Why Do People Choose Liposuction?

Liposuction is chosen by many patients as it provides a number of unique benefits: 

• Liposuction can be used to sculpt multiple areas of the body by permanently removing excess fat deposits.
• Liposuction can target stubborn pockets of fat cells that have been resistant to diet and exercise alone. 
• Liposuction surgery only requires small incisions, meaning that the resultant scarring from the procedure is minimal.
• Through removing excess fat, patients can feel more confident wearing form-fitting clothing and engaging in exercise.  

Who is a Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction for Women

Liposuction is a popular procedure among women as it can help to restore a sought after feminine form by removing fat cells across common areas of concern and creating a desirable, enhanced figure. Although lipo can be performed across the body, the parts of the body often targeted for female patients include:

• The hips and waist – helping to create a highly sought after hourglass figure by removing ‘love handles’
• Thighs – toning the lower body by removing ‘saddlebags’ 
• Abdomen – reducing the appearance of a ‘muffin top’ by targeting fat deposits around the tummy
• Back – reduces stubborn rolls of fat cells around the bra line, lower back and back of the neck (buffalo hump)
• Arms – can be completed alone or with brachioplasty to treat more extensive “bingo wings” 
• Chin – helps to tone the shape of the face for a slimmer, more feminine form  

Liposuction for Men

Liposuction surgery can enhance the masculine form by removing stubborn fat and enhancing the tone and definition of targeted areas. Common treatment areas for men include: – 

• Abdomen – HD Lipo can be used to carefully remove fat close to the abdominal muscles (abdominal etching), enhancing the definition of the muscle curvatures 
• Chest – to create a highly desirable masculine, ‘chiselled’ chest

What Types of Liposuction Does CREO Clinic Offer?

Dr. Tillo has the skills and experience to utilise a range of liposuction surgery technologies depending on a patients unique aesthetic needs, including:

Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

Power-assisted liposuction, or PAL, uses motorised cannulas that move in different directions, vibrating to help to release the fat, after which the suction completes the fat removal. 

This method of liposuction — not to be confused with laser assisted liposuction — is preferred due to its effectiveness at removing fat while being less labour-intensive for the surgeon. PAL can be a great option for patients who have larger quantities of fat to remove or for those who have undergone liposuction previously. In addition, PAL is best in cases of fat transfer as the damage done to the harvested fat cells is minimal. 

Radiofrequency Assisted Liposuction (BodyTite)

BodyTite is a minimally invasive type of liposuction that harnesses radiofrequency to break up fat and tighten the skin simultaneously. Due to its advanced technological ability to target both stubborn fat and lax skin, it is a highly effective body contouring procedure without significant downtime. 

Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (Vaser)

Vaser liposuction performs fat removal closer to the muscle than other liposuction methods by utilising sound energy to break fat apart. This means that the targeted areas can be treated with greater precision and finer contouring. Vaser is an ideal option for smaller areas of the body, such as the back of the arms. Vaser also requires less downtime thanks to its less invasive nature, and can be performed under local anaesthetic in some cases.  

What Areas Can Liposuction Treat?

Our cosmetic surgeon performs liposuction fat removal on targeted areas of the body, such as:

• Upper and lower abdomen 
• Flanks
• Upper and lower back
• Upper Arms
• Thighs (inner, outer, anterior, or posterior)
• Breasts
• Calves and ankles
• Buffalo hump (excess fat behind the shoulders and neck)
• Knees

Risks of Liposuction

Liposuction is generally considered to be a safe procedure, and complications are rare. Choosing a suitably experienced and skilled surgeon, like Dr. Tillo, can further help to minimise risk.  

However, like any surgical procedure, liposuction fat removal does carry a degree of risk that you should be aware of, such as:

• Anaesthetic reactions
• Infection at incision sites
• Wound infections or poor wound healing
• Asymmetry of the treatment area
• Skin surface irregularities
• Cellulite
• Skin laxity and sagging

What Results Can You Expect?

Liposuction immediately removes excess fat in the area, but the results only become visible when the side effects of the surgery dissipate. Therefore, it may take between 6-12 weeks for the final results of your surgery to become visible. By this time, you will notice that the treated area is slimmer and more contoured.

Furthermore, you may notice some skin laxity in the area that usually contracts over time. However, some patients (due to factors such as age and amount of fat removal) may have permanent excess skin in the area. In such cases, your surgeon may recommend a BodyTite treatment for tightening the skin to produce an optimal outcome.

Combined Procedures

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgery that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen while tightening the muscles in the area. The procedure produces a flatter and toned stomach while strengthening the patient’s abdominal core. Dr Tillo has perfected this surgical combination by performing it for many years on an almost regular weekly basis.

Combining a liposuction with a tummy tuck delivers a more prominent result, as it enables larger amounts of excess fat to be removed from the upper or lower abdomen or surrounding areas, thus enhancing the contours of the body. Furthermore, undergoing both procedures simultaneously is more cost-effective and convenient for the patient as they can combine the downtime for both surgeries.
