What Is Liposuction?
- Liposuction is surgery that removes selected fat beneath the skin through small incisions using a suction cannula.
- Treatment is planned around the patient's anatomy and goals.
Liposuction vs Liposculpture
- Liposculpture describes an emphasis on shaping contours and transitions between treated areas.
- It is not a guarantee of muscle definition or a separate solution for every body type.
Liposuction vs Tummy Tuck
- Liposuction targets fat.
- A tummy tuck removes excess abdominal skin and may repair muscle separation.
- The procedures address different concerns and require separate assessment.
Risks and possible side effects
While our surgeons are highly skilled, every surgery carries potential risks, that can be minimized by following all medical recommendations. Trust your health to our professionals!
Who Is Suitable for Liposuction?
Weight Stability and Skin Elasticity
Assessment considers localised fat, a reasonably stable weight and skin that can adapt to the changed contour. Poor elasticity may limit the result. General health, realistic goals and avoiding smoking are also important. Medical conditions or poor skin quality may make surgery unsuitable.
Medical Assessment and Reasons to Delay Treatment
Discuss medical conditions, previous surgery, medications, nicotine use and future pregnancy or weight-change plans. The surgeon may recommend further assessment, risk reduction or delaying surgery. Do not stop prescribed medicines without instructions from the treating team.
Which Areas Can Liposuction Treat?
Abdomen, Waist, Flanks and Back
Abdominal treatment may cover selected upper and lower abdominal fat, with the waist, flanks or back assessed as part of the same contour. Examination distinguishes fat beneath the skin from other causes of abdominal fullness.
Arms, Thighs and Other Selected Areas
Other areas may include the arms, thighs, inner knees, neck and chin. Each area requires its own assessment of fat distribution, skin quality and adjacent anatomy; listing an area does not establish suitability.
If loose upper-arm skin is the main concern, compare brachioplasty and arm lift surgery in Dubai. Liposuction reduces fat but does not remove excess skin.
What Does 360 Liposuction Include?
360 liposuction describes circumferential planning around the torso, commonly involving the abdomen, flanks and back. It is not a standard package or promise to treat every area in one session. Confirm the proposed areas in the written plan.
Preparing for Liposuction
Review your medical history, allergies, medicines and supplements with the surgical team. You may need tests, smoking cessation and food or drink restrictions. Change medicines only on your clinician's instructions. Arrange transport and help at home after sedation or general anaesthesia.
Liposuction Recovery and Aftercare
Swelling, Compression Garments and Wound Care
Early recovery may involve bruising, swelling and discomfort. Follow the prescribed garment schedule, dressing care and medication instructions; drains, when used, need specific care. Swelling can temporarily obscure the contour.
Returning to Work, Exercise and Travel
Return to activity is gradual. Work duties, treatment extent and healing affect timing; lifting and exercise require clearance. Arrange help and transport, and discuss travel before booking surgery, including journeys from Sharjah or other emirates.
Follow-Up and When to Contact the Surgical Team
Keep the clinical team's urgent-contact details available. Contact them promptly for fever, severe or worsening pain, increasing swelling, redness, or concerning blood or fluid leakage. Seek emergency medical help for chest pain, shortness of breath or collapse; do not wait for a routine follow-up.
Liposuction Cost in Dubai
The cost depends on the surgical technique required, the complexity of the individual case, anaesthesia, facility standards, and whether procedures are combined. An accurate assessment requires an individual clinical evaluation.
Confirm treatment areas, surgeon and anaesthesia fees, facility charges, tests, garments, follow-up and exclusions. An abdominal-only plan differs from circumferential or combined surgery. Compare written quotations covering the same treatment scope.
