Liposuction of Problem Areas in Adelaide

Yes, standard practice. Few patients treat just a single area; most combine several problem zones — abdomen and flanks, for example, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, taking into account your health and desired result.

No, liposuction is not a way to lose weight. It removes local fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise and reshapes body contours. With an unstable weight, you should first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

The surgery is done through punctures only 3–7 mm across — they usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible. With proper care during recovery they fade completely.

The surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery. Skin in good condition tightens on its own and follows the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No — the procedure is performed under anesthesia, either local or general depending on the scope. Afterwards mild discomfort is possible and is relieved by doctor-prescribed painkillers.

During the first 7 days, skip physical exertion and heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Keep away from alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon gives every individual recommendation after surgery.

Patients 18+ with no contraindications are eligible. There's no upper age limit, and the decision is made individually after examination and a health assessment.

Not directly: liposuction removes fat but doesn't alter the skin structure causing cellulite. The improved body contours do, however, visibly reduce its appearance.

Most people resume their routine and work in 7–10 days. Bruising and swelling go by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, when the tissues have adapted fully.

There's no need for a strict diet, but nutrition is key to keeping the result. Removed fat cells stay gone; the remaining cells, however, can grow if you gain weight. For a long-lasting result, keep a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided after your first consultation.

First changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months. The final contours form in 3–6 months.
