About Liposuction
“Reshape your body, restore your confidence.”
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes excess fat deposits from stubborn
areas of the body using thin tubes (cannulas) connected to a suction device.
It’s not a weight-loss surgery, but it helps sculpt and refine body shape when diet and exercise
aren’t enough.
Types of Liposuction Techniques
1. Traditional Liposuction
- Removes fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or chin
- Done under local or general anesthesia
- Best for moderate contouring
- Recovery: 1–2 weeks compression garments recommended
2. 360° Liposuction (“Lipo 360”)
- Comprehensive 360-degree sculpting around the entire torso
- Includes abdomen, flanks (love handles), lower back, and bra roll
- Creates a smooth, balanced, hourglass silhouette
Popular with patients wanting full waistline transformation
3. High-Definition (HD) Liposuction
- Advanced technique to enhance muscle definition (abs, arms, chest)
- Uses Vaser (ultrasound), laser, or power-assisted devices to remove deep
and superficial fat - Creates a sculpted, athletic look
Ideal for people with good skin tone and fitness goals
Great for “six-pack” look, V-lines, or toned arms/chest
4. Lipedema Liposuction (for medical condition)
- Lipedema is a chronic fat disorder, mostly affecting women’s legs and
arms, causing - Painful fat deposits
- Easy bruising
Swelling unresponsive to diet/exercise Liposuction (specifically water-assisted or tumescent technique) is used to: - Reduce pain, heaviness, and size of limbs
- Prevent progression to lymphedema
- Improve mobility, confidence, and quality of life
Often considered medically necessary, especially in advanced stages
Common Areas Treated with Liposuction
- Abdomen & flanks
- Thighs (inner & outer)
- Arms
- Chin & neck
- Back
- Chest (male gynecomastia)
Important Notes:
- Not a solution for obesity
- Results are long-lasting if you maintain a healthy lifestyle
- Skin retraction depends on skin elasticity — some cases may need tummy
tuck or lift
Recovery Timeline
- Swelling & bruising: 1–2 weeks
- Compression garments: 4–6 weeks
- Light activity: after 2–3 days
- Final results: visible in 3–6 months
Final Word:
Whether it’s for aesthetic enhancement (like Lipo 360 or HD) or medical relief (like lipedema), liposuction can dramatically improve comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon to see which approach is best for your body and goals.
