Liposuction
Many people find that, no matter how good their diet is or how much exercise they do, there are still some stubborn areas of fat that refuse to shift. If you are one of these people, liposuction could be the answer.
First introduced in 1982, liposuction has since become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures available. Liposuction has revolutionised body contour surgery since its inception and is now internationally approved as a safe method of removing unwanted fat.
What happens during liposuction surgery?
Liposuction can be used to target fat in specific areas, such as the buttocks, hips, thighs, knees, ankles and lower abdomen in women and the flanks, abdomen and breasts in men - all areas where we commonly accumulate hard to shift fat.
Liposuction involves the insertion of a small metal tube into the affected area and the unwanted fat is removed by vacuum suction. The liposuction procedure is quick and is carried out under general anaesthetic, with the patient usually spending one night in hospital following treatment. For smaller areas, liposuction can be carried out under local anaesthetic on a day care basis. The treatment is completed by the patient wearing a pressure garment following liposuction for around three weeks after surgery.
Liposuction is currently the only medically approved procedure which allows the selective removal of localised fat cells, meaning it is perfect for abdominal fat, neck and chin fat and for men who wish to combine it with Gynaecomastia surgery (male breast surgery) to achieve excellent results.
For individuals who are grossly overweight, liposuction is an unsuitable treatment as it is not designed to treat obesity. Instead, liposuction is recommended for patients wishing to improve their body contour by the removal of unsightly fat pads they cannot otherwise shed.
