About Liposuction for men

What liposuction involves

Liposuction is usually performed under general anaesthesia, however in certain situations it may be performed under local anaesthesia. Fluid containing local anaesthetic is infused into the areas where fat is to be removed. The fat is removed using a suction device. Liposuction can be combined with other procedures to optimise the results.

Recovery

Some patients go home the same day, others stay in hospital overnight. You may wish to allow 1-2 weeks for recovery depending on your occupation. Heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. A compression garment is worn during the recovery period.

1 week: wound check and review

6 weeks: You should be able to return to most of your normal activities. Swelling will subside

The swelling will reduce and your result will continue to improve over several months.

Is liposuction right for me?

The decision to have liposuction is very personal, but empowering. With his relaxed but informative consultation style, Mr Molajo will seek to examine concerns and determine what you want to achieve. Mr Molajo will conduct a detailed assessment to identify the best options available and review your medical history to confirm your eligibility.

Occasionally Mr Molajo encounters patients who are not suitable for liposuction. Mr Molajo will advise if this surgery is right for you. Patient safety is at the centre of his surgical practice.

Risks

Liposuction usually produces high satisfaction, but certain risks need consideration. These include risks common to all surgery, such as but not limited to; bleeding, infection, and unpredictable scarring. Further risks associated with liposuction include contour irregularity (lumpiness) altered sensation, loose skin and wound healing issues.
