COSMETIC SURGERY

Liposuction

Liposuction is a very common and popular cosmetic procedure for removal of localised areas of fat. It should not be considered as an easy weight-loss option or a treatment for obesity. It is, however, an effective way to improve both the contour and shape of the body. Liposuction surgery can be of many types such as, facial liposuction and stomach liposuction.

Frequently liposuction, which is also known as fat transfer plastic surgery, is used to remove fat from the hips, abdomen and thighs that is resistant to diet and exercise.

The Liposuction surgery procedure may often be performed under local anaesthetic as an outpatient although sometimes an overnight hospital stay is advised. Some bruising and swelling may occur and a close fitting surgical garment is worn for a few weeks postoperatively.
