Liposuction is a surgical body contouring procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. At Meadowlark Surgical Centre & Cosmetic Clinic, our board-certified Plastic Surgeons, in collaboration with our Cosmetic Nurses and Laser Specialists, offer personalized treatment plans that go beyond fat removal—focusing on proportion, balance, and natural definition.

Liposuction may be performed on the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, neck, buttocks, back, knees, and other areas where fat accumulation disrupts contour. Every procedure is guided by our commitment to precision and seamless continuity of care.

Liposuction is well-suited for healthy adults who:

• Are at or near their ideal weight

• Have isolated areas of unwanted fat

• Maintain good skin elasticity

• Seek body refinement, not weight loss
  

Our collaborative team will assess your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle to determine if liposuction—alone or in combination with another procedure—can deliver the aesthetic outcome you’re seeking.

As with all surgical care at Meadowlark, post-operative recovery includes access to personalized scar care planning, led by our Cosmetic Clinic team.

Liposuction involves the insertion of a small instrument called a cannula through tiny incisions near the treatment area. Dislodged fat is gently suctioned out using a medical vacuum or syringe, allowing for precise sculpting.

• Incisions are minimal (often under ¼ inch)

• Treatment is carefully mapped to preserve symmetry and flow

• May be combined with procedures such as a tummy tuck or breast surgery for comprehensive contouring
  

Our surgeons collaborate with our Cosmetic Team to coordinate recovery, plan scar care interventions, and monitor your post-operative progress.

Most patients return to work within a few days and resume light activity shortly after. A compression garment may be recommended to support healing and help tissues conform to their new shape.

• Swelling and bruising typically resolve in 1–2 weeks

• Final results develop over 3–6 months

• Our Cosmetic Nurses and Laser Specialists offer tailored scar care, including:

  • Medical-grade silicone gels and topical protocols

  • Post-surgical skin strengthening

  • Sciton laser treatments to reduce pigmentation and texture irregularities
    

This integrated approach ensures both the surgical result and your skin’s healing are carefully supported from start to finish.

While liposuction is considered safe and effective, as with any surgery, some risks exist. These may include:

• Temporary or persistent numbness

• Skin irregularities or asymmetry

• Bruising or pigmentation changes

• Infection, bleeding, or anaesthetic reaction
  

At Meadowlark, your surgical plan, recovery, and scar care are developed through a coordinated effort between your Plastic Surgeon and Cosmetic Team, ensuring your outcome is as safe and refined as possible.
