Liposuction Surgery
Localized Liposuction: Targeted Fat Removal for a Beautiful
Safe Figure by DCH Hospital
In an era where body care is crucial, many people wonder, “Where is the best place to get liposuction?” Liposuction surgery, along with skin tightening, has become one of the most popular options for those looking to improve their body shape quickly and safely. Dr. CHEN Surgery Hospital International Center utilizes specialized techniques, experienced medical teams, and advanced technologies to meet the needs of its patients.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, or hips, to achieve a more proportionate figure. This technique has been developed to be safer and more effective, particularly with technologies like VASER Lipo and BodyTite, which allow for detailed fat removal while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and helping to tighten the skin for a smooth finish.
The Purpose of Liposuction: Not for Weight Loss
Liposuction is often misunderstood as a weight loss procedure. In reality, it is meant to “reduce fat and reshape proportions,” not directly decrease body weight. After undergoing liposuction, individuals may see a weight reduction of just 1-5 kilograms since fat has a lower density than muscle, meaning its removal doesn’t significantly impact overall body weight. The key result is a more toned and proportionate body.

Liposuction Targets Specific Body Areas
- Abdomen: To address excess fat that cannot be reduced through exercise alone.
- Thighs: For those struggling with fat accumulation that leads to chafing.
- Arms: To reduce flabby upper arms.
- Hips: To eliminate fat bulges, particularly in the hip area.
- Face: To enhance facial features by removing fat from areas like the chin, cheeks, or jawline.
Who Should Avoid Liposuction?
- Individuals with chronic health conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, or those prone to excessive bleeding.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, who should wait until they are fully recovered.
- People whose expectations of liposuction are not aligned with the results; if large-scale weight loss is desired, alternative methods should be considered.
What Body Areas Can Benefit from Liposuction?
Liposuction is particularly effective for areas that accumulate stubborn fat, which is hard to remove through traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise.
Areas Popular for Spot Fat Reduction
These procedures are suitable for individuals with fat accumulation in areas that are hard to reduce. The most common areas include:
Liposuction on the Abdomen
Liposuction on the abdomen is a surgical procedure to remove excess fat from the stomach area. The doctor uses a tool to suction fat beneath the skin, resulting in a flatter stomach. This procedure is ideal for those with a protruding or sagging abdomen or excessive fat accumulation that cannot be reduced by exercise or diet alone.
Liposuction on the Thighs
Liposuction on the thighs is often difficult even with diet and exercise. Fat around the thighs can cause the legs to rub together while walking, leading to darkened skin in the area. Liposuction can help slim down the thighs, giving them a more toned appearance.
Liposuction on the Upper Arms
Liposuction on the upper arms is a popular choice because the arms are easily visible on the body. If not properly maintained with exercise, the upper arms may become saggy. Liposuction helps reduce the arm size and makes the arms appear more toned and slender.
Liposuction on the Hips
Liposuction on the hips targets excess fat around the hip area. It is especially popular among women who have significant fat accumulation. This fat can cause clothes to fit poorly and create an unflattering bulge. Without proper care, the hips can continue to expand, so regular exercise combined with liposuction can help maintain a desirable shape.
Liposuction on the Face
Liposuction on the face is focused on reshaping the face by removing excess fat from areas like the chin, cheeks, and jawline. This procedure can enhance the facial structure, making the face appear slimmer and more defined, improving overall facial symmetry.
Liposuction on the Neck (Double Chin)
Liposuction on the neck targets excess fat under the chin and around the neck, helping to define the jawline and make the face appear slimmer. The procedure uses special tools to remove fat cells beneath the skin, resulting in a more contoured and youthful appearance.
For individuals seeking weight loss, it is essential to focus on lifestyle changes, including diet control and regular exercise. Choosing a safe and certified liposuction procedure is key. DCH Hospital provides modern technology and expert medical teams to ensure safe, effective results tailored to your needs.
Benefits and Risks of Liposuction
- Shape Adjustment: Liposuction helps improve body shape by removing excess fat from areas that can't be reduced with exercise, such as the abdomen, waist, and thighs, making the body look more proportionate.
- Increased Confidence: A more beautiful body shape boosts personal confidence and enhances one's overall appearance.
