The Procedure Explained:
- Anaesthesia: The patient is induced with local, regional, or general anaesthesia.
- A sterile, medicated fluid is infuse into the fat making it swell and reduce it from bleeding.
- The fat is removed by a cannula which moves back and forth to break up fat then it suctioned out.
- Using a power assisted(PAL) cannula helps in breaking the fat much faster
- The Ultrasound Assisted(UAL/VASER) liquefies the fat cells before suction.
- Laser Assisted(LAL) dissolves the fat which is later suctioned.
- Water Assisted which is basically a pressurized saline jet which loosens fat cells.
- The dislodged fat and fluid is then removed by cannula which is connected to a vacuum.

This procedure can last indefinitely decades depending on how an individual maintains a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, as during this procedure the fat cells are permanently removed but fat can easily accumulate or regrow if following a unhealthy lifestyle.
Some factors influencing longevity:
- Younger patients have good skin quality which tends to see better skin tightening and contour results.
- Understanding liposuction refines contours and not fully achieves total weigh loss helps prevents disappointment
- Following a healthy lifestyle by eating balanced diet, exercising regularly to preserve the new shape.
- People may notice swelling, bruising, and numbness for several weeks or months.
- Significant results appear around 6 months as swelling resolves and the skin tightens.
- The fat cells are then removed and are gone for good making the body adapt.
