Liposuction Brisbane
Why is liposuction one of the most popular plastic surgeries?
Plastic Surgeon Brisbane, BSc, MBBS, FRACS (Plast)
Liposuction is one option for fat reduction, and its suitability depends on individual circumstances and goals.
Liposuction is a commonly performed procedure. Like any surgery, it carries risks and should be considered carefully. Individual results may vary.
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.
Studies suggest that many patients report satisfaction after liposuction; however, outcomes depend on various factors including individual health and lifestyle. 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.
Sustaining results after liposuction requires a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition and regular physical activity. A healthcare professional can provide guidance tailored to your needs.

Liposuction results evolve over time as swelling subsides, with final outcomes typically visible after several months.
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. CoolSculpting and liposuction are different procedures with distinct mechanisms and outcomes. A consultation is recommended to determine the most suitable option.

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. Liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body. Treatment plans, including the number of sessions, depend on individual patient needs and safety considerations.
3. Minimal scarring
4. Long-lasting results
5. Motivation for a healthier lifestyle
Many patients aim to maintain their results through a healthy lifestyle, but individual motivations and experiences vary.
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. Recovery times vary based on the individual, the extent of the procedure, and personal healing factors. A healthcare provider will provide personalised post-operative care instructions.
7. Safe procedure
Liposuction is a surgical procedure with risks and benefits. It may be considered for patients with persistent fat deposits or certain medical conditions, following a comprehensive medical assessment. 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.

How much to remove stubborn fat?
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.

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.
