Am I a good candidate?
Ideal candidates are non-smoker and healthy individuals with a relatively normal weight but who have pockets of excess fat in some areas of their bodies. They should also have good skin elasticity to avoid ending up with sagging skin in the areas where liposuction is performed.

How is it done?
Over the years, several techniques have contributed in turning liposuction into one of the least invasive and most effective cosmetic surgeries.
Read MoreHow long is the recovery?
Mild swelling and bruising are natural effects following a liposuction. Special bandages are used on the treated area to help minimize these effects and help the skin adjust to the new body contour.
Usually, patients can resume work and daily activities within few days, depending on the amount of body areas treated. However they should refrain from excessively tiring activities for at least two weeks.
Where is the procedure performed?
Liposuction procedures are performed in Lebanon. Consultations take place in Beirut, where each patient’s case is evaluated and the most appropriate surgical approach is discussed.
FAQS
Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is designed to remove localized fat deposits and contour the body, not to replace weight loss.
Are the results of liposuction permanent?
Removed fat cells do not return, but weight gain can affect remaining fat cells. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important.
How long is the recovery after liposuction?
Most patients return to work within a few days. Swelling gradually decreases over several weeks.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are very small and usually placed in discreet areas, making scars minimal
