My Cosmetic Clinic offers liposuction consultations in Sydney for individuals seeking medically guided information about liposuction. Our Sydney clinics support patients from the Hills district, Northern Beaches, North Shore and Eastern suburbs, who are exploring whether liposuction may be appropriate for their individual concerns.
To know whether you’re eligible for the procedure, a consultation is needed to provide an opportunity to discuss your goals, medical history, and areas of concern, in a calm and clinical setting. It also allows our medical team to explain the procedure, recovery considerations, potential risks, and alternative options where appropriate.
As with all cosmetic surgery, individual suitability can only be determined following a personalised medical assessment.
that have not responded to lifestyle measures such as diet and exercise. It works by using a cannula (a small tube) to gently remove fat from targeted areas beneath the skin.
Important reminders for patients who are considering getting a liposuction procedure:
During your liposuction consultation in Sydney, the practitioner will carefully assess your anatomy and discuss your goals. They will then explain whether liposuction, an alternative surgical procedure, or a non-surgical treatment would be the most suitable option for you.
When performed by a qualified practitioner, liposuction may offer the following:
Note: All surgical procedures carry risks, and results vary depending on individual anatomy, health, and recovery. These aspects will be discussed during your thorough one-on-one consultation with our qualified practitioners. A comprehensive estimate will be provided following a detailed consultation tailored to your individual needs. Please note that fees may vary depending on procedure complexity and any additional services required.
While there are a few different liposuction procedures available, My Cosmetic Clinic utilises one technique to do the procedure. This is the Tumescent Liposuction.
Tumescent liposuction is a widely used technique that involves administering a specialised fluid into the targeted area prior to fat removal. This solution typically contains a mixture of saline, a local anaesthetic (such as lidocaine), and a vasoconstrictor (such as epinephrine).
The fluid serves several purposes:
This method is often used in various areas of the body where localised fat deposits have not responded to lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. Tumescent liposuction is typically performed as a day procedure under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the area treated and the volume of fat to be removed.
As with any surgical procedure, suitability varies from person to person. A consultation with a qualified medical practitioner is required to assess your individual circumstances, discuss potential risks and outcomes, and determine whether this type of liposuction is appropriate for you.
Liposuction consultations in our Sydney clinics may include, but not limited to, discussion of the following areas:
Abdomen
This area is often discussed for individuals concerned about localised abdominal fat that remains despite stable weight.
Flanks
Sometimes referred to as “love handles,” this area may be assessed where contour balance is a concern.
Hips
The hip area may be assessed where localised fat contributes to disproportion between the waist and upper thigh.
Lower Back
Fat deposits in the lower back area may be considered where fullness affects contour through the waistline.
Thighs
Both inner and outer thighs may be assessed depending on fat distribution and skin quality.
Knees
Fat deposits around the knee area may be assessed where localised fullness affects the contour between the thigh and lower leg.
Arms
The upper arm area may be assessed for localised fat where skin elasticity is adequate.
Chin / Neck
Submental (under-chin) fat may be assessed in selected cases where excess fat contributes to fullness.
Male Chest (Gynaecomastia)
For men with gynaecomastia, the chest area may be assessed where excess fatty tissue contributes to increased fullness.
Female Chest (Pre-axillary / Upper Breast Area)
This area may be assessed in women where localised fatty tissue is present near the upper breast or pre-axillary region.
Not all areas are suitable for all individuals. Suitability depends on skin quality, anatomy, overall health, and realistic expectations.

Most of these are usually temporary and may subside after a few days or weeks, as you completely recover from your procedure. Your practitioner will provide tailored aftercare guidance during your consultation.
As mentioned, recovery timelines differ between individuals, and healing should never be rushed.
GP referral required prior to consultation.
In-person consultation with a doctor, followed by a mandatory cooling-off period.
Pre-operative assessment and scheduling following approval.
Procedure performed with post-operative care provided.

No. Suitability depends on health, anatomy, skin quality, and individual goals. A consultation is required to assess this.
Recovery varies. Many people resume light activities within days, but full recovery can take weeks.
Liposuction removes fat, not excess skin. Additional procedures may be discussed if skin laxity is significant.
Fat cells removed do not typically return, but weight changes can affect results over time.
