Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical treatment performed to eliminate the existing stubborn subcutaneous fat present in specific parts of the body by sucking them out with a thin tube known as a cannula. The procedure corrects body deformities that are caused by stubborn fats that have difficulties to be eliminated.

Upper Body Liposuction focuses on removing fats from areas above the waist and Lower Body Liposuction focuses on removing fats from areas below the waist. The aim is to make the body appear well-balanced and contoured.

Meanwhile, Whole Body Liposuction targets all parts of the body with excess fat. This procedure is the most recommended as it can result in the most balanced figure. The fat removal will be done at once in 1 day to increase quality, precision and patients' satisfaction. Furthermore, an all-at-once procedure can provide the body with enough time for recovery instead of having multiple visits for liposuction.

Liposuction is done by inserting a cannula (a hollow thin tube) under the skin. Then a high-pressure vacuum will break up the fats and suck them out. The cannula will be driven into the body until enough stubborn fats are sucked out. Meanwhile, your body fluid will be replenished through an intravenous line.
