What the procedure involves.
Liposuction in China offers body contouring at 60-70% less than US prices, with techniques including tumescent, VASER (ultrasound-assisted), and water-jet assisted liposuction. Chinese cosmetic surgery centers, particularly in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, use the latest equipment and combine liposuction with fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift or facial fat grafting) for comprehensive body sculpting results.
Step by step.
Body Assessment & Treatment Planning
The surgeon evaluates target areas, discusses realistic expectations, and recommends the appropriate technique. Pre-operative blood work and physical examination ensure surgical fitness.
Liposuction Procedure
Under general or local anesthesia with sedation, tumescent solution is infused into target areas. Small cannulas are used to suction excess fat through tiny incisions. VASER or water-jet techniques may be used for precision.
Recovery & Compression
A compression garment is worn for 4-6 weeks to reduce swelling and support skin retraction. Lymphatic drainage massage may be recommended. Most patients return to light activity within 1 week.
