Liposuction Before And After

Liposuction Before & After

At Me Clinic, we perform both Face Liposuction and Body Liposuction using a wide range of fat cell removal procedures.

See how lipo can remove stubborn fat that won’t go away

Liposuction is one of the safest cosmetic surgery procedures in the world designed for fat removal and getting rid of stubborn fat deposits from areas of the body that remain despite changes to diet and exercise. Targeted areas that can be treated by liposuction surgery include:

• Face, chin and neck lift
• Outer thighs
• Inner thighs
• Man boobs
• Love handles
• Upper arms
• Abdomen

Liposuction can also be used to target other areas of the body with excess fat

There are many types of liposuction Melbourne procedures offered at Me Clinic that effectively target excess fat to contour body shape. Depending on the amount of fat to be removed and body fat goals, lipo surgery is successful in targeting other areas of the body with excess fat to shape and enhance. Some of these treatment areas include:

• Mons pubis
• Calves, knees and ankles
• Female breast reduction or breast lift
• Male breast reduction (gynecomastia or ‘man boobs’)
• Buttocks

Our patients often ask… Tummy tuck v liposuction: What’s the difference?

While liposuction and tummy tuck surgery are both effective cosmetic procedures to improve the shape and contour of your abdominal treated area, the two procedures differ significantly in terms of treatment, recovery, individual results and pricing/cost, as detailed below. Liposuction can eliminate stubborn fat deposits from a number of treatment areas of the body using small incisions for accessibility, a cannula and suction. For a tummy tuck, the primary focus is not a reduction in fat but rather to remove loose or sagging excess skin that remains following significant weight loss or pregnancy and/or to restore weakened or separated abdominal muscles. While the recovery time of liposuction is typically shorter than a tummy tuck, recovery time for both depends on the patient as well as the type of surgery procedure.

Steps to prepare for liposuction and lipo aftercare post-surgery procedures

Before liposuction surgery it’s best to be at a stable weight and following a healthy diet even if stubborn fat deposits persist. It’s important to know that liposuction is not an alternative to a healthy lifestyle but is rather a way to remove stubborn unwanted fat from targeted areas of the body. In your initial consultation, your Me Clinic cosmetic surgeon will discuss all this, together with what liposuction surgery is ideally suited to your needs and body, the best ways to prepare and also discuss the aftercare procedures.

Post-surgery recovery time from liposuction surgery

Even though most of our liposuction treatments involve minimal downtime, the recovery period following liposuction can vary according to the patient, the lipo treatment method used and the volume of fat removed. For example, Light Touch Lipo is a day procedure that requires no overnight stay in hospital, using local anaesthesia, with a short recovery time. But for most patients, the recovery period is only a few days. In contrast, Liposuction used to extract up to 5 litres of fat in a single procedure requires longer recovery time. Disclaimer: Recovery time may vary based on procedure and body type.

How lipo treatments and liposculpture helps with body contouring

There are various lipo treatments and liposuction techniques we offer at Me Clinic. Our lipo body contouring techniques result in a makeover and a more desirable body shape by removing stubborn fat deposits—and with minimal downtime. Some of which include:

• Vaser liposuction is a body contouring procedure suited to a range of areas of the body with varying amounts of fat. This includes tummy, love handles, arms, legs and neck, as well as gynaecomastia (man boobs).
• Fat transfer (also known as Lipo-Augmentation, Autologous Fat Transplantation or Micro-Lipo injection) can add volume to targeted areas of the body. Using liposuction to remove fat from an area, your cosmetic surgeon can then inject your own fat (after being processed) into a treatment area to add volume.
• Liposculpture involves sculpting and shaping your body during the liposuction fat cell removal process for a more proportionate, contoured shape and smooth final result.

Skin tightening the excess skin after your liposuction procedure

Various liposuction techniques offered at our clinic include:

• Vaser liposuction which distributes body fat more evenly while also removing fat cells resulting in a permanent change in body shape and a degree of skin tightening and retraction.
• Light Touch Lipo is a non-invasive day surgery cosmetic procedure which promotes collagen regrowth to help the skin adhere to the underlying muscles while eliminating sagging skin.
• A mini tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction with minimal scarring and a fast recovery time. By removing excess skin below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck tightens the skin but the underlying muscle tissue is not tightened.

Liposuction can be combined with a facelift/body lift to reduce saggy skin.

Maintaining a stable weight after liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that can address specific areas of the body. It is not a weight-loss solution, but rather a tool that can complement a healthy diet and lifestyle. Because lipo targets specific treatment areas (e.g. a tummy tuck/abdominoplasty or breast reduction/breast augmentation), weight gain can occur after your lipo body contouring procedure in remaining fat cells in other areas of the body.
