Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Liposuction
A body contouring procedure that removes localised fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise.
When this is typically needed
- Localised fat resistant to diet/exercise
- Good overall health and stable weight
- Realistic expectations about contouring, not weight loss
What it involves
Fat is removed through small incisions using a suction technique, targeting specific areas.
What to expect
Swelling and bruising for a couple of weeks; compression garments are typically worn during initial recovery.
