Mega Liposuction is where a large amount of fat (up to 15 litres) is removed from patients who are overweight or suffer from obesity. Mega Liposuction is an effective weight loss treatment for overweight patients. Not only is there an immediate reduction in weight, but this treatment can also help the patient kick-start a healthy lifestyle, an exercise program, a healthy diet, and can lead to a reduction in overall appetite. Read more here This type of cosmetic procedure does not require any major invasive surgical procedures such as a Tummy Tuck. It is a liposuction procedure with minimal scarring and rapid recovery time.

The liposuction procedure is performed under twilight sedation however a general anaesthesic is available on request. Our doctors can remove up to 5 litres of fat from various problem areas per session using Vaser Liposuction. Usually Mega Liposuction patients have around 10 – 15 litres removed. This means 2 to 3 sessions (treating multiple areas), spaced a few days apart. After a short recovery time spent at our clinic, you will be able to go home on the same day as your procedure. After the operation is it important to note that you may experience some discomfort as well as swelling and light bruising. These symptoms will subside in four to six weeks.

The actual number of fat cells in a person’s body remains stable after adolescence. Unless we become grossly obese, you do not grow more fat cells after adolescence. The fat cells grow bigger when you put weight on and smaller when you lose weight. When the fat cells are removed by liposuction, it is more difficult to gain fat in the treated areas. Liposuction results in a permanent change in your shape. When you put weight on after Liposuction it is in a more even distribution. These findings were published in the August issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The full report can be read here. For more information see Fat Facts After Liposuction

In most cases, patients who have Mega Liposuction see results at 6 weeks. We take after photos at your 6 weeks appointment. The final results can take up to 6 months. This will vary from patient to patient.

Studies have shown that Vaser technology has less complications compared to other UAL methods. There are inherent risks and complications as there are with any surgery. You should be aware of the potential risks of a lipo procedure and discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor before your surgery is performed.
