## What does it involve?

Liposuction is the most popular method for body sculpting. It consists of removing fatty tissue with a suction cannula, reducing areas that diet and exercise do not eliminate. It is also known as liposculpture.

The main areas where it is performed are the cheeks, chin, arms, back, abdomen, legs, hips and pectorals in men. Duration is 1 to 3 hours.

The best candidates are men and women in excellent health with good skin and fat resistant to diet and exercise. A compression garment is recommended for up to 6 weeks.

Santelly · Technique focused on harmonious contour and safe recovery

## What it corrects

- Localised fat resistant to diet and exercise
- Areas that do not respond to training
- Body contour without definition
- Buildup in the waist, flanks or lower back
- Small accumulations in the neck and chin

## Is it for you?

- **Good skin**: Your skin has enough elasticity to retract after fat removal.
- **Weight near ideal**: Liposuction sculpts contour; it does not replace a weight-loss plan.
- **Stable health**: No active smoking and a complete pre-operative work-up.

Private assessment required · Not a treatment for obesity

## FAQ

### How much weight will I lose?

Liposuction is not a weight-loss method: it is contour surgery. The change is seen in the silhouette and the treated areas, not on the scale.

### Does the fat come back?

Removed fat cells do not regenerate in that area. If significant weight is gained, the body may store fat in other areas.

### When is the result visible?

The contour improves within weeks, but the final result appears once swelling settles, between the third and sixth month.
