that were always underneath.
What Is Liposuction?
This precision fat removal procedure eliminates localised deposits resistant to diet and exercise, sculpting areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and chin for smoother, more proportionate contours.
Our partner surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to deliver natural-looking outcomes tailored to your unique body shape, with reduced downtime and lasting results.
Common Concerns Liposuction Can Address
- Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Uneven body contours or unflattering bulges
- Excess fat around the waistline affecting clothing fit
- Lack of muscle definition despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle
Are You a Good Candidate?
- Within 30% of your ideal body weight
- Good skin elasticity to contract smoothly after fat removal
- Realistic expectations about results
Techniques & Options
No two bodies store fat in the same way. Your surgeon will assess your fat distribution, skin elasticity, and the density of each deposit during your consultation to recommend the best approach. The procedure can target a single stubborn area or sculpt multiple zones in one session, from love handles and bra rolls to the chin and inner thighs.
There are three main techniques:
Tumescent Liposuction
The gold standard technique using a saline solution to facilitate fat removal and minimise bleeding. Can be performed under local anaesthesia for smaller areas.
- Reduced bleeding and bruising compared to traditional methods
- Can be performed under local anaesthesia for smaller areas
- Excellent precision for sculpting and contouring
- Shorter recovery time with less post-operative discomfort
Vaser Liposuction
An ultrasound-assisted technique that liquefies fat cells before removal, allowing for more precise sculpting and smoother results. Ideal for fibrous areas and high-definition contouring.
- Particularly effective for fibrous areas like the back and male chest
- Preserves surrounding tissues, blood vessels, and nerves
- Promotes skin tightening through collagen stimulation
- Ideal for high-definition body sculpting and athletic contouring
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Uses a mechanically vibrating cannula to break up fat more efficiently, allowing for more uniform results. Particularly useful for dense or fibrous fat deposits.
- Faster procedure time with less physical trauma
- Particularly useful for dense or fibrous fat deposits
- More precise control in delicate areas
- Reduced swelling and faster recovery compared to traditional methods
Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3
Swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort are normal and expected. You'll wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce fluid build-up. Light walking is encouraged, and your care coordinator will check in daily.
Week 1–2
Swelling begins to subside and bruising fades gradually. Most patients return to light activities and desk work after 5–7 days. You'll start feeling much more like yourself as comfort improves each day.
Weeks 3–6
Most swelling resolves and you can gradually resume normal activities including moderate exercise. Results become increasingly visible as residual swelling diminishes and contours sharpen.
Months 3–6
Final results emerge as all swelling resolves and skin contracts to reveal your new contours. Incision sites fade to nearly invisible marks within a few months.
What to Expect
Safety & Risks
Liposuction is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon, but like all surgeries, it carries some risks.
- Contour irregularities or asymmetry
- Seroma requiring drainage
- Infection at incision sites
- Temporary numbness or sensation changes
- Temporary skin discolouration
- Fat embolism (rare)
Because liposuction involves multiple potential treatment zones, your surgeon will evaluate each area individually and explain how fat density, skin elasticity, and cannula technique influence your specific risk profile.
