What you need to know about Micro Lipo (Small Volume Liposuction)
Micro Lipo is a fat removal and body shaping procedure designed to remove unwanted excess fat by using microcannulas.
Micro Lipo available at Avenue Aesthetic Surgery is performed by our experienced liposuction surgeons. Micro Lipo is ideal for small pockets of stubborn fat areas such as the hips, thighs, arms, abdomen and chin.

OUR APPROACH TO Your Micro Lipo
Your Micro Lipo procedure is performed under local anaesthetic at our fully equipped, on-site Private Hospital. Local anaesthetic is injected into the fat causing the targeted area to become numb. The fat is then removed using microcannulas. The procedure takes less than an hour and patients can return home shortly after treatment.
Recovery typically involves wearing a compression garment over the areas that have undergone liposuction for 2 weeks. We recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for approximately 2 weeks following surgery. Most of our patients return to relatively normal activity and sedentary work within 3 days.
All surgery carries risks which are important to understand so that you make a well-informed decision. Complications associated with liposuction include skin irregularities such at dints/depressions, asymmetry, poor scarring, excessive loose skin, severe infection, bleeding, seroma formation (accumulation of fluid under the skin), abnormal skin pigmentation, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the legs) and anesthetic complications.
This listing is not all-inclusive and patients may be at risk for additional complications depending on their past medical and surgical history. A thorough discussion will occur during consultation with your surgeon including ways to mitigate risks prior to surgery and steps taken to treat complications should they occur.

Your body shape and contours will continue to improve over several weeks post-operatively as the swelling subsides. The fat cells removed during the procedure will not return, however, it is important to maintain a healthy body weight for ongoing satisfactory results.
