Liposuction
Dramatic body contouring — without the diet struggle.
Dramatic body contouring — without the diet struggle.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment — it is body sculpting. By precisely removing stubborn fat cells that resist diet and exercise, the procedure delivers a dramatic change in body contour without requiring a complete lifestyle overhaul.
At Link Plastic Surgery, we use a handcrafted micro-cannula technique for maximum precision. Every curve is sculpted by hand — not by machine — for a smooth, natural result.
1–2 hours depending on the number of areas treated and volume of fat removal.
Sedation anesthesia. No hospitalization required — return home the same day.
Compression garment for 4–6 weeks. Light activity within 7 days. Stitch removal at 7 days.
Permanent fat cell reduction. Final contour visible at 3–6 months as swelling resolves. Maintained with stable weight.
Remove stubborn submental fat caused by aging, weight gain, or genetics for a defined jawline.
Slim sagging upper arms by reducing fat cell count for a tighter, more toned appearance.
Custom abdominal design targeting both deep and superficial fat layers for a flat, contoured midsection.
Precise body analysis followed by careful suction for slimmer thighs and longer-looking legs.
Remove localized fat deposits along the waist for a smooth, natural body line.
Using fine micro-cannulas, our surgeon removes fat by hand — meticulously sculpting every curve for a smooth, even result. This handcrafted approach allows for greater precision than machine-assisted methods.
Slim the torso while enhancing the bust for a balanced, proportionate silhouette.
Combine with abdominal liposuction for a completely refined midsection.
Harvest removed fat and reinject it for natural volume — face, breasts, or buttocks.
Your surgeon evaluates your skin elasticity, fat distribution, body proportions, and goals. A personalized treatment plan is designed for each area.
Treatment zones are marked precisely on your body. Sedation anesthesia is administered — you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Fine micro-cannulas are inserted through tiny incisions. Fat is suctioned layer by layer — deep and superficial — by hand for a smooth, even contour. Procedure takes 1–2 hours.
A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks to support healing and contouring. Light activity resumes within 7 days. Temporary lumping may occur but resolves naturally. Final shape settles at 3–6 months.
Good candidates are generally healthy adults at or near their target weight who have localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Liposuction is body contouring — not a weight-loss method. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity for optimal results.
No. Liposuction removes localized fat deposits to reshape your body contour. It is not designed for significant weight reduction. Patients should be close to their ideal weight before surgery for the best results.
There is no universal fixed limit — the safe volume depends on your body weight, overall health, and the areas being treated. Your surgeon will determine the appropriate amount during consultation. Removing too much at once increases risks, so safety always takes priority over volume.
Fat cells removed by liposuction do not regenerate under normal circumstances. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with significant weight gain, and in extreme cases, new fat cells may form. Maintaining a stable weight preserves your results long-term.
Micro-cannula liposuction uses finer instruments that allow for more precise, layer-by-layer fat removal. This reduces the risk of skin irregularities, lumping, and bruising compared to larger cannulas. Link PS uses this handcrafted technique for a smoother result.
Skin elasticity varies by age, genetics, and the area treated. Patients with good skin tone generally see the skin retract smoothly. In cases of poor elasticity, your surgeon may recommend combining liposuction with skin tightening treatments.
Most visible swelling subsides within 2–4 weeks. However, subtle swelling can persist for 3–6 months. The final contour becomes visible as all residual swelling resolves. Wearing the compression garment as directed helps speed this process.
Yes. Multiple areas — such as abdomen, flanks, and thighs — are commonly treated in a single session. The number of areas depends on your overall health, total fat volume, and safe operating time.
Incisions for cannula insertion are very small (3–5mm) and are placed in inconspicuous locations. They typically fade to nearly invisible marks within a few months.
As with any surgery, risks include swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, skin irregularities, fluid collection, infection, and asymmetry. Serious complications are rare with experienced surgeons. Temporary lumping during recovery is common and resolves naturally over time.
We recommend 7–10 days. Surgery on day 1–2, stitch removal at day 7, and clearance from your surgeon before flying. Your surgeon will confirm when it is safe to travel, as long-haul flights shortly after surgery may increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Initial improvement is visible within weeks as swelling subsides. However, the final contour takes 3–6 months to fully settle as residual swelling resolves and the skin retracts. Patience during this period is important — the result continues to improve over time.
Surgery temporarily increases DVT risk, which can be worsened by long flights with limited movement. To reduce risk, your surgeon will advise when it is safe to fly and may recommend compression stockings, staying hydrated, and walking periodically during the flight.
Before surgery, your care coordinator will explain the post-op follow-up system including remote check-ins via WhatsApp video, emergency contact options, and what steps to take if a concern develops after returning home.
