Why Choose Liposuction at Novomed in Abu Dhabi?

Many people struggle to lose stubborn fat, even with a strict diet and exercise regimen. Liposuction targets these fat deposits, helping you achieve your desired body contour. However, it is essential to remember that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution and is not designed to remove cellulite or stretch marks. It is often combined with other procedures like neck lifts, facelifts, breast reductions, or tummy tucks for a comprehensive body transformation.

At Novomed Plastic Surgery Hospital, we offer a wide range of liposuction techniques tailored to each patient’s unique needs and body type. Our specialists are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a safe and successful procedure with long-lasting results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?

You may be a suitable candidate for liposuction if:

You are close to your ideal body weight
You have good skin elasticity
You are committed to a healthy lifestyle
You are in overall good health

Your plastic surgeon at Novomed will assess these factors during your initial consultation.

Preparing for Liposuction: What to Expect

Your liposuction journey at Novomed begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons. They will discuss your goals, explain the procedure, and review alternatives, risks, and benefits. You will also receive information about the cost, which can vary depending on the areas treated.

During this consultation, your doctor will evaluate your health, take photographs for reference, and discuss expected results. Be sure to inform your surgeon about any allergies, medications, or health conditions. You may need to stop taking certain medications, like blood thinners, before the procedure. Our patient coordinator will also provide you with clear instructions to ensure you are fully prepared.

Types of Liposuction Offered at Novomed

At Novomed, we provide a comprehensive range of advanced liposuction techniques, allowing us to tailor each procedure to the individual needs of our patients. Every body is unique, and our goal is to deliver the most effective results with minimal discomfort and downtime. Below are the cutting-edge liposuction methods we offer, each designed to treat specific body areas, fat types, and patient goals.

1. Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is one of the most commonly used liposuction techniques due to its effectiveness and safety. In this method, a large amount of a saline solution mixed with epinephrine and a local anesthetic is injected into the fatty tissue. This solution serves several functions: the saline helps to expand the fat cells, making them easier to remove, while the epinephrine constricts blood vessels to minimize blood loss and reduce bruising. The local anesthetic also helps to numb the area, allowing for a more comfortable recovery. Tumescent liposuction is versatile and can be used to treat many areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and neck.

2. Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL)
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) uses ultrasonic waves to break down and liquefy fat before it is suctioned out of the body. The ultrasound energy is delivered through a specialized metal rod inserted beneath the skin, which targets fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues, such as blood vessels and nerves, relatively unharmed. UAL is particularly useful for treating denser, fibrous areas of fat, such as in the upper back, male chest (gynecomastia), or flanks. It also enables more precise fat removal and can improve skin retraction, leaving the treated area smoother and more contoured.

3. VASER Liposuction
VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) liposuction is an advanced form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction that uses a specialized cannula with grooves to emit ultrasonic waves. These waves break apart fat cells while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. One of the benefits of VASER liposuction is that it allows for a higher degree of precision, making it ideal for patients looking for more defined body sculpting, such as abdominal etching or high-definition liposuction. The procedure also promotes better skin tightening compared to traditional liposuction, making it an excellent option for patients with moderate skin laxity.

4. Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) uses a vibrating cannula (a small, thin tube) that moves back and forth rapidly to break up fat cells, allowing them to be easily suctioned out. The mechanical movement of the cannula reduces the physical effort required by the surgeon, enabling more precise and quicker fat removal. PAL is an excellent choice for larger treatment areas where more significant fat removal is required, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Because the process is more efficient, patients often experience shorter operating times and potentially quicker recovery periods.

5. Laser-Assisted Liposuction
Laser-assisted liposuction, also known as SmartLipo, employs laser energy to liquefy fat before it is removed. A laser fiber is inserted through a small incision in the skin, and as the laser energy is applied, it melts the fat cells, making them easier to extract with a suction device. In addition to fat removal, the laser stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten the skin, providing smoother and firmer results. Laser-assisted liposuction is ideal for smaller areas of fat removal, such as the neck, arms, or chin, and is particularly beneficial for patients concerned about skin laxity post-surgery.

6. Suction-Assisted Liposuction (SAL)
Suction-assisted liposuction (SAL) is the traditional form of liposuction and remains a popular choice for many patients. It involves the use of a vacuum-powered cannula to physically remove fat cells from the body through small incisions in the skin. The surgeon manually moves the cannula back and forth to break up fat deposits, which are then suctioned out. SAL is effective for treating larger areas of the body where significant fat removal is required. While the method is more labor-intensive compared to newer techniques, it is still highly effective for achieving substantial fat reduction.

The Liposuction Procedure

Liposuction at Novomed is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Depending on the areas treated and the amount of fat being removed, the procedure lasts between one and two hours. Small incisions are made in the skin, through which a cannula is inserted to break up and remove fat using techniques like high-frequency vibration or laser pulses. After the fat is removed, the incisions are closed with stitches, and the treated areas are bandaged to reduce swelling.

Following the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery room before being discharged, with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Recovery and Aftercare

It’s normal to experience some bruising, swelling, or fatigue after the procedure. You may be prescribed medications to manage discomfort and will need to wear a compression garment for two to six weeks. Depending on the extent of your liposuction, you may require a few days to a few weeks off work and should avoid strenuous activities during the recovery period. Stitches are usually removed within five to ten days, and while you’ll notice immediate results, it may take up to six months to see the full effect of the procedure.

How Long Do Liposuction Results Last?

Liposuction provides permanent results by removing fat cells from the treated areas. However, maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy diet and exercise routine is crucial to preserving your new contour. Since the removed fat does not regenerate, your slimmer appearance can be long-lasting as long as you avoid significant weight gain.
