About the Operation

Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure in which local fat deposits that do not dissolve with diet and exercise are removed by aspiration through thin metal cannulas. Different technologies are available such as Tumescent (infiltration solution), VASER (ultrasonic), Power Assisted (PAL), and Laser Assisted (LAL). Liposuction aims to improve body shape, not to lose weight; ideal candidates are individuals at stable weight with good skin elasticity.

Application Details

  • 1Thin cannulas are inserted into the area to break up and aspirate fat cells.
  • 2VASER liposuction provides more precise and smoother results with ultrasonic energy.
  • 3The extracted fat can be washed, purified, and then injected into another area of the body such as the buttocks or cheeks (fat transfer).
  • 4Wearing compression garments for 4–6 weeks after the operation is recommended.

Who Is It Suitable For?

  • Individuals at stable weight who are troubled by local fat deposits that do not dissolve with diet/exercise
  • Adults aged 18–60 with good skin elasticity who want to improve body contour
