Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localised fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is typically considered when certain fat pockets do not respond adequately to diet and exercise.
At Kaayantar, liposuction is approached as a planned medical procedure, using established techniques and modern equipment. Each treatment plan is personalised after a detailed consultation, keeping safety, proportion, and realistic expectations in focus.
Liposuction can be performed using different techniques. The choice of method depends on the treatment area, tissue characteristics, and the clinical assessment made during consultation.
Dry Liposuction
An older technique where fat is removed without fluid infiltration. It is now rarely used, with newer methods offering better control and safety.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Uses a mechanically assisted cannula to aid controlled fat removal, helping improve precision in selected cases.
Tumescent Liposuction
A widely used technique where a specialised fluid is introduced before fat removal, supporting smoother and more controlled suction.
Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Uses laser energy to help break down fat prior to removal. This method may be suitable for select areas based on individual assessment.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (VASER)
Employs ultrasound energy to emulsify fat, allowing targeted removal in certain body regions.
Liposuction is generally considered for individuals who are close to their healthy weight but have localised fat deposits that do not respond adequately to diet and exercise.
A consultation helps assess factors such as overall health, skin quality, fat distribution, and expectations, to determine whether liposuction is appropriate or if alternative options should be considered.
Liposuction may be considered when specific areas of fat persist despite lifestyle efforts. It is intended for body contouring rather than weight loss and is used to address proportion and shape in selected areas.
The decision to proceed is based on medical evaluation and a discussion of realistic outcomes.
When appropriately planned and performed, liposuction may help:
Outcomes vary between individuals, and results depend on several factors including technique, anatomy, and post-procedure care.
