Safe liposuction
A firmer, more sculpted body through small, discreet incisions
What is liposuction?
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body that do not respond to diet or exercise. It improves body proportion and brings out natural curves without the need for a harsh diet. Dr. Ahmad Dawood uses advanced techniques including VASER, which liquefies fat with ultrasound waves before it is suctioned, reducing bruising and speeding up recovery. The procedure is not a substitute for weight loss — it is a way to sculpt the body and improve the balance between its areas. It is performed through very small incisions, and the final result appears once the swelling subsides within 3-6 months.

Available liposuction techniques
VASER liposuction
Uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells before they are suctioned, offering greater sculpting precision and a faster recovery with less bruising compared with the traditional method.
Traditional (Tumescent) liposuction
Injection of an anaesthetic, vessel-constricting solution followed by fat suction with a thin cannula. A well-established, proven technique suited to medium to large amounts of fat.
High-definition body sculpting (Hi-Def Lipo)
An advanced technique for defining the abdominal and chest muscles in men or precisely sculpting the waist in women. It requires considerable surgical experience and suits near-athletic bodies; the doctor assesses each case individually.
Who is a suitable candidate for liposuction?
A suitable candidate is close to their ideal weight and has stubborn localised fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs or chin. Good skin elasticity is essential, as the skin needs to retract once the fat is removed. The procedure is not a substitute for weight loss, and it is not recommended on its own where there is severe skin laxity. Good general health and stopping smoking are two essential requirements, and the doctor assesses each case individually.
What to expect during and after the procedure
The procedure begins with marking the suction areas on the skin while you are standing. After anaesthesia, a thin cannula is inserted through incisions 3-5 mm long, and the fat is suctioned with steady movements for a smooth, even result. After surgery, a compression garment is worn for 4-6 weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal and begin to fade within two weeks. You can return to office work after 5-7 days and to sport after 4-6 weeks, and the final result appears after 3-6 months, once the swelling has fully subsided.
