Liposuction
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction, or body contouring, is a surgical procedure to eliminate excess fat deposits in specific body areas to enhance overall contour and proportion. These fat deposits are often resistant to diet and exercise and can cause dissatisfaction with one’s body image.
According to the AASPS, liposuction has become a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure. In 2020, 211,067 individuals underwent this procedure, making it the second most sought-after cosmetic surgery. This trend highlights the growing popularity of liposuction as an effective solution for eliminating stubborn body fat.
The principle behind liposuction is relatively straightforward. The procedure involves removing fat cells from the body, reducing their number. The result is a more balanced distribution of body fat and improved body proportions.
Following are the different types of liposuction available to you:
- Laser-assisted Liposuction: A laser is used in Liposuction to remove fat cells by liquefying them with laser energy. The laser also helps to tighten the skin in the treated area, promoting a more sculpted look.
- Tumescent Liposuction: This method involves injecting an anesthetic solution and medication to constrict blood vessels into the treated area. Suctioning the fat cells out requires making a small incision.
- Liposuction using ultrasonic vibrations: This method makes removing fat cells easier by breaking them down. This method removes fat from fibrous areas like the upper back or male breast tissue.
- Power-assisted Liposuction: This procedure uses a special cannula that oscillates rapidly, breaking up fat cells for easier removal.
Liposuction offers numerous benefits, such as:
- Improved Appearance: Liposuction helps remove stubborn fat deposits, producing a more balanced and proportional body appearance.
- Increased self-confidence: An improved appearance often comes with increased self-confidence and body positivity.
- Reduced Risk of Health Problems: Liposuction minimizes the risk of excess body fat-related health problems by reducing body fat content.
- Better Fitting Clothes: Liposuction may help your clothes fit more comfortably and look better on you.

Breast Augmentation
What is Breast Augmentation?
An aesthetic procedure to enhance a woman’s breasts is known as breast augmentation or mammoplasty. This enhancement is typically accomplished using implants made from saline, silicone, or in some instances, through a fat transfer procedure where the patient’s body fat is used to augment the breasts. The ultimate goal of this surgery is to improve the symmetry of the breasts, increase their volume, or restore breast size and shape after pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing.
