Enhance your body with a sleeker, refined contour
Stubborn fat for example around the hips, abdomen, flanks or under your chin are a common issue for many patients, no matter your age, lifestyle or diet. Liposuction is designed to target and remove these localised fat deposits to help you achieve a smoother more refined shape. Even with consistent exercise and a balanced diet, the body naturally holds onto fat in areas that resist all efforts. Liposuction effectively removes the fat in these problem areas in one single procedure, which is why it remains one of the most sought-after cosmetic treatments today, and as a result, renewed confidence
Several techniques can be used during a liposuction procedure and they all use a cannula; a thin, hollow tube called a cannula that is inserted beneath the skin and connected to a vacuum that allows to gently remove unwanted fat. Each technique has its own advantages, and we will recommend the best option based on your body type, goals, and treatment areas.
During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations in detail. Dr. Ranieri will perform a comprehensive evaluation, which includes a review of your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions or lifestyle factors that may influence the safety or effectiveness of the procedure. If you are considered a suitable candidate, he will outline the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and objectives, and will provide thorough information regarding the procedure, expected results, recovery process, and potential risks or complications.
Small, precisely planned incisions in the target area are made to introduce a fine cannula into the subcutaneous plane. Through controlled movements, the cannula facilitates the disruption and aspiration of adipose tissue until the desired contour and symmetry are achieved. The incisions are subsequently closed with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures, depending on the technique employed and individual patient factors.
After your liposuction procedure, a personalized follow-up schedule will be established to monitor healing progress, evaluate contour evolution, and ensure an optimal aesthetic outcome. Compression garments will be applied to minimize swelling and facilitate uniform skin retraction. Early ambulation will be encouraged to promote adequate circulation, while strenuous physical activity should be avoided for several weeks. Lymphatic drainage massages may be recommended to accelerate the resolution of postoperative oedema and improve tissue recovery.
During the recovery process, you will experience temporary bruising, swelling and soreness, all of which will fade over time. In some cases, a small drain may be placed to remove excess fluid or blood.

To ensure safe and effective results, liposuction is suitable for adult patients who are in good health, both mentally and physically, with good muscle tone and firm, elastic skin. It is important that you have realistic expectations, as this procedure is ideal for removing stubborn fat deposits that cannot be tackled through exercise and diet, not as a weight loss solution. During your consultation, your provider will assess your health, goals and body composition to confirm if this treatment is appropriate.
In general, age is not relevant, it is more important that you have the required elasticity and firmness in your skin. If you are fit and healthy with good skin elasticity, you could be a good candidate. Your suitability for liposuction can be established during your consultation with Dr Ranieri.
No, liposuction does not remove cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fibrous connective bands beneath the skin that pull down on the tissue, creating a dimpled ‘orange peel’ appearance. Whereas, liposuction targets fat deposits rather than the tissue that causes the cellulite, which means that it can’t effectively eliminate it.
Yes, liposuction is a method of permanently removing unwanted pockets of fat to provide a smoother outline. However, although the fats cells that have been removed cannot regrow, if you put on weight, the remaining fat cells can expand and new fat deposits can form in other parts of your body.
