Liposuction Perth
Remove stubborn fat with liposuction
Liposuction (suction-assisted lipectomy – SAL) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body. This liposuction procedure can help address localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, refining body contours and proportions.
The procedure can target areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, and occasionally, the calves and ankles. It can also be used to reduce or eliminate a double chin. For individuals in Perth, liposuction in Perth WA is available to help achieve desired results.
Suitable candidates for the procedure
Before considering liposuction, it is essential to understand that it is not a weight loss procedure. Ideal candidates include:
- Individuals within a healthy weight range but with isolated excess fat deposits.
- Patients who have localised areas of fat that do not respond to exercise or dietary changes.
- Individuals with good skin elasticity, as liposuction does not address cellulite or loose skin.
If significant weight loss is required, patients may be advised to follow a healthy weight loss plan before undergoing the liposuction procedure. Additionally, those seeking to address excess skin should discuss this during the initial consultation to explore alternative or complementary procedures.
Liposuction can be performed on several areas of the body simultaneously or in combination with other cosmetic surgeries, such as abdominoplasty or breast procedures. However, suitability for combination procedures depends on individual circumstances and will be assessed during your consultation with Dr. Hanikeri.
