Liposuction is not a weight-loss surgery but rather a body-contouring procedure that targets localized fat deposits to refine a patient’s silhouette.
What is Liposuction-Body Contouring Surgery?
Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and sculpt the body. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and engaging in regular exercise, certain areas of the body can be resistant to fat loss. Liposuction helps to enhance contours and improve definition, making it a popular body sculpting solution for both men and women.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss surgery but rather a body-contouring procedure that targets localized fat deposits to refine a patient’s silhouette.
How is Liposuction Performed?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and involves:
– Injecting a saline solution into the targeted area to numb the site and shrink blood vessels, reducing bruising.
– Using a small probe to break down fat cells for easier removal.
– Gently suctioning out fat deposits through small incisions, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Liposuction typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on the number of areas treated.

Day 1
Your patient coordinator will pick you up and transfer you to the hospital. You will have a consultation with your surgeon, followed by medical tests. Once cleared, the procedure is expected to take approximately 2 to 3 hours. You will stay overnight at the hospital for monitoring.
Day 2
After a post-operative check-up, you will be discharged and transferred to your hotel to continue resting and recovering.
Day 3
You are advised to rest, but once you feel better, you may explore the city at a relaxed pace. Avoid strenuous activities to ensure proper healing.
Day 4
You will have a final check-up with your surgeon. Since dissolvable sutures are used, there is no need for removal. You will be cleared to travel home.

Liposuction is suitable for individuals looking to remove stubborn fat deposits and achieve a more sculpted appearance. Candidates should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
During your consultation, the surgeon will assess your concerns, review your medical history, and determine the best approach for correction. You will receive information on the expected results, potential scarring, and recovery details. If necessary, markings may be made on the body to plan the procedure.
While our dedicated patient coordinators and nurses will support you throughout your journey, having a trusted friend or family member with you can provide additional reassurance and help you absorb important information.
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction carries some risks, including swelling, bruising, minor discomfort, or temporary numbness. Your surgeon will discuss these risks and how they are minimised during surgery and recovery.
Initial improvements are visible immediately, but the full results become apparent after a few months, once swelling subsides and the body has settled into its final shape.
The procedure typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on the number of areas treated.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Afterwards, mild discomfort or swelling is normal, but pain can be effectively managed with prescribed medication.
Most patients recover within 1 to 2 weeks, with noticeable improvements in swelling and bruising. However, complete healing takes several months as the body settles into its final shape.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to work within 5 to 7 days, depending on individual healing progress. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
Surgeons place incisions strategically in discreet areas, resulting in small, barely noticeable scars once healed.
Yes, the results of liposuction are long-lasting, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent future fat accumulation.
Yes! Many patients combine liposuction with abdominoplasty or body sculpting to achieve a more comprehensive contouring result.
Preparation may include avoiding certain medications, maintaining a healthy diet, and stopping smoking to optimise healing. Your surgeon will provide specific pre-operative instructions.
