Procedures

 

Body Contouring/Liposuction
What can the procedures achieve?

Liposuction:

Liposuction is very effective for removing localised areas of fat. The areas of the body most commonly treated are the thighs, abdomen, back and the male breast.

It was believed that fat cells are not regenerated in adults; however, this may not be the case. Although liposuction does remove many fat cells, the remaining cells can still swell with further fat deposition. Therefore, weight gain in the future can reverse the effects of your surgery. Liposuction is a good operation for localised areas of fat excess. It is not a good operation to achieve generalised weight loss and is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

Liposuction can, with certain limitations, be used at the same time as other procedures such as a tummy tuck or breast uplift to improve the overall shape of the body.

 

Skin-Tightening Surgery:

By removing loose or flabby skin, the shape of the body can be improved and tightened. The effects are long lasting if combined with a healthy lifestyle and careful weight control.
