What Is It?

Targeted Fat Removal — Permanent Results

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from targeted areas of the body that resist diet and exercise. Using small cannulas inserted through tiny entry points, Dr. Thusay precisely sculpts the contour — removing fat from the abdomen, love handles, thighs, arms, back, chin and bra rolls. The result is a more defined, proportionate silhouette with minimal downtime.

Abdominal Liposuction — Removal of stubborn abdominal fat — upper and lower abdomen, and flanks (love handles).
Thigh & Hip Contouring — Inner thigh, outer thigh (saddlebags) and hip fat removal for balanced lower body proportion.
Arm Liposuction — Reducing upper arm fat (bat wings) for slimmer, more toned-looking arms without exercise resistance.
Chin & Neck Liposuction — Submental fat removal for a defined jawline and cervicomental angle — minimal incision, quick recovery.
Back & Bra Roll Reduction — Targeting back fat rolls and bra bulge for a smoother upper body contour in fitted clothing.
Fat Transfer (Lipofilling) — Harvested fat purified and re-injected into breasts, buttocks or face for natural volume enhancement.

Ideal Candidates

Stubborn localised fat that does not respond to diet and exercise
BMI ideally below 30, stable weight for 6+ months
Good skin elasticity (skin will retract after fat removal)
Specific areas of concern rather than generalised obesity
Realistic expectations — liposuction is contouring, not weight loss
Non-smoker or willing to stop 4 weeks before surgery
The Process

Step-by-Step Journey

01
Consultation & Zone Mapping

Dr. Thusay marks the treatment zones, assesses skin laxity and discusses realistic outcomes for each area. Volume estimates discussed.

02
Tumescent Infiltration

Dilute anaesthetic + adrenaline solution is injected into the fat — this reduces bleeding, pain and makes fat removal smoother.

03
Fat Removal

Small cannulas passed through 2–3 mm entry ports. Fat removed with precise back-and-forth movements, sculpting the desired contour.

04
Compression Garment

Worn immediately and continuously for 4–6 weeks to reduce swelling and support skin retraction.

05
Final Contour

Significant results visible at 6 weeks. Full final contour at 3–6 months as residual swelling resolves.

Questions & Answers

Liposuction — Body Contouring Surgery — FAQs

No — liposuction is a body contouring procedure. It removes localised fat deposits but the amount removed (typically 2–4 litres maximum at one session) does not result in significant weight loss. It reshapes proportion and silhouette, not overall body weight.

Fat cells that are removed do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells in treated and untreated areas can still enlarge with significant weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight after surgery preserves results permanently.

Multiple areas can be treated in a single session — subject to safe volume limits (typically 4–5 litres of fat). Dr. Thusay assesses the combination of areas for safety and discusses staged treatment where needed.

In patients with good skin elasticity, the skin retracts well over 3–6 months. In older patients or after large volume removal, some skin laxity may remain. A tummy tuck may be needed in conjunction with abdominal liposuction if skin excess is significant.

VASER uses ultrasound energy delivered through the cannula to selectively emulsify fat before removal — allowing more precise sculpting, less trauma to surrounding tissues and better skin retraction. It is particularly useful for high-definition contouring and fibrous areas.

Light walking from day 1. No strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks. Core exercise is introduced gradually based on Dr. Thusay's clearance.

Entry ports are 2–3 mm in size, placed in natural skin folds or inconspicuous locations. They heal to near-invisible dots within 3–6 months.

Yes, and very commonly so. Liposuction of the flanks combined with a tummy tuck provides the most comprehensive abdominal contouring — a flatter abdomen with tightened skin and muscles.
