Liposuction or Liposculpture is a surgical technique that contours your body by removing excess fat deposits between the skin and muscle. It is not a weight loss surgery – think of it as a body contouring or body sculpting procedure. Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Michael Kernohan is a highly experienced plastic surgeon and performs liposuction in Sydney Southwest Suburbs and the Southern Highlands NSW.

Liposuction – Patient 11
This patient underwent abdominoplasty with repair of separated core muscles, combined with some liposuction to adjust the flanks and contours of the abdomen. Bilateral Breast Mastopexy(uplift) was also performed using the “lollipop” or “vertical scar” style incisions avoiding the long incision across the crease under the breasts. This is called the “Hall-Findlay” technique after a famous Canadian female surgeon. It offers natural shape, elevation of the base of the breast and less scarring. It is not suitable for every patient.
