Precision Liposuction in Bangkok to Remove Excess Fat Safely

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. It’s one of the most popular body contouring surgeries worldwide, involving the suction of excess fat through small incisions.
Modern techniques, such as those used at Rattinan, offer a minimally invasive approach with faster recovery and smoother results.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but a method to reshape and contour specific areas of the body for a more proportionate and refined silhouette.

Liposuction can be performed as an outpatient procedure or may require overnight stay, depending on the extent of fat removal and the patient’s overall health condition.

The procedure typically lasts between 1 to 4 hours, depending on the number of areas treated and the volume of fat removed.

The procedure can be performed under:

• Local anesthesia (for small areas)

• Sedation

• General anesthesia (for multiple or larger areas)

The choice depends on the complexity of the procedure and patient preference.

Liposuction is suitable for individuals who:

• Are close to their ideal weight but have localized fat deposits

• Have firm, elastic skin for optimal tightening post-surgery

• Are in good general health without serious medical conditions

• Maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle

• Have realistic expectations about the results

• Do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking before and after the procedure

If you’re struggling with areas of fat that persist despite diet and exercise, liposuction may be the right solution for you.

Traditional Liposuction vs. 360 Liposculpture

• Traditional Liposuction: Focuses on localized fat removal but doesn’t sculpt the body comprehensively.

• 360 Liposculpture: Provides a full-body sculpting approach, ensuring a harmonious, well-defined physique by treating the abdomen, waistline, back, and flanks together.

• Individuals looking for full-body contouring rather than isolated fat removal.

• Patients who are near their goal weight but struggle with stubborn fat pockets.

• Those seeking muscle definition, a more sculpted look, or waistline reduction.

BodyTite 360 uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to remove stubborn fat and tighten skin at the same time. It melts fat before removal, while the heat stimulates collagen production, helping the skin contract and firm up naturally.

Best for These Areas

• Abdomen: Flattens and firms the stomach
• Love Handles: Sculpts a slimmer waist
• Back Fat: Smooths bra bulges and contours the back

Result: 360-degree fat reduction with skin tightening in one treatment—less sagging, more definition, and minimal downtime.

• Compression Garments
  Wear compression garments 24 hours a day for the first 3 days, followed by 12 hours daily for 1 to 3 months to support healing and reduce swelling.
• Bathing and Dizziness Precautions
  Avoid bathing on the first day post-surgery, and do not remove the compression garment alone initially, as dizziness or fainting may occur.
• Follow-up Care
  Attend a wound dressing appointment the day after surgery. Wounds should be cleaned every other day, and stitches are typically removed around 7 days post-procedure.
• Massage for Seroma Prevention
  After stitch removal, manual massage of the treated areas is recommended to reduce the risk of seroma formation. Use of a massage machine can begin after 2 weeks.
• Exercise Guidelines
  Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery to prevent blood clots. Light exercise can begin after 2 weeks, while vigorous activities can resume after about 1 month.
• Dietary Guidelines
  Stay hydrated by drinking at least 1-2 liters of water on the day of surgery. Avoid alcohol, smoking, fermented foods, and raw or semi-raw foods until stitches are removed. Focus on high-protein foods and limit starchy and salty foods containing high sodium for at least 2 weeks to aid healing and reduce swelling.
• Pain Management
  Mild pain, bruising, and swelling are normal and can be managed with prescribed medications.

Like any surgical procedure, liposuction carries some risks:

• Infection
  
• Bleeding or haematoma
  
• Irregular skin contours or asymmetry
  
• Scarring
  
• Fluid accumulation (seroma)
  
• Changes in skin sensation (temporary or permanent)
  
• Fat embolism (rare but serious)
  
• Adverse reactions to anaesthesia

• Results are typically long-lasting if a stable weight is maintained.
  
• Treated areas appear slimmer and more contoured.
  
• Some skin tightening may occur, but liposuction does not address significant skin laxity.
  

Final results may take 3–6 months to fully develop as swelling subsides.

• Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)
  
• Thigh lift
  
• Arm lift (Brachioplasty)
  
• Neck liposuction
  
• Body contouring after weight loss
