Liposuction Sydney

Liposuction is invasive surgery that aims to improve the body’s contours and proportion by removing localised and disproportional deposits of fat. Lipectomy procedures can remove up to five litres of fat with relative safety during one session. Depending on the number of areas that require treatment, repeated treatments may be necessary.

Specific techniques of liposuction include:

• Suction Assisted Lipectomy (SAL) where fat is removed from the body using a vacuum suction. SAL may be dry, wet or tumescent depending on the volume of saline (salt solution) which is injected into the operation site before the procedure begins
  Ultrasonic Assisted Lipoplasty (UAL) uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy the fat cells before SAL is used to remove the liquefied fat and to smooth the edges of the treated areas
• Mechanical Assisted Lipoplasty (MAL) uses an oscillating shaver driven by a motor to shave the fat which is vacuumed away as used in the SAL and UAL methods
• Laser assisted liposuction (LAL) uses laser energy to emulsify fat to assist in suctioning the fat subsequently
• Patients looking for a multi-stage treatment plan potentially involving breast reduction mammoplasty and tummy tuck abdominoplasty surgery as required are advised to start a discussion with our staff

Liposuction is a very popular procedure and has been one of the most common cosmetic surgeries in Australia for quite some time. One of the reasons why so many people opt for liposuction is the benefits beyond just a decrease in their weight.

We make it clear to our patients that liposuction is not a procedure for losing weight, rather an avenue for those who struggle to achieve their desired weight goals via diet and exercise, especially those who are working towards significant weight loss.

If you are someone who has undergone massive weight loss, body contouring such as liposuction or the tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) procedure will be of great benefit to you.

With liposuction, Dr. Yunaev can target specific areas of the body, the stubborn fat that seems to be untouched by your diet and hard work at the gym. This can lead to a more proportional shape to your body after liposuction. This procedure will contour your body, blending in with your natural shape, and by continuing with your diet and exercise routine to maintain a stable weight, your results will be long term.

It is also important to point out the emotional benefits of liposuction as the procedure can align your body image to the way you feel, giving a newfound sense of confidence and self-appreciation.

The improvements in self-esteem that follow when patients feel more comfortable with their body or the satisfaction of completing a weight loss journey are significant. It can be hard to measure emotional benefits, but we see patients who feel much better in their own bodies as a result of liposuction.

The benefits for each patient will vary as everyone is unique and have their own goals for their liposuction results. The best way to understand the benefits applicable to you is by booking a consultation with Dr. Yunaev.

This session will be used to understand your body contouring goals and how best to achieve tighter skin.

Dr. Michael Yunaev may recommend this procedure for you if:

• You are physically healthy and at a stable weight
• You have realistic expectations
• You are a non-smoker or have stopped smoking
• You have bulges that persist despite a healthy diet and exercise
• Liposuction is most likely to be successful for healthy weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. Although age is not a significant concern, older people may have less skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger person with tighter skin

Before opting for liposuction, you must keep in mind that:

• Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss
• If your skin is dimpled before the liposuction, it will probably still be dimpled afterward the procedure has been done
• If the ‘extra’ skin doesn’t contract (tighten) after liposuction, you may need a further procedure to remove excess skin
• You may not be able to undergo the procedure if you are unable to have an anaesthetic, if you are prone to bleeding tendencies or have a poor healing ability or are too high risk of having surgical complications
