Liposuction

Liposuction in Body Contouring and Surgery

Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks (“love handles”), thighs, arms, back, and neck. Liposuction can also be performed in breast surgery to improve shape and symmetry, in gynaecomastia surgery to reduce excess male breast tissue, or as part of body contouring procedures like abdominoplasty and brachioplasty to enhance the overall outcome.

In medically indicated cases, such as lymphoedema (chronic swelling due to lymphatic dysfunction) or lipoedema (a condition causing disproportionate fat accumulation in the lower body), liposuction may help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. However, Medicare rebates are limited and apply only in select circumstances.

Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a method to reshape and refine body proportions. Dr. Zaman tailors each liposuction treatment to the patient’s anatomy and goals, ensuring safe and natural-looking results.

Recovery depends on the treatment area and individual healing, with most patients resuming light activities within a few days. If you are considering liposuction as part of a reconstructive or aesthetic procedure, contact our clinic to discuss your options in a personalised consultation.
