What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure where localized fat is broken up and sucked out of the body.  Liposuction is performed by making small incisions in the body in order to insert a thin tube, or cannula, through the incision into localized fat deposits between the skin and muscle of the patient. A suction pump or syringe is then used to suck out localized fat deposits.

What is the recovery time after Liposuction?

Recovery time after liposuction is usually one to two weeks, depending on the area of the body and the amount of localized fat sucked out.  You will see the end results of Liposuction within one to four months after the procedure.

Is Liposuction Painful?

Liposuction is painful but most surgeons perform the procedure under general anaesthesia to ensure that patients don’t feel pain. They also prescribe painkillers for relieving pain after surgery.

Is Liposuction Permanent?

The liposuction procedure permanently removes localized fat. The patient’s body will retain its contour after liposuction, provided the patient does not gain weight.

What is Non-Surgical Liposuction?

Liposuction procedures that do not use injections or incisions are called non-surgical liposuction procedures. These procedures are performed using laser energy, ultrasound, cryotherapy or radiofrequency.

Liposuction Recovery Tips?

Following the doctor’s post-procedure instructions helps patients to recover quickly and effectively after a liposuction procedure. These will include taking sufficient rest, taking prescribed anti-biotics and pain-killers and wearing compression garments correctly. The patient should also start moving as soon as possible to prevent blood clots but should avoid strenuous activities for at least a month.

I recently considered getting a procedure done and although I changed my mind about it, I had a great experience with Glojas Plastic Surgery Center. Throughout the communication process, I found them to be very easy to talk to and discuss my concerns with. They requested pictures from me to better understand my needs, and I appreciated that they focused on what I truly required rather than suggesting a larger procedure. If I ever decide to move forward with a plastic surgery in the future, they will definitely be at the top of my contact list.

There is nowhere else I'd rather go to address this embarrassing problem I've dealt with for yearsBrooke, South Korea, 24 10 19

I have received several different treatments from G Clinic over the past six months, including laser treatment and FCR for severe acne/scarring on my back and arms. My case is very extreme, but it has improved significantly with the help of Dr. Hong and his team. The staff are all kind, professional, and always make me feel comfortable. Dr. Hong communicates in fluent English, explaining each procedure thoroughly and warning me of any discomfort or side effects I may encounter beforehand. I tend to ask a lot of questions, but he's never made me feel rushed or bothersome for seeking more information. Instead, he's always happy to discuss what to expect, as well as my general progress and future goals for my treatment. As far as the procedures themselves, a little pain is inevitable considering the type of treatment and how sensitive skin can be, but any staff that has ever worked on me has been as gentle as possible. It goes by quickly, and I'm often checked on to make sure nothing is too painful. Overall, I've never had a bad experience at G Clinic over months of visits. There is nowhere else I'd rather go to address this embarrassing problem I've dealt with for years. I look forward to continuing to see more positive results.

I commend the doctor for his expertise and thoroughness throughout my journeyImran, Canada, 18 06 23

I recently underwent gynecomastia surgery at Evita Clinic, and my experience surpassed all expectations. From scheduling my consultation to post-operative care, every aspect was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and sincere concern. Upon arrival, the kind staff and nurses warmly received me, creating a comfortable environment. The clinic arranged both my consultation and surgery on the same day, saving valuable time and ensuring a seamless process. As an international patient from Canada, this efficiency added value to my trip. I commend Dr. Jeon for his expertise and thoroughness throughout my journey at Evita Clinic. He carefully assessed my condition and explained that I was between grade one and two gynecomastia, making me a candidate for the surgery. Dr. Jeon emphasizes that patients manage expectations, emphasizing improvement rather than perfection. He also personally talked with me about appropriate exercise, how and when to use bandages, steri-strips, iodine swabs, etc., that are part all part of the prescribed aftercare. Evita Clinic's comprehensive approach to aftercare stood out compared to other clinics. Along with the surgery, I received a compression vest, massages, and light therapy sessions. The staff provided regular follow-ups and guidance to ensure smooth recovery. The staff at Evita Clinic were not only proficient in English but also went beyond the surgery to assist me in navigating and enjoying Korea as a tourist. Their exceptional service extended beyond the medical aspect, making my experience even more satisfying. I appreciate that Evita Clinic went the extra mile by sending the excised tissue for a biopsy, demonstrating their commitment to safety and thoroughness. I received a complimentary biopsy report, further reassuring me of the clinic's dedication to comprehensive care. Just a couple weeks after the surgery, I am already thrilled with the results, which exceeded my expectations. I look forward to the continued improvement in the coming months. I am sincerely grateful for the positive impact the surgery has had on my life and confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Evita Clinic to anyone considering gynecomastia surgery. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care, combined with comprehensive aftercare, create an exceptional experience.

The reviews are real, I'm a 62-year-old male Australian who looks closer to his 40s after an incredible facelift surgery. The customer care service is second to none even though my hotel was across the road from the Clinic they insisted on putting me in a taxi on all my visits back and forth. I am super happy with the results at 1/3 the cost quoted in Australia, it's was such a great experience my wife now wants to do the same, excellent surgeon and friendly caring staff, I highly recommend Bangkok Plastic Surgery.

Liposuction $3462 - $6924
Liposuction is suitable for those individuals who wish to maintain a perfect body shape and contour. A healthy diet and exercise are mandatory to sustain the results before and after the procedure. Contrary to popular belief,liposuction is NOT a weight reduction procedure. However, a slight reduction in weight is noticeable.   Individuals who have lost significant amounts of weight by exercise and dieting will always find certain areas of the body where there will be stubborn fat.  These areas of stubborn fat are suitable to be tackled by liposuction surgery.
Body-Jet™ Liposuction $3462 - $6924
Body Jet liposuction involves water-assisted liposuction which is safe, effective and has minimal downtime.

Tummy Tuck $4616 - $5770
Tummy Tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) is a popular form of cosmetic surgery for people wishing to regain a flatter abdomen. Abdominoplasty is designed to flatten the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. It is an excellent procedure to correct excess lower abdominal skin and repair muscle laxity. Types of tummy tuck surgery? A mini tummy tuck, full tummy tuck and extended tummy tuck surgery. What are the differences between the three types of tummy tucks? Mini tummy tuck surgery is ideal for those who have a slight excess of skin and fat below the belly button. Full tummy tuck surgery is for those who have a significant excess of skin and fat in the upper and lower abdomen. Extended tummy tuck surgery is for those who also have a significant amount of excess skin and fat at the hip and lower back areas. A tummy tuck is performed by making a horizontal incision from hip bone to hip bone and removing skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightening the abdominal wall muscles.

I'm currently 15 days post-op but I feel obligated to leave a review given the quality of my experience so far. Dr. Karthick Ram is one of the top surgeons in the city so you can expect excellent results. He genuinely cares about you and your concerns. My surgery went really well. I love the outcome of the surgery and my new appearance. From the very beginning, I felt like i was in safe hands. Also I want to highlight all the staff assisting there. I felt respected and cared for throughout the entire process from everyone I interacted with. After my surgery the follow up and responsiveness of the team has been fantastic . This was very important for me because my surgery was addressing something that has negatively affected my mental health for over a decade now. I'm very much satisfied with the final results and it is worth every penny! My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Karthick Ram and team. I highly recommend anyone Dr. Karthick sir because of his expertise and experience.
