Everything you'll need to know about Liposuction in Malaysia

What is the cost of Liposuction in Malaysia?

When you're thinking about liposuction in Malaysia, one of the first things you probably wonder about is the cost. Here's the thing: the price isn't the same for everyone. It hinges on a few details like how many parts of your body you’re getting treated, how complex the treatment is, and the professional fee of your doctor. Costs for anaesthesia and the use of the surgical facility are also added to the bill. It's vital to remember, too, that because liposuction is often carried out for aesthetic reasons, normal health insurance might not cover it.

Can Liposuction be used as a weight-loss method?

Unwanted fats are very hard to get rid of especially if you are not a fan of exercise or diet. Liposuction, also known as Lipoplasty, liposculpture suction, lipectomy or simply lipo, basically eliminates unwanted fats by suctioning it away. Despite the growing trend of non-invasive fat reduction treatments, liposuction is still the leading procedure to remove stubborn fat cells.

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells and enhances the shape of your body. A plastic or dermatologic surgeon usually performs this type of procedure on the patient’s belly, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, back or face to improve their shape. Furthermore, liposuction can be done together with other plastic surgeries such as facelifts, breast reductions, and tummy tucks.

This treatment procedure is particularly used for aesthetics, mainly to improve a person’s appearance. In most cases, maintaining and achieving such positive results will depend on your lifestyle.

What does a Liposuction Procedure Involve?

Before you have the treatment, a series of tests are required to ensure if you are fit for the surgery. You will also need to sign a consent form to confirm that you are fully aware of the risks, benefits and possible alternatives to the procedure.

You will likely be put under using general anesthesia, which can last for 1 to 4 hours. An epidural can also be used for procedures on the lower part of the body, although this is becoming increasingly unpopular now. Alternatively, you may be given local anesthesia if the procedure will be on small areas of your body. You may be asked to stand up during the procedure to ensure proper fat removal, but you will not feel any pain.

Tiny incisions will be made in the areas of interest through which a cannula can fit. This thin tube-like device is connected to a vacuum, capable of suctioning the fat from within your body. There are a few common techniques used, including Laser-Assisted or SmartLipo, UAL (Ultrasound-Assisted Lipo) or the most popular technique, Tumescent Lipo - this involves the pre-injection of a saline solution to help separate the fat from the blood, so less blood is removed. You'll discuss the best option with your surgeon before confirming what type of Liposuction is best for you.

How Long Should I Stay in Malaysia for a Liposuction Procedure?

Generally, patients who have received general anesthesia will be required to spend the night in the hospital (in-patient). Patients, who have had local anesthesia, may be able to leave the hospital on the same day.

After the operation, you will have to wear support bandages (support corset, bandages or elasticated support) whilst healing. Expect some pain, swelling and bruising during the following days and weeks. Your surgeon will prescribe medication to help control your pain and antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. Furthermore, your stitches may be removed during your follow-up appointment with your surgeon. You should expect to stay in Malaysia for about a week post-op to allow for the initial recovery and check-up appointments, which will include the removal of stitches.

What's the Recovery Time for Liposuction Procedures?

Numbness in the specific area of your body where the fat was removed is to be expected for the first couple of weeks, usually, this will improve after 6 to 8 weeks. You may also need to wait a few days before going back to work. As for your normal activities, especially exercise, you may have to wait a few weeks before resuming.  

Overall, the recovery time may vary from patient to patient. In most cases, patients can return to light activities within 2 to 3 days and are also able to go back to work after two weeks. As for the results, you may see visible results after 3 to 4 weeks, however, it can take several months before you see the final outcome.

What sort of Aftercare is Required for Liposuction Procedures in Malaysia?

Just like any other cosmetic surgery, following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions is vital in achieving and maintaining the best results. If the procedure was done above your waistline, you may be advised to sleep propped on pillows to have elevation on the specific area. This helps drain the fluids and prevent them from pooling. Furthermore, applying cold compress on a certain area where the procedure was performed is highly recommended, this will reduce inflammation and bruising especially during the first few days.

What's the Success Rate of Liposuction Procedures in Malaysia?

