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.

He has always been friendly and keeps his patients well informedHennie, South Africa, 11 01 22

I have known Dr Meintjes since 1986. Over the years, he has performed various minor surgeries on myself, my wife and our youngest daughter. His service has always been excellent, nothing too small for him. He has always been friendly and keeps his patients well informed. Always has time for the smallest of surgeries required. Hope that he will be around for a good number of years to come and wish him all of the best.

Liposuction  
The technique involves injection of fluid, including local anaesthetic, into the area to be refined prior to the actual procedure, the so-called tumescent technique. This is an outstanding procedure with low morbidity and predictable results if patient selection criteria are strict and technique is sound. Surface bruising will usually resolve in 10 to 14 days. Pleasing improvement is noticeable within 7 to 14 days. The final result will usually be evident after 8 to 10 weeks. Careful evaluation of the skin tone is required. The patient's age and the amount of fat to be removed from a particular area can and will influence the "tone" of the skin after the procedure and this is discussed prior to the procedure.

I am left completely overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration for her and her exceptional teamAndrei, South Africa, 27 05 26

On 21 May 2026, I underwent my third major procedure with Dr. Clare Neser — a Bilateral gynaecomastia correction with lateral vertical thoracic excision and brachioplasty under general anaesthetic — and once again, I am left completely overwhelmed with gratitude and admiration for her and her exceptional team. After already experiencing two life-changing surgeries with Dr. Neser, I truly did not think it was possible to be even more impressed, yet this experience once again confirmed what an extraordinary surgeon she is. Her skill, precision, professionalism, and genuine compassion are simply world-class. What continues to amaze me is not only the outstanding surgical results, but also the level of care throughout the entire process. From the moment you arrive, you are treated with kindness, dignity, and reassurance. The theatre staff, anaesthetist, reception team, and every single person involved create an environment where you genuinely feel safe and cared for. Once again, I woke up from major surgery with remarkably well-managed pain, something that still feels almost unbelievable considering the extent of the procedures I have undergone. It speaks volumes about the level of expertise and coordination between Dr. Neser, the anaesthetist, and her medical team. There are honestly not enough words to express my gratitude. Dr. Neser is not only a brilliant plastic surgeon, but also a compassionate human being who truly changes lives. Her work has had a profound impact on my confidence and quality of life. If you are ever in need of a plastic surgeon, I can assure you with complete confidence that you will struggle to find someone more skilled, caring, and professional than Dr. Clare Neser and her team. I recommend her without a shadow of a doubt.

Go and see him for a consultation and you will seeJonty, South Africa, 22 09 25

I highly recommend Dr. Gideon Maresky! I travelled to South Africa from the U.S. and scheduled an appointment with him for a second opinion regarding a tummy tuck to address loose skin in my abdominal area. I was initially going to go with another surgeon in Cape Town, but after meeting Dr. Maresky, I felt so comfortable and confident in him. He struck me as the kind of person who would do everything possible to deliver the best result, so I decided to proceed with him instead, and he did not disappoint. Dr. Maresky has a great sense of humour, and he is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He proposed performing the tummy tuck in a way that would leave only one scar instead of two, as the other surgeon had suggested. He also had availability within a week, which suited me perfectly since I had planned to recover in South Africa before returning to the U.S. and had limited time. During the surgery, he did everything I had asked for to deliver the very best results (some of which he could only determine once he began the procedure). After my surgery, he was with me every step of the way, and I was in daily contact with him. He never compromised on my well-being and insisted I keep my fluid drain in for as long as necessary. I followed his instructions exactly, and now, five weeks post-surgery, I’ve had no issues at all. Although I am still swollen, I can already see that the results are going to be excellent and exactly what I wanted. Dr. Maresky is not only a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, but also a truly lovely human being who is deeply committed to and genuinely cares about his patients. Go and see him for a consultation and you will see!

With a surgical facelift, the general approach taken by Dr Dower is to provide a natural-looking facial enhancement without creating an overstated appearance. Among other techniques, he can perform the high-SMAS facelift, which offers the most natural results and is, in his opinion, one of the most powerful techniques available to rejuvenate the face.
