While sticking to a healthy diet and a regular exercise regime are the best ways to lose weight, many people just can’t seem to get rid stubborn fat from problem areas. This is particularly true for thighs, buttocks, hips, stomach, arms, neck and knees.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets these problem areas and leaves your body more sculpted and toned.

Prior to surgery the surgeon will mark the areas of the body where the fat is to be removed. Liposuction begins with a small incision in the area to be treated. A thin cannula is inserted into the incision and the unwanted fat is removed with a high pressure vacuum, leaving the skin muscles nerves and blood vessels intact.

Liposuction is performed as a day surgery procedure under anaesthesia.

After surgery a tight compression garment is worn for six weeks.