Liposuction remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries with a success rate of 85%, offering patients the enhanced body shape they've been craving. However, just like any other surgeries, it also comes with possible risks. Complications vary and are dependent on the procedure is as well as your surgeon’s skills. Possible risks and complications include:

  • Severe bruising
  • Inflammation
  • Blood clot forms in veins, causing inflammation and complications (Thrombophlebitis)
  • Kidney or Heart problems - changes in the body's fluid levels during the procedure may cause kidney or heart problems.
  • Pulmonary embolism - when fat gets into your blood vessels and travels to your lungs, eventually, blocking your lungs.

Are there Alternatives to Liposuction Procedures in Malaysia?

CoolSculpting – is a fat freezing liposuction alternative. This is more suited to people who are close to their target weight but still have unwanted pockets of fat. Coolsculpting is a fat-freezing procedure that crystalizes your fat cells until they break apart painlessly.

Ultrashape - a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require the need for anesthesia. This treatment procedure will make use of a body sculpting device that vaporizes fat cells within the targeted area with waves of ultrasound energy. Fat cells are permanently flushed out of your body, giving you a more natural-looking fat loss.   

How does Liposuction differ from CoolSculpting and Vaser liposuction in terms of technique?

Liposuction vs Vaser Liposuction

Like traditional liposuction, the purpose of Vaser liposuction is to change the contours and shape of the body by removing persistent fat deposits. The word Vaser is actually an acronym for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. This specialized ultrasound technology breaks down the fatty tissues using ultrasonic frequency waves, which is why it's often referred to as Ultrasonic Liposuction or Ultrasound Liposuction.

Liposuction vs CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is the new non-invasive, freezing method used to also change the body contours and shape, however, this method does not require the use of a cannula so there is no damage to the overlying skin. Instead, it involves the controlled application of cooling localized fat deposits, which are then expelled from the body through the kidneys.

How safe is Liposuction in Malaysia?

Liposuction, when performed in Malaysia by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, is generally considered safe. The procedure has evolved significantly since its introduction, with advancements in technology and techniques contributing to its safety profile. Most liposuction procedures are performed without major complications, and patient satisfaction rates are high. However, as with any surgery, there is always an inherent risk. 

It's crucial to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon regarding the safety of the procedure. The surgeon should be open about potential risks and complications, and explain how they would handle them should they arise. Factors such as your overall health, medical history and the area or the amount of fat being removed can influence the risks associated with liposuction.

What Should You Expect Before and After a Liposuction?

After your surgery, expect some swelling and discolouration in the areas where the fat was removed. To assist in healing and lessen swelling, you'll be given a snug garment to don. It is advisable to arrange for someone to take you home after the surgery and be with you for the initial day after the procedure. Though some changes will be noticeable soon after the surgery, the best results will take shape once the swelling has fully dissipated, which usually takes around 3-6 months. Regular check-ins with your surgeon are vital to ensure your recovery is progressing as expected. 

As the wise saying goes, "Your waistline is your lifeline." Liposuction does remove fat cells for good, but weight gain post-procedure can cause the leftover fat cells to grow, potentially in different areas of your body. Therefore, a balanced diet and regular exercise are crucial for maintaining your new silhouette.

How Can I Prepare for Liposuction in Malaysia?

Prepping for a liposuction surgery in Malaysia? You've got this! Here are some absolutely essential steps you should follow for a smooth and successful procedure:

  • Consultation: First things first. Have an in-depth consultation with your plastic surgeon. They'll assess your health status and discuss your goals. Taking this information into account, they'll provide some key instructions for you leading up to the surgery day.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: In preparation for the procedure, it's of utmost importance to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Get in regular exercise. Eat balanced meals. Hydrate frequently. If you smoke, now is the time to quit. And hold off on alcohol. Your body will be on the fast track to healing, thanks to these healthy habits.
  • Follow Instructions: Your surgeon will give you a set of preoperative instructions. Avoiding certain medications or supplements might be on the list. Stick to these guidelines religiously.
  • Support Person: And lastly, on surgery day, make sure to have a trusted friend or relative by your side. Once the procedure is completed, you'll need a safe ride back home.

Whilst the information presented here has been accurately sourced and verified by a medical professional for its accuracy, it is still advised to consult with your doctor before pursuing a medical treatment at one of the listed medical providers
