TARGETED FAT REMOVAL FOR ENHANCED DEFINITION

Do you have small pockets of unwanted fat that aren’t budging despite dieting and exercising? If you have minor amounts of fat to remove, you might want to consider micro-liposuction instead of traditional liposuction.

 

WHAT IS MICRO-LIPOSUCTION?

Micro-liposuction (aka MicroLipo or micro-lipo) removes localised fat deposits very precisely using tiny cannulas — much smaller in size than traditional liposuction. These micro cannulas can be as small as 2mm in diameter. Micro-suction is perfect for those awkward little areas of fat you just can’t seem to shift, such as the fat under the the chin, on the cheeks or buccal area, and on the knees. If you choose micro liposuction, you’re happy with your weight — you just want to shape or enhance a stubborn area. You’ll notice the results immediately after your micro-liposuction, and as your swelling goes down, the results will continue to improve over the coming weeks.

HOW DOES MICRO-LIPOSUCTION WORK?

Karidis surgeons use power-assisted liposuction or PAL lipo with the smaller cannulas. It uses a powered cannula and vibrations emulsify the fat for removal. Due to the micro procedure, patients can return to work after one or two days. There may be some discomfort once the anaesthetic has worn off, but this can be relieved with painkillers.

WHAT AREAS CAN MICRO-LIPO TARGET FAT?

Micro-liposuction is very precise and can target the following fatty areas:

  • Chin
  • Cheeks
  • Knees

After the fat has been removed, you have the option to transfer it to another area of the body, for example, fat transfer to the breasts.

 

MICROLIPO VS TRADITIONAL LIPOSUCTION

One of the main differences between MicroLipo and traditional liposuction is the cannula size. Traditional liposuction uses cannulas which are large in comparison — 4 to 6mm in diameter. Whereas micro-liposuction uses tiny cannulas less than 3mm in diameter, resulting in smaller incisions and quicker recovery. MicroLipo is also used for smaller areas of the body (face, neck, arms and ankles, for example) due to the precision available with the smaller cannula and smaller incisions.

If you’re looking to remove large areas of fat, you’ll need traditional liposuction for maximum effect, making plans for a longer recovery time.
