At Prof Chrysis Sofianos Plastic Surgery Johannesburg, we specialise in liposuction, a transformative body contouring procedure that removes excess fat and enhances your natural shape. Whether you’re targeting stubborn fat deposits or sculpting a more defined silhouette, our advanced techniques ensure exceptional, natural-looking results tailored to your unique goals.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, creating a slimmer and more contoured appearance. Despite being highly effective, liposuction is not a weight-loss solution; it is ideal for patients close to their ideal weight who struggle with stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise.
Areas Liposuction Can Treat
- Abdomen and waist
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Hips and flanks
- Upper arms
- Back
- Chin and neck
Modern, Cutting-Edge Liposuction Techniques
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)
At our practice, we use Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL), a cutting-edge technique that enhances precision and efficiency. PAL utilises a mechanised cannula that vibrates gently to break down fat cells, making removal smoother and more effective.
Benefits of PAL:
- Reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Faster recovery with less bruising and swelling.
- Enhanced contouring and symmetry.
High-Definition Liposuction
Modern Compression Garments
Post-operative recovery is crucial to achieving optimal results. We provide state-of-the-art compression garments designed to:
- Minimise swelling and bruising.
- Enhance skin retraction for a smooth contour.
- Support healing for more comfortable recovery.
Our garments are tailored to fit comfortably and ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.

FAQs About Liposuction
1. Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No, liposuction is designed for body contouring, not weight loss. It removes targeted fat deposits to enhance your shape.
2. How long do results last?
With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, liposuction results are long-lasting.
3. Will there be scarring?
Small incisions are placed in discreet locations and typically fade significantly over time.