- Physical Health Benefits: In some cases, such as excessive fat accumulation that presses on internal organs, liposuction can help relieve these issues.
Risks and Side Effects of Liposuction:
- Complications: Risks include infection and bleeding.
- Uneven Skin: After liposuction, there may be skin indentations, waves, or uneven surfaces.
- Swelling and Bruising: These are common post-surgery symptoms, but in some cases, swelling and bruising can be more severe and take longer to heal.
- Numbness: There may be temporary or permanent numbness in the area where liposuction was performed.
How Body-Jet Works?
Body-Jet is a technology that uses water pressure to gently remove excess fat. Liposuction is a popular method to address issues like sagging skin or fat that can’t be reduced by diet and exercise. Body-Jet technology is becoming increasingly popular in Thailand due to its effectiveness and safety, using water jets to remove fat efficiently.
Body-Jet works by spraying water in a fan-like shape to separate fat cells from connective tissues, nerves, and blood vessels, minimizing damage. This results in a smooth and gentle fat removal process, reducing risks of injury or side effects. Additionally, the fat removed is of high quality and can be used for fat transfer to other areas of the body, such as the face, hands, chest, or hips. Autologous fat transfer helps rejuvenate areas naturally, without harm, and provides long-lasting results.
Why Body-Jet is Better Than Other Liposuction Methods?
Water Jet Liposuction
Uses gentle water pressure, unlike traditional liposuction that involves more aggressive suction or instruments, reducing the trauma to the body.
Less Blood Loss
Only about 1-2% of blood loss occurs, which helps minimize swelling and bruising, allowing for faster recovery and less pain during the procedure.
Closed System
The fat removed does not come in contact with the air, ensuring higher survival rates of fat cells and reducing the risk of infection.
Targeted Fat Removal
Fat can be removed from various areas of the body, including the neck, chest, waist, hips, legs, arms, and calves, without causing swelling, bruising, or pain, leaving the skin smooth and even.
Recovery After Body-Jet Liposuction
Recovery time is minimal. Many patients can return to their daily activities the same day. The time it takes for full recovery depends on various factors, including the amount of fat removed and the treatment areas. However, with Body-Jet’s innovative technology, the impact on the body is minimal, so recovery time is usually quick.
Results are noticeable immediately, with more pronounced contours visible after about one month.
Safety
- No damage to blood vessels, nerves, or surrounding tissues.
- Reduces the risk of injury and infection.
- No need for general anesthesia.
What is the BodyTite Machine?
BodyTite is a liposuction device that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to liquefy fat, making the molecules smaller and safer for use. It is widely used because RF energy also stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer skin. This technology can be used to remove fat from various areas, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, arms, neck, and chest. It minimizes damage to blood vessels, nerves, and surrounding tissues, providing the best fat removal results with smooth, natural contours.
BodyTite Pro Machine Features
The BodyTite Pro machine is designed to “tighten the skin and break down excess fat.” The handpiece has two heads, one on top and one at the bottom. The machine works by sending bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy to both heads. The RF energy creates heat between 40-60°C, with the lower head, which is inserted under the skin, having higher temperature than the upper head. This allows fat to be broken down and can also adjust the depth based on the thickness of the fat layer.
Skin Tightening
BodyTite Pro releases RF energy to sagging skin, causing new alignment and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Additionally, the heat from RF causes the fibers and collagen to contract and tighten, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Fat Breakdown
The heat from RF energy, ranging from 40-60°C, is transmitted to the blunt-tipped needle (the lower head) inserted under the skin, helping to break down excess fat and improve the adhesion of the fibro septal network (FSN), which holds the skin together. This leads to a reduction in the size of the treated area.
How is BodyTite Pro Better than Traditional Liposuction?
As we age or gain weight, skin elasticity decreases. Traditional liposuction can cause uneven skin texture, sagging, or stretch marks. In contrast, BodyTite uses RF waves to tighten the skin, reducing the likelihood of post-procedure sagging. It is a safer, gentler, and less traumatic method that yields more satisfactory results with minimal pain and bruising.

- No scarring after treatment.
- Affordable.
- Visible changes in results.
- Targets hard-to-reach small areas.
