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.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can remove excess fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.

About Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. 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 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.
