Liposuction

For many people, achieving their ideal figure may mean a rigorous routine of both eating healthily and regular exercise. Although for many, this may eventually yield the results that they desire, there are still many of us left with pockets of fat that just do not seem to burn away regardless as to how much physical exercise we do and how healthily we eat. This is where Ames can help. With our liposuction procedures (both traditional liposuction and vaser), we can help you achieve your ideal figure, as both procedures are specifically designed to target and remove those “hard to get rid of” pockets of fat.

Who is liposuction for?

If after diet and exercise, you have still not reached your desired figure or you are simply unhappy with your appearance, liposuction may be the answer. It is vital to remember, however, the best results are achieved when you are close to your ideal body mass index (BMI) - a person’s ideal weight according to her or his height. Outside of making you more comfortable with your appearance, liposuction also provides many other benefits such as

• • Improved self confidence and higher self-esteem
• • improved body proportions
• • The ability to wear clothes that you thought you would never fit into again
• • Reduced inflammatory cells
• • Reduced blood fat levels
• • A healthier life style
• • Better mobility
• • Prevention of serious health problems

What is liposuction?

Although liposuction is designed to remove areas of fat in our body, it is important to remember that it is not a weight loss procedure. Instead, it is a type of cosmetic surgery that uses powerful suction in order to remove any unwanted areas or pockets of fat and helps define particular bodily contours. It is common for liposuction to be carried out with other cosmetic prcedures such as tummy tucks and breast reductions. If unsure as to whether liposuction is right for you, you can talk to one of our expert consultants at Ames to discuss the best options for the results that you desire.

Traditional Liposuction

The surgery is performed under general or local anaesthetic and may require you to stay in hospital overnight. On average, the procedure itself often lasts between 1-2 hours depending on the number of target areas and how much fat is to be removed. Your surgeon at Ames, will make a small incision in the target area and insert a thin plastic tube known as a cannula, the other end of which is attached to a powerful device that removes the unwanted fat in the quickest and most efficient way possible.

On what parts of my body can I have liposuction on?

You can have liposuction applied to a wide number of places on you body including all of the following and more:

• • Tummy
• • Waist (flanks)
• • Hips
• • Upper asnd Lower back
• • Chest (gynecomastia)
• • Inner and outer thigh
• • Inner knee
• • Calves
• • Upper arms

Things to know about Traditional liposuction

• • Traditional liposuction is more effective for those with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI).
• • A higher volume of fat can be extracted when compared to Vaser liposuction.
• • The procedure is more invasive than Vaser liposuction and requires a slightly longer downtime.
• • Traditional liposuction can be used with other procedures such as a tummy tuck and a BBL.
• • When compared with Vaser liposuction its cost is cheaper.

With traditional liposuction, can I use the fat that has been extracted for any other procedure?

Yes, you can. At Ames, we have a number of other procedures which fall under the “fat transfer” category where fat is extracted using the “traditional liposuction method” and then injected in the area you wish so that it makes that area more plump and full. Some of the most common types of fat transfer we have on offer are the Brazilian Butt Lift (where extracted fat is transferred to the buttocks of the individual) and a 6 pack fat transfer (where fat is injected into the muscles of the abdomen giving the impression that you have a well formed 6 pack) Please, ask one of our professional patient coordinators, for more information.

Book a free consultation with one of our expert advisors at Ames today, in order to assess your BMI so that we make sure that the procedure is appropriate for you. As there are medical and physical limitations as to how much fat can be safely removed, the procedure may not be suitable for those who are overweight. The procedure itself is best suited for body sculpting as opposed to weight loss.

People who get liposuction with us often have some of the following procedures done too:

Breast Reduction (Reduction Mammaplasty)

Although there are many women looking to make their breasts larger, there are an equal number of women looking to have their breasts reduced as the extra weight can be a burden physically or they are just simply uncomfortable having such large breasts. During a breast reduction operation excess skin and breast tissue is removed and the remaining breast tissue is used to form the shape of the breast.

Breast Implants

Not all of us are endowed with large breasts and for some of us this can lead to low self esteem and confidence. Having an implant is one way you can increase the size of your breasts. At Ames, we use implants in a variety of cups manufactured by Motiva, Mentor as well as polytech

Arm lift (Brachioplasty)

The excess fat and skin under the arm can be one of the most difficult things to shift even after months of dieting. In such circumstances, an arm lift can be used to address this issue. By tightening the underlying supportive tissues and removing excess fat and skin our surgeons will be able to define the shape of your upper arm giving it a thinner and more aesthetic look.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Some of us are left with an excess of skin around our tummy area after losing a lot of weight or giving birth. As this skin cannot be lost through exercise or diet alone, a ‘tummy tuck’ can be used to surgically remove the excess skin to give your tummy a thinner more defined look. It is important to remember that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure and may not be a suitable procedure for everyone.

BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)

For those with less volumptous backsides and even those who just wish to make their backside more rounded and curvaceous , a BBL might just be for you. By extracting fat from other parts of your body using traditional liposuction methods, our surgeons will be able to add this fat back to your buttocks and add more shape and volume.

Penile augmentation

Many men feel self-conscious and even embarrassment while naked around others or with their partner and may feel they would be more confident with a longer or even thicker penis. Phalloplasty aims to address both of these issues with procedures that can help lengthen and widen the penis.
