Liposuction, also known as fat-removal surgery or suction-assisted lipectomy, is a medically approved body-contouring procedure that removes localized fat deposits to sculpt and refine your shape. It is not a weight-loss method but a precise technique for achieving smoother, more defined body contours.

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or fat reduction surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body.
Using a precise suction technique, it eliminates stubborn fat beneath the skin, reshaping and contouring problem areas for a more defined appearance.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. It is best suited for individuals with localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
The procedure involves a small incision through which a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted. The cannula is connected to a suction device that removes fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues largely unaffected.

Your transformation begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our surgeon analyses your body shape, fat distribution, and skin tone to design a tailored contouring plan.

Using advanced suction-assisted and ultrasound-guided techniques, our team focuses on maximising fat removal while minimising downtime.
Most patients resume light activities within one to two weeks, enjoying visible, natural-looking results in four to six weeks.
When weight increases, fat cells expand. Liposuction permanently removes some of these fat cells from targeted areas. After the procedure, the body maintains its new shape as long as the individual keeps a stable weight.
If the skin has good elasticity, it usually molds smoothly to the new contour. However, loose or thin skin may appear saggy after fat removal.
Please note that Liposuction does not treat cellulite, dimples, or stretch marks.
Liposuction is suitable for individuals who:
Have localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise
Maintain a stable body weight
Have good skin tone and elasticity
Are in overall good health without major medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or poor circulation
It is not recommended as a substitute for weight-loss surgery.
Liposuction can be used to treat several parts of the body, including:
Abdomen and waist
Hips and thighs
Upper arms
Buttocks
Calves and ankles
Chest and back
Chin, jawline, and neck
In men, liposuction can also reduce excess breast tissue, a condition called gynecomastia.
The most common method. A sterile fluid mixture containing saline, pain medication, and vasoconstrictors is injected into the target area. Then, a thin cannula is inserted to suction fat through a vacuum device.
This method uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat before removal. The latest version, known as VASER® Liposuction, enhances skin tightening and precision for delicate areas.
Uses laser energy to melt fat deposits through small incisions. It helps tighten the skin and is effective for smaller areas like the neck or arms.
A rapidly vibrating cannula helps break down dense fat tissue, making extraction faster and less traumatic. It is preferred for larger areas or repeat procedures.
Before the procedure, our surgeon will:
Review your medical history and medications
Recommend stopping blood thinners and NSAIDs one week prior
Order blood tests if needed
Mark the target areas for treatment
At GLOJAS Plastic Surgery Specialist Clinic, liposuction can be performed in our fully equipped clinic for smaller areas or at a hospital for larger-volume fat removal procedure. Patients are advised to have a companion for safe post-procedure care
Depending on the extent of surgery, liposuction may use:
Local or regional anesthesia (you remain awake but numb)
General anesthesia (you are asleep during the procedure)
The procedure typically lasts 1–3 hours. Throughout, the medical team monitors your heart rate, oxygen level, and blood pressure.
Following surgery, expect mild to moderate pain, bruising, and swelling. Your surgeon may prescribe:
Pain relief medications
Antibiotics to prevent infection
Small drains may be inserted temporarily to remove excess fluid. Patients typically wear compression garments for several weeks to minimize swelling and help the skin adapt to new contours.
Back to work: 3–7 days (depending on extent)
Resume light activity: 2–3 weeks
Final results visible: after 3–6 months
During this time, swelling gradually subsides, and the body achieves a smoother, more defined contour.
Like all surgical procedures, liposuction carries some risks. These may include:
Contour irregularities – uneven fat removal leading to wavy skin
Fluid buildup (seroma) – may need draining
Temporary or permanent numbness
Infection (rare but serious)
Internal organ puncture (extremely rare)
Fat embolism – fat particles entering the bloodstream (medical emergency)
Heart, lung, or kidney stress from fluid shifts
Lidocaine toxicity – a rare reaction to anesthesia fluid
Your surgeon will explain how these risks relate to your specific condition before surgery.
Patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, and mild discomfort. Scarring, though minimal, may occur but usually fades over time.
It removes stubborn fat pockets to sculpt smoother, more defined body lines, improving proportions in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and chin.
Removed fat cells do not return. With a stable weight, it offers long-term, lasting body contour improvements and naturally enhanced definition.
Fat removal surgery helps patients feel more confident in their appearance, improving comfort in clothing and overall emotional well-being through enhanced body proportions.
It targets localized fat in problem zones—like love handles, double chin, and inner thighs—for precise contouring and a more balanced, natural body shape.
It can complement other surgeries, including tummy tuck, breast reduction, or gynecomastia correction, to achieve more harmonious and refined overall results.
By removing excess fat, this procedure can reduce strain on joints, support mobility, and contribute to better metabolic balance and overall body health.
Liposuction cost in Malaysia ranges from RM5,000 to RM32,000, depending on factors such as treatment area size, chosen technique (traditional, tumescent, or VASER), surgeon’s expertise, anesthesia used, and overall clinic reputation and facility standards.
| Treatment Area | Estimated Price (RM) |
|---|---|
| Chin & Neck | RM 5,000 – RM 8,000 |
| Upper Arms | RM 6,000 – RM 9,000 |
| Abdomen | RM 10,000 – RM 18,000 |

Swelling typically improves within a few weeks, revealing noticeable changes in contour. Full results may take several months once all swelling resolves.
If you maintain a consistent weight, liposuction results are generally long-lasting. However, future weight gain can cause fat to return in other body areas.
