Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas. Liposuction is also known asLipoplasty and body contouring.

You may be a candidate for liposuction if you have too much body fat in specific parts of your body but otherwise have a stable body weight.

When you gain weight, fat cells increase in size and volume. Liposuction reduces the number of fat cells in a specific area. The amount of fat removed will depend on the appearance of the area and the volume of fat contained in that area. The resulting contour changes are generally permanent — as long as your weight remains stable.

Liposuction is done using 4 techniques:

1 Liposuction

involves a cannula that is inserted and then pushed back and forth to break down fat that will then get removed with a suction.

2 Laser Liposuction

uses laser technology to soften and liquify the fat on the treated areas enabling it to be easily removed through a probe.

3 Vaser Liposuction

utilises ultrasound to break down the fat, causing less damage to the tissues. The fat is then removed with suction from a small probe. Vaser Liposuction is suitable for both men and women, wanting to tackle stubborn areas of fat. It is a minimally invasive form of liposuction, resulting in very little downtime and recovery time.

4 Vaser Hi-def Liposculpture

Vaser High Definition Liposuction targets the superficial layer of fat that sits directly above your muscle structure. Using an ultrasound-assisted probe the fat is removed, whilst muscles are toned and defined, providing a more athletic figure. This can be a great surgical solution for both men and women who want to achieve a more sculpted appearance.
