WHAT IS LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is a body contouring and sculpturing surgery. It is not meant for patients who just want to lose weight. The best liposuction surgery results can be achieved in conjunction with exercise and diet planning.
HOW IS THE LIPOSUCTION SURGERY PERFORMED?
This procedure can be done under sedation or general anaesthesia. Small volume liposuction can be done as a day surgery procedure. Large volume of liposuction may require hospitalization as required by the Ministry of Health.
Liposuction can also be combined with abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Post liposuction, there could be skin laxity. Non-surgical radio frequency or infra-red based skin tightening procedures can be used to improve this.
Power-assisted liposuction has been a proven technique and is most popular in Singapore.
Vaser liposuction was once thought to be the best for skin tightening. But it has been associated with complications like skin burn and organ perforation.
COST OF LIPOSUCTION SURGERY
The cost of liposuction surgery in Singapore typically includes the surgeon’s fees, anaesthesia fees, facility charges, and pre and post-operative care. It is important to note that choosing the cheapest option may not always be the best decision, as the quality of the surgeon and the facility should be a priority to ensure safety and optimal results.
