Liposuction
 Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure for removing 
packets of fat from areas of the body that are resistant 
to exercise and diet control. It works well with good 
elastic skin as in normal or near normal body weight. 
Though age is not a criterion for good results, older 
people are left with dimples in the skin due to the 
inelastic skin.

Liposuction
 Liposuction is done with or without other cosmetic 
procedure e.g. Tummy –tuck, body lifts etc. Surgery 
involves a technique called Suction assisted Liposuction 
(SAL). Fat is sucked through a hollow tube that is 
introduced through small incisions. The incisions are 
closed at the end of the surgery. Surgery may take one 
to three hours depending on the areas of the body.
 Surgery is could be performed under local or general 
anaesthetic, depending on the patients preference, 
surgeons preference and the volume of the areas that 
require liposuction.
Side Effects
 All patients will have bruising and swelling with some 
discomfort to up to few weeks. Numbness around the 
area for weeks and months is normal. There would be 
scarring at the incision site but would fade over a 
period of time. There may be uneven areas as fat 
settles and may require further surgery. 
Side Effects
 There is a chance to return to theatre to control 
bleeding. General risks are Deep Vein thrombosis, 
pulmonary embolism and chest infection.
