Slimming down has become easier with the presence of Liposuction. Liposuction targets places on your body that refuse to lose fat, hence sculpting your body, creating a more proportional and desirable body shape. The treatment uses a small tube, or cannula, to suck out the stubborn fats from the body, which means results are immediate. With Liposuction, unsightly bulges of fat can be removed. Although fat is removed in Liposuction, this procedure is not a weight loss solution. Instead, Liposuction aims to enhance the shape of your body.

Liposuction begins by consultation and examination of patient's body condition, which includes discussing patient's needs and goals. A treatment plan will then be determined by the doctor at our affiliated clinic. General anesthesia will be administered followed by incisions on the target areas to eliminate unnecessary stubborn fats. The incisions will be sutured and specific garment will be worn as instructed.

1. A large volume of a solution will be injected into the target area. This solution contains Lidocaine (anesthetic effect) and epinephrine (decreases bleeding).
2. A special cannula (diameter = 2, 3, 4 or 5 mm) will be inserted through a tiny skin incision. Then, fat will be suctioned out.
3. The incision will be closed with stitches.
