Liposuction in Auckland from $1,200

Yes, it is common practice. Patients seldom treat just one area; more often they combine several problem zones, for example abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help you choose the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on 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 just 3–7 mm across, which usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible, and 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, it doesn't hurt: the procedure is under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery can occur and is relieved with painkillers the doctor prescribes.

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.

We operate on patients aged 18+ with no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — the decision is made individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. It removes fat tissue without changing the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved contours make cellulite visibly less noticeable.

The majority of patients go back to work and their normal routine within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising disappear by weeks 4–5, and it takes 3–6 months for the final result to form as tissues fully adapt.

No strict diet is required, but nutrition matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't come back, but the remaining ones can grow if you gain weight. For a lasting result we recommend a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Yes. Give up smoking, alcohol and medications that affect clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations — are also required. You'll receive all instructions after the first consultation.

Changes start to show 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling has gone. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed, and in 3–6 months the final contours form.
