How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We treat stubborn, defined areas through tiny incisions and sculpt the surrounding contour so the result reads as natural shape. Most cases take one to two hours, you wear a compression garment for six weeks and the final contour shows at three months.
- Abdomen and flanks
- Inner thighs
- Chin and neck
Your visit, step by step
- Before
A consultation with photographs and a plan of the areas, plus a pre-operative visit.
- During
One to two hours under local anesthetic with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the areas.
- After
A compression garment, light walking from day one and a review at one week.

Contour is a surgical decision
Power-assisted liposuction uses a powered cannula for fat extraction and contouring. It does not answer the same anatomical question as removing excess skin with an abdominoplasty.
- Separate skin laxity from localized fat.
- Discuss scars, anesthesia and recovery support.
- Ask about staging after substantial weight change.

Good to know.
Is liposuction for weight loss?
No. It reshapes defined areas on people near the weight they want; your surgeon advises whether it suits you.
Will the fat come back?
Treated fat cells are removed; keeping your weight stable keeps the contour.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should an individual assessment clarify before I consider liposuction?
- How will the surgeon assess my health, goals and suitability, including alternatives to surgery?
- Who provides anesthesia, where would surgery take place and how are complications and follow-up handled?
