Overview
Liposuction and liposculpting are highly effective cosmetic procedures designed to remove excess fat and enhance body contours. These procedures target stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, creating a more toned and sculpted appearance. At our clinic, we offer a range of liposuction options, including traditional liposuction under general anaesthetic and minimally invasive techniques performed under sedation with advanced technologies like VASER and Renuvion.
Benefits
Liposuction and liposculpting are ideal for men and women who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Suitable candidates typically include:
Individuals with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise
Those seeking to improve body contours and achieve a more sculpted appearance
People who are close to their ideal weight but want to enhance specific areas of their body
Individuals committed to maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle post-procedure
Types of Liposuction/ liposcupting
Traditional Liposuction: This tried-and-true method involves the use of a cannula to manually break up and suction out fat deposits. It is typically performed under general anaesthesia and is highly effective for larger areas of fat removal.
VASER Liposuction: VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction uses ultrasonic waves to emulsify fat before removal. This technique, performed under sedation, allows for more precise sculpting and less damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother contours and quicker recovery.
Renuvion Liposuction: Combining liposuction with Renuvion technology, this procedure uses helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin while removing fat. Performed under sedation, Renuvion liposuction provides enhanced skin contraction, making it an excellent choice for patients seeking both fat removal and skin tightening.
The Procedure
Anaesthesia or Sedation: Administering general anaesthesia for traditional liposuction or sedation for VASER and Renuvion procedures to ensure comfort during the surgery.
Incision: Making small incisions in the targeted areas to insert the cannula or ultrasonic device.
Fat Removal: Using the chosen technique to break up and remove excess fat deposits. Traditional liposuction uses manual suction, while VASER and Renuvion utilise advanced technologies for precise and gentle fat removal.
Sculpting and Contouring: Carefully sculpting the treated areas to create a natural and aesthetically pleasing contour.
Closing the Incisions: Suturing the incisions and applying dressings to support healing.
Recovery
Recovery from liposuction and liposculpting varies depending on the technique used and individual healing rates. Here’s what to expect:
First Few Days: Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common and can be managed with prescribed medication. Wearing compression garments helps to reduce swelling and support healing.
First Few Weeks: Gradual return to normal activities; light walking is encouraged to promote circulation. Avoid strenuous activities until cleared by your surgeon.
4 to 6 Weeks: Most swelling and bruising should subside. You can begin light exercises, but avoid high-impact activities.
3 to 6 Months: Full recovery and final results become more apparent as your body continues to heal and adjust to its new contours.
