Best Candidates

Hospital Consultation
During your consult with the surgeon at the Hospital the surgeon will review your medical history and examine you, then assess and advise what type of surgery and/or liposuction you are a good candidate for.
Procedure: Liposuction or Excision
Traditional: A special solution of weak anaesthetic is introduced into the fat pockets then small hollow tubes (Cannula) about 3 -4 mm in diameter are used to extract out the excess fat cells.
Liposuction: Depending on the method used, a Cannula is inserted into the area to extract the extra fat. Incisions are closed and dressed and a special garment is applied to apply pressure.
Excision: Excision techniques are recommended where glandular breast tissue or excess skin must be removed. Incision patterns vary depending on the specific conditions and surgical preference. Some incisions may be visible or concealed within natural contours.
Time: 1 - 2 hour
Anaesthesia: Local or General
Hospitalisation: Outpatient or 1 night (depending on the severity)
