Liposuction

Liposuction removes stubborn fat from specific areas of the body, helping to create a more sculpted and defined appearance. It is a suitable option for those who have difficulty achieving their desired shape through diet and exercise alone. This procedure targets areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips, providing a tailored approach to body contouring.

What To Expect

Consultation

We’ll discuss your goals, assess your health, and review treatment areas to help you make an informed decision. Formal quotation will be provided following your initial consultation.

Risks

All surgeries have potential risks and complications that can arise. Some generalised risks such as allergic reactions, capsular contracture, blood clots and discomfort. You can read further information about risks on our resources page.

Aneasthesia

The procedure is performed under a general anaesthetic for your comfort by a qualified anaesthetist in an accredited facility, Somerset Private Hospital or Nepean Private Hospital.

Incision

Incisions are strategically made along natural body creases to minimise visible scarring, ensuring a more discreet result.

Recovery

During recovery, you will rest, follow the provided aftercare instructions, and receive support from Dr Preketes and our dedicated team. You can find more information regarding post operative care by downloading our information pack.

Results

After your recovery period you will be able to see your results that generally continue to improve up 6 months post operation. You must attend an annual review with Dr Preketes.

FAQs

Is there a Medicare rebate available?

Unfortunately, as Liposuction is classed as an elective surgery there are no rebates available.

Can I undergo Liposuction with other surgeries at the same time?

In many cases, it is possible to undergo multiple cosmetic procedures at the same time depending on the other treatment and your surgeon’s recommendation. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time and minimise anaesthesia sessions.

How much down time is needed?

After Liposuction, we recommend 1 week off from work, with the ability to resume light activities. Full recovery usually takes about 6 weeks.

What are the risks?

All surgery carries potential risks of complications such as infection, scarring, and allergic reactions. Choosing an experienced surgeon and discussing potential risks can help minimise these concerns. For a more extensive list of Risks and Complications that relate to Liposuction, please see our Patient Resources.

Is the procedure painful?

While surgery itself is not painful due to anaesthesia, there may be some discomfort during the recovery process. Pain levels vary depending on the procedure, but Dr Preketes will provide pain management options to help minimise discomfort during healing.
