LIPOSUCTION & LIPOSCULPTURE (scroll down for before & after images)

Fat (adipose) tissue plays a major role in defining our shape/figure and thus appearance. Liposuction is best considered as internal filing or reshaping of fat, especially those pockets and areas we just cannot sort out by diet and exercise alone.

The challenge has been to do it safely, with as little downtime and pain as possible. Tumescent local anaesthesia (with vasoconstriction) of target fat allowing for extremely safe virtually bloodless liposuction under light sedation has become the gold standard worldwide.  It cannot be rushed though, and requires calm quiet sterile facilities with no cost pressure on time.

We at Taryn Laine Clinic provide such a setting, performing liposuction with thin bore cannulas that are more time consuming but provide smoother results.

Postoperative pain is minimal for the first 12 to 18 hours whilst the local anaesthesia remains in the targeted fat.  Thereafter orally taken medication keeps the pain well under control.  Whilst wearing comforting supportive compression garments, physical activity is encouraged and depending on the area treated some have returned to work the next day;  more extensive liposuction and more sensitive areas may require a few days off work.

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but a reshaping tool.  Weight gain after liposuction will not completely negate this reshaping effect though as fat increase tends to be widely and uniformly spread rather than to preferentially reaccumulate at treated sites.

Both men and women can benefit

Areas amenable to liposuction that we treat at TLC include:-

• The abdomen, upper and lower with option of including a mini tummy tuck
