Liposuction Melbourne

It is not uncommon to have fat deposits that will not respond to diet or exercise, and it is often a hereditary problem.

Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some patients may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localised fat deposits. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can successfully remove excess fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise, thereby improving your body contours and proportion.

Dr Sally Ng offers liposuction both as a singular surgical procedure and also in combination with other body contouring procedures.

About Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that aims to slim and reshape specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits that fail to respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction can be used to reduce localised fat deposits of the thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen and waist, upper arms, back and inner knees. Ideal candidates are adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone, non-smokers, healthy individuals with minimal medical conditions, and those with a realistic outlook.

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite (dimpled skin on thighs, hips, buttocks) or loose saggy skin.

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. A small incision is made in the treatment area and a hollow tube (cannula) is inserted through the incision to loosen excess fat in a controlled motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out. Tunnels are formed during this process. Compression garment is then worn to collapse them.

Liposuction may be combined with other procedures such as abdominoplasty, thigh or arm lift to contour the region of interest.
