Liposuction at Siam Clinic Phuket is a targeted body-contouring procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas such as the abdomen, waist, or chin. Unlike full-body slimming treatments, liposuction focuses on refining shape and enhancing proportions, offering a more sculpted and confident appearance.
Liposuction removes fat using a cannula inserted beneath the skin to suction out localized fat deposits. It is intended for contouring—not overall weight loss—and helps achieve a more defined silhouette in areas resistant to diet or exercise.

Liposuction can be performed safely on selected zones, including:
Abdomen

The standard tumescent technique involves:
Injecting anesthetic solution into the fat layer
Using a cannula to remove fat
Wearing compression garments to support healing
Review current medications with the doctor
Inform the clinic of medical conditions
Follow fasting instructions before surgery
Avoid smoking to support recovery
Expect swelling and bruising for 2–4 weeks
Delay bathing for 24 hours and ensure proper wound protection
Wear compression garments for the first month

Common temporary effects include swelling, bruising, numbness, and mild scarring. Uneven contours or rare complications may occur. Most individuals return to work within a few days and resume full activities in approximately 2 weeks.
