Liposuction is typically done under twilight sedation or general anaesthesia. For smaller areas, local anaesthetic may be used. A special fluid, called tumescent anaesthesia, is injected through small incisions to reduce blood loss and numb the area. This fluid also helps shrink blood vessels, making fat removal easier and minimising risks. Modern liposuction techniques often use technologies like Vaser, which employs ultrasound energy to assist with fat removal.
Liposuction methods have advanced significantly. The goal is to address areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Technologies like Vaser Liposuction use ultrasound energy to separate fat cells for easier removal, with benefits such as reduced tissue trauma and improved skin tightening.
Liposuction is for reducing fat in targeted areas, not for weight loss. Candidates should be in good health, close to their ideal weight, and have realistic expectations. A maximum of 5 litres of fat can be removed in one session, in line with safety guidelines. If needed, additional sessions can be arranged after a week.
Skin contraction after liposuction depends on skin elasticity. Studies show Vaser Liposuction can improve skin tightening by 54% compared to traditional methods, but outcomes vary. Patients with poor skin elasticity may still experience some looseness, and in such cases, other surgical options like abdominoplasty may be required.
For men, liposuction is often performed on the chest, abdomen, and lower back. For women, common areas include the abdomen, back, arms, hips, and thighs.
The fat cells removed during liposuction will not return. However, remaining fat cells can still grow with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight is essential for lasting results.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure with potential risks, including:
The cost of liposuction varies based on factors such as the area treated, anaesthesia used, and procedure duration. A detailed quote will be provided during your consultation.

LIPOSUCTION QUESTIONS
You may be a candidate for our liposuction procedures if you fit the following criteria:
The best way to determine whether you are a candidate is to meet with our Sydney liposuction doctors at Cosmos Aesthetics.
Before undergoing any form of cosmetic surgery, you should take the time to carefully consider whether liposuction is right for you. Take a look at your health habits: are you prepared to change your diet and exercise habits after surgery to maintain your results? Other questions to consider include: are you prepared to wait for your results to appear? Are you prepared to quit smoking in the weeks before and after surgery? Before you decide to proceed with surgery, you should talk with one of our liposuction doctors, who can give you an honest opinion about whether the procedure is right for you.
During your consultation at Cosmos Aesthetics Sydney, your liposuction doctor will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery. If you smoke, it is critical that you stop at least two weeks before surgery, as smoking can increase surgical complications and slow healing. In addition, you may be asked to avoid certain medications and supplements to prevent excessive bleeding and bruising during and after your liposuction procedure. We highly recommend preparing for your recovery before surgery by purchasing comfortable clothing, filling prescriptions, cooking healthy meals and arranging for someone to pick you up from the hospital and assist you for the first few days at home.
Following your VASER liposuction procedure, you can expect some bruising, swelling and pain in the target area. This is normal and can be relieved with pain medication. The treated area will likely weep fluid for 24 to 48 hours after surgery, which can be dressed with sterilised cotton pads. To flush the anaesthesia from your body completely, you may need to drink extra fluids.
You should expect to spend at least a week at home to recover after liposuction surgery. After this time, you should be able to resume most normal activities, with the exception of strenuous exercise. To alleviate swelling and help your body heal, you will need to wear a compression garment for around six weeks.
Please keep in mind that you won’t be able to see your liposuction results immediately after the procedure. To ensure the best outcome, you should carefully follow all of your doctor’s aftercare instructions.
Typically, a liposuction procedure can take anywhere from one to four hours, depending on the amount of adipose tissue that needs to be removed.
This depends on a number of factors, including how much fat is removed during the initial liposuction session, your desired outcome and expectations. Although our experienced doctors always strive to achieve the best possible fat reduction the first time around, in some cases, additional sessions may be required.
No, liposuction does not treat obesity; however, our Mega Liposuction technique can help overweight patients lose considerable amounts of fat.
While there are no specific weight restrictions to undergo a liposuction or liposculpture procedure, you should reach a healthy, stable weight before considering surgery. Any major weight fluctuations after your procedure can stretch the skin and alter your liposuction results.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure and should only be used to address those stubborn pockets of fat that exercise and diet fail to correct. Considering this, if you are within the overweight or obese weight range, we’d recommend losing weight before surgery to maximise your possible results.
While you can expect to see some subtle improvements immediately after your liposuction procedure, it will take some time for the final results to appear. You will need to wait for post-operative swelling to subside and give the skin time to retract and tighten up in the treated area. Neither of these happens overnight, and the time it does take can vary from patient to patient. Some liposuction patients are able to see their results within three to six months after surgery, while others find that their results continue to improve for up to a year. To speed your recovery and see results sooner, be sure to follow all of your doctor’s post-operative instructions.
Liposuction results can be permanent, in the sense that once the fat cells are removed, they cannot return. However, the remaining fat cells can still grow in size, meaning that it is still possible to regain weight in the future, although likely in different areas of the body.
You should keep in mind that external factors can also impact your results. Liposuction does not pause the ageing process, and things like inflammation, weight fluctuations and gravity can all affect the way your results look over time.
Significant scarring is uncommon following a liposuction procedure, as the incisions required to insert the cannulas under the skin are very small. You can minimise scarring by keeping wounds clean, staying hydrated and keeping incision sites out of direct sunlight.
If you are not yet ready or willing to commit to surgery, there are a rising number of non-surgical fat removal treatments that provide an alternative to liposuction. Such treatments use energy, whether that be sound waves, light waves, radio waves or exposure to cold, to damage and shrink fat cells. While these techniques are more affordable and less invasive than liposuction surgery, they do not produce the same results.
