Liposuction is a safe, effective surgical technique to remove localized fat deposits that resist healthy lifestyle changes. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, we use advanced liposuction methods to sculpt the body, enhance natural contours, and create lasting, harmonious results with minimal downtime.
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes excess fat through small, discreet incisions using a fine cannula and suction technique. It is not a weight-loss surgery, but rather a solution for sculpting areas where stubborn fat persists despite exercise and dieting.
Areas that can be treated with Liposuction:
Abdomen and waist
Hips and flanks ("love handles")
Thighs (inner, outer, front, back)
Arms
Back (bra roll area)
Neck and jawline (as a mini liposuction)
Knees and inner calves
Male chest
You may be a good candidate if you:
Are at or near your ideal weight but have localized fat deposits
Have good skin elasticity and tone
Are physically healthy and a non-smoker
Have realistic expectations regarding body contouring, not drastic weight loss
Are looking for refined, natural-looking results
Types of Liposuction
Traditional Liposuction
Manual fat removal using tumescent fluid and suction. Best for larger areas and when precision sculpting is needed.
Power Assisted Liposuction
Uses a vibrating cannula for more efficient fat removal, especially useful in fibrous or previously treated areas.
Liposuction + Fat Transfer
Harvested fat can be re-injected into other areas such as the buttocks, face, or hands for natural volume restoration and enhancement.

No. Once fat cells are removed, they do not return. However, remaining fat cells can expand, so maintaining a stable weight is key.
Only tiny incisions are made, usually hidden in natural folds. Scars fade significantly over time and are often barely noticeable.
Liposuction is not a treatment for cellulite or sagging skin. For those concerns, we may recommend combining liposuction with Morpheus8 Body or skin boosters.
