Persistent localized fat deposits that are resistant to conventional diet and exercise regimens often require a medical solution. At GLOJAS Aesthetic Clinic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, we offer evidence-based liposuction procedures performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in a Ministry of Health (KKM)-licensed facility.
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits through cannula-assisted suction. It is not a substitute for weight loss but serves to contour areas where fat is resistant to diet and exercise.
Subcutaneous fat accumulation in abdomen, flanks, thighs, chin, or arms
Asymmetrical body contours
Lipodystrophy syndromes or conditions like lipedema
Our facility adheres to international surgical safety standards and is led by consultants with over 26 years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. We employ VASER-assisted, tumescent, and laser-assisted liposuction techniques that are clinically validated for safety and efficacy.

After liposuction, swelling usually subsides within a few weeks, and by this time, the treated area should appear less swollen. Within a few months, you can expect the area to look more slender. As people age, the skin may lose some of its firmness, but the results of liposuction generally last for a long time, especially if you maintain a stable weight. If you gain weight after the procedure, your fat distribution may change, potentially leading to fat accumulation in areas like the abdomen, even if they were not originally treated.
We tailor the technique to each patient’s anatomy and goals, ensuring both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
✅ Tumescent Liposuction
A gold-standard technique utilizing diluted local anesthesia (tumescent fluid) to reduce bleeding, pain, and complications.
✅ VASER Liposuction
An ultrasound-assisted technique that emulsifies fat prior to removal, offering precision with less trauma to surrounding tissues.
✅ Laser-Assisted Liposuction (SmartLipo)
Ideal for smaller, delicate regions such as the neck and chin. It uses heat to liquefy fat, promoting skin tightening.
Liposuction can be performed in isolation or as an adjunct to other body contouring procedures. Common target zones include:
Abdomen & Flanks (Love Handles): Enhances core definition and waist symmetry
Thighs (Inner & Outer): Improves leg contour, reduces chafing
Upper Arms: Often combined with brachioplasty for improved tone
Buttocks & Hips: Re-shapes gluteal areas while preserving proportions
Submental Region (Double Chin): Defines the jawline and improves facial angles
Brachioplasty (arm lift) removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. Liposuction can be used to remove stubborn fat, creating a more toned, defined look.
Flanks liposuction targets the “love handles” or sides of the waist, removing excess fat to create a slimmer, more contoured silhouette.
Buttocks liposuction removes excess fat from the buttocks area to enhance shape, reduce volume, and create a more toned and defined appearance.
Tummy liposuction removes stubborn fat from the abdominal area, helping to flatten the stomach and create a more sculpted, contoured midsection.
Thighs liposuction removes excess fat from the inner and outer thighs, creating a slimmer, more toned appearance and improving overall leg contour.
Double chin liposuction removes excess fat under the chin, helping to create a more defined jawline and smoother, youthful profile.
🔹 Postoperative Results
Initial swelling subsides within 2–4 weeks.
Optimal contour results are visible by the 3rd month.
Incisions are typically less than 1 cm and well-hidden.
🔹 Recovery Timeline
Light activities may resume within 48–72 hours.
Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks.
Return to strenuous activity is advised after 3–4 weeks.
🔹 Durability of Results
Fat cells removed are permanently eliminated.
Weight gain post-procedure may result in redistribution to untreated areas.

Liposuction is best for:
Adults in good overall health
People with localized fat and good skin elasticity
Non-smokers or those who can stop smoking before/after surgery
Individuals within 30% of their ideal weight
Patients seeking body sculpting, not drastic weight loss
We do not recommend liposuction for obesity treatment, loose skin correction, or patients with serious underlying health conditions.
At GLOJAS, we provide transparent, personalized pricing based on your body type and treatment needs.
💸 Liposuction cost in Malaysia typically ranges from RM5,000 to RM32,000, depending on:

🔹 1. Is liposuction a weight loss solution?
No, liposuction is not a weight reduction method. It is a body contouring procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It works best for individuals near their ideal weight but seeking refinement of specific areas.
🔹 2. Who is an ideal candidate for liposuction in Malaysia?
An ideal candidate is someone with stable body weight, good skin elasticity, and localized fat that doesn’t respond to lifestyle changes. Patients with significant health issues, poor circulation, or loose skin may need alternative procedures or combined treatments.
🔹 3. What is the difference between VASER and traditional liposuction?
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound technology to liquefy fat before extraction, making the procedure gentler and more precise. It reduces trauma to surrounding tissues and is ideal for high-definition sculpting. Traditional liposuction uses manual suction and may involve more recovery time.
🔹 4. How long is the recovery period after liposuction?
Most patients can resume light activities within 2–3 days. Swelling and bruising may persist for a few weeks, and full results are typically visible within 3–6 months. Compression garments are recommended for 4–6 weeks.
🔹 5. Are the results of liposuction permanent?
Yes, fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining the result requires a healthy diet and regular exercise, as remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.
🔹 6. Is liposuction safe in Malaysia?
Yes. When performed by a licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon in a MOH-approved facility, liposuction in Malaysia is safe and meets international medical standards. Preoperative assessments help minimize risks.
🔹 7. What areas can be treated with liposuction?
Liposuction is commonly performed on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, neck (double chin), back, and hips. Each area is assessed for fat volume, skin laxity, and suitability for treatment.
🔹 8. What is the cost of liposuction in Malaysia?
Costs vary based on treatment area, technique used, and amount of fat removed. On average, procedures range from RM5,000 to RM20,000 per area. A consultation is essential for a personalized quote.
🔹 9. Will there be scars after liposuction?
Scars are minimal and typically less than 1 cm. Incisions are made in discreet locations, and with proper care, scars fade significantly over time.
🔹 10. Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Liposuction is often combined with fat transfer, tummy tuck, brachioplasty, or skin tightening treatments for comprehensive body contouring. Your surgeon will advise based on clinical evaluation.
