Slim Liposuction Melbourne
Removes fat from specific areas of the body and is suited for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Losing weight through natural methods and regular exercise offers more health benefits compared to liposuction. We strongly encourage patients to pursue their goals using natural and healthy approaches before contemplating liposuction. It's important to note that liposuction is not a method for weight loss.
Also known as Slim Lipolysis Surgery, Slim Lipo is a laser-based system of liposuction that targets fat in certain areas of the body.
Before deciding on cosmetic surgery, it's important to have realistic expectations about the outcome. Talk to your cosmetic doctor about what to expect from the surgery, and make sure you understand the recovery time and results.
Slim Liposuction Vs Traditional Liposuction
Slim liposuction is unlike traditional liposuction, which uses a suction tube (cannula) moved back and forth to break up and remove fat cells. Slim liposuction employs a laser to liquefy excess fat cells before they are removed through a smaller micro-sized tube.
Slim liposuction has a dual laser wavelength. One wavelength targets fat, specifically using a headlight pattern. The other wavelength targets the skin.
What Type of Anaesthetic is Used?
We utilise a local anaesthetic known as tumescent anaesthesia. This numbs the area while constricting the blood vessels.
