How it Works

Our surgeons make small incisions and employ specialized instruments in the treatment areas. Utilizing modern ultrasound technology, they break apart and disengage fat cells. A micro-cannula is then used to remove targeted tissues without causing harm. Unharmed fat tissue can be utilized for natural fat transfer to enhance areas where additional volume is desired.

For Women

For women seeking to eliminate unwanted fat in specific areas, our advanced liposuction technique can assist in achieving a more precise contour of your feminine figure. It enhances your curves, defines your waistline, and reshapes your buttocks. Moreover, you can consult with your Athēnix surgeon about fat transfer methods to create a naturally flattering silhouette.

For Men

Liposuction enhances the male physique by emphasizing muscle definition and sculpting. Removing excess fat from areas like the abdomen and flanks produces a more defined and masculine appearance. Inquire with your surgeon about utilizing fat transfer to enhance your chest proportions or augment your shoulders.

Power-assisted Lipo

Power-assisted liposuction, or PAL, includes making a small incision in the targeted area for fat removal. A specialized cannula is inserted, rapidly vibrating and breaking up the fat tissues. Subsequently, the disintegrated fat is suctioned out using a vacuum.

Your Recovery Process

You can anticipate minimal swelling following liposuction thanks to innovative, less-invasive techniques. In fact, you might notice visible results as soon as the day after the treatment. During the initial days of recovery, it's crucial to prioritize rest, although you can gradually reintroduce light to moderate activities. Most patients find that over-the-counter pain medication effectively manages discomfort, but your surgeon may propose alternative solutions. The recovery duration varies from person to person, yet most patients can typically return to work within a few days.

Chiseled Results

Our artistically chiseled results are visible in our before and after photos, eloquently showcasing their aesthetic appeal. Yet, the influence of our procedures reaches much deeper than mere appearances, profoundly impacting emotional confidence and self-image. After removing stubborn fat, patients frequently encounter a renewed sense of self and increased satisfaction with their appearance. This newfound confidence can translate into a more gratifying shopping experience for new clothes and inspire a fresh lifestyle.

Follow Up with Your Lipo Surgeon.

Our team advises scheduling a follow-up visit the day after your procedure and another within 4-6 weeks to assess your results and address additional questions. While you will notice a slimmer physique immediately, your results will continue to enhance daily, with the best outcomes becoming apparent after a few months. If you're planning a vacation and wish to be swimsuit-ready, allowing 4-6 weeks after liposuction is recommended. If you're contemplating a touch-up or considering additional liposuction in another area, it's advisable to wait at least six months.
