Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction in all its forms is a safe and effective procedure that yields amazing results for clients and helps them finally get rid of those pesky hard-to-target fat deposits. Although it might be intimidating to embark on a new surgical procedure, we would like to assure you that our expert medical staff is more than qualified to give you the results you are looking for. You can relax knowing you are being treated by some of the most experienced surgeons in the UAE.
Our liposuction procedures are performed in an outpatient setting under general anaesthesia. The procedure generally lasts for one to two hours and involves creating small incisions in treatment areas where a cannula (very thin tube) is inserted to remove unwanted fat. There are two different types of liposuction procedures which include:
Traditional Liposuction
With this liposuction technique, your surgeon will first administer a tumescent solution into the targeted area which works to minimise bleeding, expand the fatty tissue for easier removal, and numb the area for added comfort. Keep in mind, you will already be under general anaesthesia at this point and will not feel any pain. After the solution is administered, your surgeon will make a tiny incision big enough only to insert a cannula and the loosened fat cells are quickly vacuumed out to achieve your desired look. This technique is ideal for patients with extra fat deposits looking for an overall more sculpted appearance.
High-Definition Liposuction
HD liposuction is a more modern liposuction solution that can yield more desirable results. With this procedure, the fat is not only removed from the targeted area, but your underlying muscles will also become more prominent, giving you a more sculpted and athletic look. This is done by removing the layer of fat closest to the muscles, while also re-injecting fat in other areas to create the shape you are looking for. This procedure also often involves skin-tightening techniques to help keep skin in treated areas tight and youthful. A popular HD liposuction technique is VASER liposuction, which is used by many of our surgeons to achieve the best results for our clients. This technique is best for patients with good skin elasticity who are looking to create a very specific and defined shape or look, and who will be committed to an active and healthy lifestyle after the procedure to maintain results.
There are several factors to consider when choosing which type of liposuction is suitable for you, these include:
- The area(s) of the body that you wish to have sculpted.
- The amount of fat that you would like to have removed.
- Recovery time you can feasibly accommodate.
- Whether you want skin and tissue tightening in addition to liposuction.
- Whether you can go under general anaesthesia.
- Your general pain tolerance.
Most importantly, discuss your priorities with your plastic surgeon. He or She will be able to discuss which of the many options are the best ones for you.
