Body Contouring

Why Body Contouring?

Liposuction Body Contouring is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgery procedures. This technique sculpts the body by removing unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, neck, and upper arms that have resisted diet and exercise. In certain cases, the fat removed during liposuction can be transferred to other body areas that need contouring or filling, such as deep facial wrinkles, thin lips, deflated breasts, or buttocks. Whether you’re striving to reclaim your pre-baby body after childbirth or simply wish to enhance the aesthetic distribution of your natural body fat, Dr. Nadia Afridi offers customized body contouring solutions.

Areas for Liposuction

Liposuction is a versatile procedure that can target various parts of the body to remove excess fat and contour specific areas. Common areas where liposuction is performed include:

  1. Abdomen: One of the most frequently treated areas, liposuction can help achieve a flatter and more toned stomach by removing stubborn fat deposits.
  2. Arms: Liposuction can be used to slim and contour the upper arms, particularly in the areas where fat tends to accumulate and create a “bat wing” appearance.
  3. Thighs: Both the inner and outer thighs can benefit from liposuction, helping to create a smoother, more proportionate appearance.
  4. Calves: Liposuction in the calf area can enhance the definition and shape of the legs, providing a more toned look.
  5. Chin: Often referred to as submental liposuction, this procedure targets the area under the chin to reduce the appearance of a double chin and improve the jawline.
  6. Axillary Breast Tissue: This refers to the removal of excess fat in the underarm area, which can create a more streamlined and balanced look.


Liposuction can be tailored to address individual concerns and achieve a more sculpted and harmonious body contour.

There are different types of liposuction, and once you have a better understanding of what they are, you will know what to expect. The Liposuction Procedure begins with the injection of a solution composed of saline (salt water), a local anesthetic called lidocaine, and a small amount of adrenaline to decrease bruising and bleeding. This is known as either tumescent liposuction or the super-wet technique, depending on the ratio of the fluid to the fatty tissue being removed.

  • Suction-Assisted Lipectomy (SAL): In this Liposuction Technique, a cannula (small tube) is inserted and moved back and forth beneath the skin, breaking up the fat layer and suctioning it out.
  • Power-Assisted Lipectomy (PAL): In PAL, a powered handpiece vibrates to break up fat cells, making it easier to grab all the targeted fat cells.
