Liposuction - Why Go Abroad?

Liposuction (also know as Liposculpture or Lipoplasty) is a procedure to improve your body shape by removing unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. The procedure is used to help with areas that have not responded to diet and exercise such as thighs, tummy, upper arms, neck, buttocks, knees, calves and ankles.

The Liposuction procedure involves a tiny incision being made in the skin and a cannula (a hollow stainless steel tube) in inserted by the surgeon. The cannula is inserted into the deep fat layer and the surgeon pushes and pulls the cannula which breaks up the fat cells. The fat cells are removed with a vacuum pump or a syringe.

Once the fat cells are removed they do not return and are not replaced. So if you eat a healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight you should continue to keep your new body shape. Please note that Liposuction is not a weight loss or obesity treatment, but a reshaping procedure.

One alternative to Liposuction is a technique called Liposoft. The Liposoft procedure is a  gentler approach to the removal of unwanted fat. Liposoft is a revolutionary technique that removes unwanted fat and sculpts the body. This technique has many benefits over other procedures such as Liposuction and Liposculpture. Liposoft can help to remove specific areas of unwanted fat that diet and exercise alone have failed to remove no matter how hard you try. Other procedures in the past  such as Liposuction and Liposculpture have helped with these problem areas of fat. Now an improved technique to help with these areas is finally here, which has the benefits of the old techniques but with significant advantages and improvements.

With the new Liposoft method of fat removal, the fatty areas are infiltrated with a jet of water simultaniously as the fat is removed. The fat is removed far easier with this technique, and because of easier removal less bruising occurs after surgery. Less injury to nerves and vessels is also achieved along with a shorter operation time for the patient.

With Liposoft the body is not pumped with a large amount of water (unlike previous other treatments for fat removal). This enables the surgeon to more precisely remove specific areas of fat as the contours of the body are not lost due to the body holding large amounts of water. Liposoft is a day case procedure and most patients are able to leave the hospital in as little as just two hours after they have had their treatment.
