What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a procedure in which excess fat is removed from the body, most commonly by suction through a cannula inserted through a discreet incision in the skin. It is a permanent form of fat removal, as fat cells cannot regenerate.
A critical aspect of achieving one’s desired body contour is liposuction. ThePLUS liposuction procedure focuses on refining the body’s contours by carefully extracting fat from specific areas, rather than removing large volumes of fat. This approach helps maintain a balanced and well-defined body shape.
We call this liposculpture, not liposuction. There is a preconceived notion that liposuction is simply a surgery to lose weight or only remove a large amount of fat, but you can think of it as a sculpting surgery that completes the body line by suctioning fat from areas that cannot be controlled with exercise and diet.
Who Would Benefit From
Liposuction?
Ideal liposuction candidates are within a normal weight range for their height and age who are looking for targeted fat removal in specific areas. It is best for individuals in their 20s-40s, with good skin elasticity and good overall health. Patients with diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) or cardiovascular disease, or who smoke face increased complication risks.

How is Liposuction Done?
Here at ThePLUS, our approach is centered around achieving a natural and soft body contour by extracting as much fat as possible without disrupting daily life, while also carefully considering each individual’s unique body shape. This allows us to sculpt a result that harmonizes with the individual’s physique.
Using the traditional cannula method, we are able to remove large amounts of fat from the desired area of the body, allowing us to create a strong body contouring effect and thus high satisfaction rates with our patients.
Where Can I Get Liposuction?
Liposuction can be applied to various parts of the body for targeted fat removal in order to create a smooth and precise body contour.
Abdomen – The area where body fat most commonly accumulates. Large-volume removal is possible, producing noticeable body contour changes. Small incisions are made in hidden areas (e.g., bikini line) for suction.
Arms – Fat can be removed from the upper arm down to the elbow, smoothing the arm line. In cases of poor skin elasticity, sagging may occur.
Thighs – Both inner and outer thighs, as well as the front and back of the thighs can be treated. The outer thighs in particular show effective results.
Double Chin (Face) – Performed with micro-cannulas, this procedure is possible without visible scarring. Improves facial contour and jawline; suitable for small-area precision correction.
What Can I Expect After Liposuction?
Will the fat come back after liposuction?
Fat cells cannot regenerate after being removed, so liposuction is a permanent fat removal solution. However, the remaining fat cells can enlarge, so it is important to manage fat levels with an appropriate healthy diet and exercise routine.
How can I help my recovery after a liposuction procedure?
For a successful and healthy recovery, it is important to adhere to the instructions provided to you by the clinic on correctly wearing correct compression, conducting lymphatic massages for lymphatic drainage, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Following the instructions correctly can also help to enhance your liposuction results.
What are common side effects to expect after liposuction?
It is common to experience bruising and swelling lasting up to 2 weeks after surgery. Occasionally, patients may experience temporary numbness or a tingling sensation that recovers over time. Infection can occur if the incision site is poorly managed, so it’s important to follow clinic aftercare instructions.
How long will it take to see my liposuction results?
Immediately after your liposuction procedure you’ll see significant swelling and bruising. After the first two weeks the initial swelling will subside, but it’s we recommend you still wear your compression garments for maximized results. The final result of liposuction can be seen after 3-6 months, depending on the person and the fat removal site, when the swelling has fully subsided, scars have begun to fade, and the body contour has stabilized.
