LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction at Al Manara Specialized Medical Center – Dubai

Liposuction is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to eliminate stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body, especially after significant weight loss. This treatment helps restore a slimmer, more contoured physique and can significantly enhance both appearance and overall well-being. In advanced cases, excess fat accumulation may even contribute to health complications, making liposuction a valuable solution for both cosmetic and medical reasons.

This procedure can target multiple areas, including the:

• Abdomen

• Hips and flanks

• Thighs and buttocks

• Lower back

• Chest (in both men and women)

Liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes around 3 to 4 hours, depending on the number of areas treated and the patient’s condition. A hospital stay of one to two nights may be required for post-operative care and monitoring.

The results of liposuction are noticeable soon after the swelling subsides, offering patients a more defined and harmonious body shape.

How Is Liposuction Performed at Al Manara Specialized Medical Center – Dubai?

For many individuals, achieving a toned and sculpted body through exercise and diet alone can be challenging—especially when it comes to stubborn fat deposits. In such cases, liposuction offers a highly effective and targeted solution.

Unlike traditional weight-loss methods, liposuction is not intended for overall weight reduction, but rather for eliminating localized fat and improving body contour. It is especially beneficial for patients who experience skin laxity and residual fat after weight loss, childbirth, or aging.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

Liposuction is suitable for:

• Adults over the age of 20

• Individuals in good overall health

• Those struggling with stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back, arms, or chin

• Patients who have lost weight and wish to sculpt and tighten specific areas

Who Should Avoid Liposuction?

Liposuction may not be suitable for:

• Individuals under 20 years old

• Patients with chronic or contagious diseases

• People with significant obesity (in such cases, weight reduction should precede liposuction for optimal results)

Procedure Overview

Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia, and patients are required to fast for at least six hours prior. The surgery typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on the treatment area, and involves three main phases:

1. Pre-Procedure Instructions

• Inform the doctor of any medications, allergies, or previous surgeries

• Avoid alcohol and smoking for one week prior

• Discontinue blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin) after medical consultation

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the day of surgery

2. During the Procedure

• A small incision is made (usually under 1 cm)

• A thin cannula is inserted to inject a solution that breaks down fat

• Fat is suctioned using a vacuum-assisted device

• In some cases, harvested fat can be purified and re-injected into other areas for volume enhancement (e.g., buttocks)

3. Aftercare and Recovery

• Compression garments are applied to minimize swelling and support healing

• Drains may be placed temporarily to eliminate fluid build-up

• Patients are typically monitored overnight for safety and comfort

• Abdomen

• Waist and Lower Back
