consideringliposuction?

The reason for choosing Liposuction may be as simple as just wanting to look better in your clothes.

We see many patients who are frustrated with certain areas of their bodies. Even after dieting, exercise or healthy weight loss, fatty deposits remain in areas that will not go away or reduce in size.

A combination of genetics and hormones create areas where fat cells are developed in greater numbers than the surrounding areas of the body.

Liposuction is effective in treating these areas and reshaping your body permanently. As it involves the actual removal of fat cells, the fat can never return to the way it appears now.

We have treated thousands of patients of all ages who have changed their body shape and lives with this simple and safe technique.

Our 30 years of experience ensures you receive personalised service and the right advice.

We offer you choices as our Surgeons provide a tailored solution for your requirements.

Our Surgeons listen to you and your requirements to help you decide which procedure is right for you after a full review and medical assessment.

who can benefit?

The best candidates for Liposuction are people who are in good health and have firm elastic skin. Ideally they would have tried to eliminate fat bulges through diet or healthy weight loss and exercise.

Patients with distinct areas of localised fat that are disproportionate to the rest of their bodies can be treated with great success.

It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss or a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

We will guide you on what we feel can and cannot be achieved.

how does it work?

A suction tube is inserted through a tiny incision is placed in an inconspicuous location on the skin. Under vacuum, fat cells are extracted through this tube. The result is a resculpting of bulging areas into more attractive contours.

The way we perform Liposuction leads to a painless and easy removal of unwanted fatty bulges. It also reduces swelling and bruising after the procedure. The procedure is carried out without awareness and discomfort to the patient.

Is a gp referral required?

There is no need to obtain a referral from you own doctor to see one of our Surgeons. We are generally able to book an appointment for you to see one of our surgeons within 7-14 days.

what liposuction techniques

do you use?

We perform the Tumescent Liposuction method and we can combine different techniques such as Ultrasound Liposuction Laser Lipolysis, and Mega Liposuction to achieve the best results.

Our Cosmetic Surgeons will advise you which technique would be best suited for you.

is the fat removal permanent?

Yes! It seems that after puberty we generally do not create new fat cells. When you gain weight, your cells simply expand in your problem areas. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells to improve your body's contour.

how are the benefits measured?

Cosmetically speaking, successful liposuction is measured in centimetres rather than by weight lost. The improvement in your body's shape and contour is more significant than the weight loss.

will liposuction get rid of cellulite?

Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite, however many patients have noticed an improvement in the appearance of cellulite after fat cells are removed.

what are the costs? During your initial consultation your Surgeon will discuss the best options for you as every patient we see has different requirements; you will be provided with a quote so you know the costs and what is involved.

recovery

what to expect after your procedure?

Some patients experience discomfort similar to a strenuous gym work out. This is normal and will subside in a few days. The swelling and tenderness will disappear in one to two weeks. Compression garments are required to be worn for at least four weeks and up to six weeks for optimum benefit after your procedure.

To ensure the best results from your procedure we have our quality patient aftercare program. We conduct several post operative checks during your recovery period. Because of our high standard of patient care there is no limit to the number of post operative checks you can have.

how much time off do I need?

As a general guide patients can return to non-strenuous work within two days. However, you should wait at least ten days before attempting more intense activity.
