Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes localised fat deposits from specific areas of the body — including the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, arms, chin, and chest. Dr. Cheema uses advanced tumescent and suction-assisted techniques to sculpt clean contours while minimising bruising and recovery time. This is not a weight-loss procedure — it’s a contouring tool for patients who are near their ideal weight but have areas that won’t respond to exercise.
Adults within 15–20% of their ideal body weight who have localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Patients with good skin elasticity tend to see the best results. Liposuction works well as a standalone procedure or combined with a tummy tuck for comprehensive body reshaping. Dr. Cheema evaluates your fat distribution, skin quality, and goals to recommend the right approach.
Most patients return to light activities within 3–5 days and full exercise within 3–4 weeks. A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks to support contouring. Swelling peaks in the first week and progressively resolves over 2–3 months. Final body shape is typically visible at the 3-month mark.
