Liposuction / Fat Removal
A sensible diet and vigorous exercise doesn’t always shift stubborn areas of fat. Liposuction can help bring back confidence and a beautiful body shape. By removing fat and reducing the number of fat cells it sculpts the body into contours you thought were gone forever.
The Procedure
Liposuction is performed under local or general anaesthetic. The most popular areas are the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks and knees. Through tiny incisions in the skin a hollow metal tube, or cannula, breaks up the fat beneath the skin. It is then removed by a syringe or vacuum pump. Ultrasound waves or an injection of fluid can also break up the fat.
Is it right for me?
Any surgery is a big decision and MYA will provide all of the details you will need to make an informed choice. Liposuction gives amazing results and your body can have a wonderful new shape. However, it should not be considered as an alternative to diet and exercise.
How long does it take?
Approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the technique and the extent of the surgery.
What happens after surgery?
You will probably need a few days off work to recover and no exercise for a couple of weeks.
