Treatment overview
What this treatment can — and cannot — do.
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to improve contour in areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, thighs, arms, chest or under the chin. It is a body-contouring operation, not a treatment for obesity, and the result depends on fat distribution, skin elasticity and the number of areas being treated.
GoalReduce localized fat deposits and improve body or submental contour in selected areas.Reduce localized fat deposits and improve body or submental contour in selected areas.

Treatment pathway
A clear plan from assessment to follow-up.
Area-by-area contour assessment, skin-quality review, surgical planning, liposuction and compression/follow-up where appropriate.
01AssessmentAssess the fat distribution, skin elasticity, body proportions and weight stability.
02PlanningChoose the areas where fat reduction can realistically improve contour.
03TreatmentPerform liposuction according to the agreed area and contour plan.
04Follow-upUse follow-up to monitor swelling, compression and gradual return to activity.

Short termProtect healing tissueAvoid activities that could irritate, stretch or traumatize the treated area until the advised stage of recovery.
ProgressJudge the result at the right timeSwelling and healing can temporarily distort the early appearance, so final assessment should follow the treatment-specific healing timeline.
Long termMaintain realistic expectationsLiposuction is not a weight-loss treatment and does not reliably correct significant loose skin or cellulite.
