Liposuction

Liposuction, a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure, focuses on removing unwanted fat from specific body parts, thereby sculpting and enhancing your overall silhouette. At St John & Elizabeth Hospital, our skilled surgeons utilise the latest techniques to ensure safe, effective, and tailored outcomes, aligned with your aesthetic goals.

Also known as: body contouring, fat removal surgery

Everything You Need to Know

Liposuction is ideal for targeting stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise efforts, such as those in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. Our approach integrates state-of-the-art technology with a deep understanding of body aesthetics to achieve results that compliment your body’s natural contours. Prioritising your safety and satisfaction, we provide a seamless experience from consultation through recovery.
