Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of excess stubborn superficial fat, aimed at improving body form. Liposuction is not a magical weight-loss treatment; instead, it is a surgical procedure that reshapes selected areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits. Liposuction is commonly used to target areas of stubborn fat that do not respond to a stringent diet and exercise regime.
During the Liposuction procedure a liposuction cannula (small tube-like instrument) is inserted into the region of interest via a small incision (approx. 5mm in length). The cannula is attached to a suction device that is operated by the surgeon to break up the fat cells. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body. Before completing the liposuction, the remaining fat is then treated in a manner to help smoothen out the treated area. The number of small skin incisions required to complete the liposuction will depend on how many areas of fat reduction is being performed.

Speak with Dr Eddy Dona about your suitability, the surgical options, recovery and costs. Our friendly team will call you back to discuss the procedure and schedule your appointment.
Your initial consultation with Dr Eddy Dona is the first step. Dr Dona will evaluate numerous factors that are required for the optimal surgical treatment plan that will meet your specific requirements. At the end of your consultation with Dr Dona, the staff will then provide you with a total price for your surgical procedure.
The ideal candidate for Liposuction is someone who has been unsuccessful in losing their stubborn areas of fat through a diet and exercise regime, and who is currently maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. In addition, skin quality and other factors will also determine if liposuction is the best approach in achieving your aesthetic goals.
The results from Liposuction surgery are lasting, however, you will need to be consistent in leading a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a well-balanced diet to maintain your results.
Liposuction is performed in a Private Hospital setting under general anaesthesia.
Liposuction can be performed on any part of the body that has excess fatty tissue. However, some parts of the body are better suited for it. These include:
One of the determining factors of an ideal area to perform liposuction is the quality of the overlying skin. The skin needs to be thick, with good tone and no stretch marks to minimise the chance of developing overlying skin dimpling and irregularity after liposuction.
Dr Dona performs Liposuction as a primary and secondary procedure. Primary procedure means that it is the main procedure being performed. When performed as a secondary procedure, liposuction is performed in conjunction with other procedures such as an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck).
Liposuction is also commonly used to remove fat and transfer it to another rea of the body, such as the buttocks, which is known as a Bilateral Buttock Lipo-Augmentation (BBL). Liposuction can also be used to remove fat and transfer it to the breasts, to provide mildly enhanced breasts.
Liposuction may be incorporated into the traditional Tummy Tuck procedure, to help with shaping. This is something Dr Dona would often perform at the end of the tummy tuck to provide further definition if required and if considered suitable to do so.
Both Liposuction and Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) surgery are performed to achieve specific outcomes regarding your body’s appearance.
The primary purpose of liposuction is to remove excess fatty tissue – it does not remove excess skin. Furthermore, removing the excess fat can result in some looseness in the skin.
The primary purpose of a Tummy Tuck is to remove excess skin, with the associated fatty tissue.
Therefore, liposuction is not a substitute for a tummy tuck procedure.
