Liposuction removes localised pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping to refine body contours rather than achieve weight loss. These areas often persist despite an otherwise healthy lifestyle and can affect how clothing fits or how balanced certain areas of the body feel. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, hips, thighs, back, arms, chest and under the chin.

The procedure works by gently removing fat through small incisions using a fine cannula. The aim is to reduce volume and improve shape while allowing the skin to adapt to its new contour. Liposuction can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other surgeries such as tummy tuck, thigh lift or fat transfer, depending on individual goals and anatomy.

Recovery is progressive. Swelling, bruising and firmness in the treated areas are expected initially and improve over time. Compression garments are used to support healing and help the skin settle. This procedure is best suited to patients with stable weight and good skin quality who are seeking targeted contour improvement rather than overall weight reduction.
