There are 1,525,197 cases of Liposuction performed in the US alone on 2021 with an increase of 70% of cases compared to 5 years ago. WHY IS THIS SO?
Liposuction is getting more popular in Malaysia as well as other countries due to the the increase in self-awareness to stay healthy and looks good, especially with the advent of social media. This trend is similar to other procedures such as Bhlepharoplasty, Otoplasty, Breast Augmentation, Abdominoplasty, Hair Transplantation and many other cosmetic Plastic Surgery operations.
Nowadays we have a lot of different methods to do liposuction such VASER Liposuction, LASER Lipolysis and Waterjet Liposuction.
Truly, this plastic surgery procedure has evolved much since it was first introduced nearly a century ago. Liposuction can be performed alone or in combination with other Cosmetic Surgery procedures such as Abdominoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Bhlepharoplasty, Buccal Fat Removal or Silicone Breast Augmentation.
The cost of Liposuction Surgery Malaysia is dependant on a few factors such as
1) Whether it is done in a hospital or a small clinic setup?
2) Whether the procedure is under general anaesthesia or local anesthesia?
3) Will there be a few days of hospital stay or just as a daycare procedure?
4) Which areas of the body that is going to be treated?
5) Will it be combined with another procedure?

The fatty tissue at this area too is different from those in other parts of the body such as the abdomen, as they are finer and less dense.
