Suction assisted lipectomy is an aesthetic body contouring procedure designed to remove localised fat deposits, such as that which occurs on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen as well as the arms, neck and under the chin. With the liposuction method, localised fat deposits are removed through tubes and cannulas which are passed through small incisions. A vacuum apparatus applies a negative pressure and the fat is literally sucked out from the area of involvement.

Suction lipectomy is ideal for patients who have bulges which persist after diet and exercise. It is not a substitute for weight loss. Your surgeon at the Aesthetic Day Surgery will discuss the results that you can personally expect from liposuction at your initial consultation.
