Liposuction remains the most effective way to remove unwanted fat deposits

Liposuction has a very high patient satisfaction rate. With good reason. It’s a low-risk procedure that helps you achieve the aesthetic and realistic goals you are after.

Liposuction still rules in aesthetic surgery. Even though other body contouring procedures are available, liposuction is still in high demand. This procedure, designed to remove unwanted fat cells from the body, has stood the test of time. Main reason? High patient satisfaction.

According to research, over 80% of patients are happy with their liposuction results. At my practices in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, my patients and I work together for sculpted results, consistent results and long-term results.

If you decide to have a liposuction, I will help you achieve long-term success. I will encourage you to adopt new eating habits and I will suggest some positive lifestyle changes so your lipo results last longer.

The best liposuction results are noticed immediately after surgery. However, swelling and bruising will mask the improvement in contour over the first 8 to 12 weeks. There are always small contour irregularities that are corrected over time naturally.

Liposuction Brisbane vs CoolSculpting

7 reasons why liposuction is in high demand

1. Patient satisfaction

Definitely the main reason, as we described above. While less-invasive procedures such as CoolSculpting are available, the simple fact is that they are not capable of removing as many fat cells as liposuction. On top of that, CoolSculpting is not as evidence-based and therefore it is not recommended in my clinic.

2. Targeted body contouring

Liposuction can target and remove fat from nearly anywhere on the body. This includes the chin, upper arms, face, neck, abdomen, waist, hips, thighs (inner and outer) and knees. Wherever your problem areas are, liposuction can remove unwanted fat cells. We can do this in one session, even when you have multiple areas with stubborn fat.

3. Minimal scarring

Even though lipo is a surgical procedure, it only requires minor incisions that are easily hidden and barely visible once healed.

4. Long-lasting results

When you maintain a healthy lifestyle, your liposuction results are long-lasting.

5. Motivation for a healthier lifestyle

Seeing the results of your improved body contour, will help motivate you, as you adopt a healthier lifestyle to maintain your aesthetic goals.

6. Relatively short recovery time

Even though liposuction is a surgical procedure, most patients experience only mild to moderate pain following their surgery. We can easily manage this with simple over-the-counter pain relievers. Most liposuction patients go back to work after 48 hours.

7. Safe procedure

Liposuction is a safe procedure for anyone suffering from stubborn fat deposition with stable weight, or patients suffering from lipedema with significant deposits in the lower abdomen, hips and thighs. Liposuction is performed as a day surgery and when it is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon the procedure is very safe. During your consultation we will discuss the risks involved in this type of surgery.

Types of liposuction

Power and suction-assisted lipo

The two main types of liposuction are power-assisted and suction-assisted. I employ both techniques at my plastic surgery practice in Brisbane.

In power-assisted liposuction, we use a powered tube that moves back and forth through the fat in a rapid motion. In suction-assisted liposuction, we remove fat from the body using vacuum suction. Depending on your requirements and the volume that needs treatment, we may use both techniques.

Vaser is an abbreviation for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance and I don’t perform this particular type of ultrasonic liposuction.

Liposuction cost Brisbane

How much to remove stubborn fat?

Great question. The cost of liposuction in Brisbane starts at $2,500.

In that case, we treat one area. If you want more areas treated, the cost may increase.

In summary, the total cost will depend on the number of areas you want to treat. The best way to have an understanding of how much liposuction will cost is to make an appointment. During your consultation, we will talk about your desired results and I will be able to provide a clear cost summary to achieve your realistic goals.

Cosmetic surgery procedures Brisbane

Types of cosmetic surgery I can help with

As a cosmetic plastic surgeon I perform a range of cosmetic procedures:

It’s important to know that I see many women seeking breast reconstructing following mastectomy after a cancer diagnosis. I can honestly say that witnessing the emotional relief following restoration is one of the most satisfying aspects of my career. The experience in those complex procedures flows through to my other work in less complicated situations and always benefits you as a patient.
