Introduction to Fat Removal Procedures

Fat removal procedures are designed to eliminate stubborn fat deposits and enhance body contours. Both surgical and non-surgical methods provide effective options tailored to individual needs and goals.

Surgical Fat Removal Procedures

Liposuction

Liposuction involves surgically removing fat from targeted areas, offering immediate and significant contour improvements.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

This surgical procedure removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens abdominal muscles, creating a smoother, flatter stomach.

Arm and Thigh Lifts

These procedures specifically target and remove excess fat and skin from the arms and thighs, providing improved body aesthetics.

Non-Surgical Fat Removal Procedures

Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting)

CoolSculpting freezes fat cells, which are naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in a gradual and natural-looking fat reduction.

Ultrasound Fat Reduction

Ultrasound technology targets and breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally expelled, improving body contours without invasive surgery.

Laser Lipolysis

Non-invasive laser treatments gently heat and dissolve fat cells, enhancing contours and providing simultaneous skin tightening.

Radiofrequency Treatments

This method uses radiofrequency energy to destroy fat cells and stimulate collagen production, resulting in tighter, smoother skin.

Benefits of Fat Removal Procedures

• Improved body contours and aesthetics
• Increased confidence and self-esteem
• Long-lasting results
• Surgical methods provide immediate improvements, while non-surgical options offer minimal downtime

Ideal Candidates for Fat Removal

Ideal candidates are individuals at or near their ideal weight, in good overall health, with realistic expectations and specific body contouring goals.

Cost Considerations

Costs vary significantly based on the procedure chosen, ranging from AUD $600 for non-invasive methods to AUD $15,000 for surgical procedures.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Surgical procedures generally require two to four weeks of recovery, including wearing compression garments.
• Non-invasive methods typically have minimal recovery, allowing immediate return to regular activities.

Maintaining Results

Long-term results require maintaining a stable weight through healthy lifestyle choices, including regular exercise and balanced nutrition.

Selecting the Right Procedure and Surgeon

Choose an experienced, board-certified surgeon by evaluating qualifications, patient testimonials, and before-and-after results. Your surgeon can help determine the best method based on your goals and medical history.
