Liposuction Malaysia: How to Choose a Liposuction Clinic in Malaysia?
Liposuction in Malaysia |
Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery that removes fat from the human body in an attempt to change its shape. Other similar or closely related jargons include lipoplasty, fat modeling, liposculpture, suction lipectomy, suction-assisted fat removal, lipo etc.
Although information on liposuction is everywhere on the internet, some sites are probably providing piece-meal information and flakey recommendations. While some of the sites do provide the needed information; the methods in which the clinics or the specialists are selected are not explained. It’s also obvious that some of these directories are not aware of the local regulations and aesthetics guidelines in Malaysia that stipulate who, what and where liposuction can be and cannot be done. While you may wish to ignore the guidelines but do bear in mind that the guidelines were designed and developed to protect consumers like you in the first place, whether you are from Malaysia or abroad.
In order to assist you with your online research on liposuction in Malaysia, we have compiled and organised essential information on liposuction in Malaysia accordingly in one place.

Liposuction
Techniques
As techniques
have been refined, many ideas have emerged that have brought liposuction closer
to being safe, easy, less uncomfortable, and effective. The marketing that goes
on makes it hard for the consumer to determine truth from exaggeration however.
Suction-assisted
liposuction
Suction-assisted
liposuction (SAL) is the standard method of liposuction. In this approach, a
small cannula (like a straw) is inserted through a small incision. It is
attached to a vacuum device. The surgeon pushes and pulls it in a forwards and
backwards motion, carefully through the fat layer, breaking up the fat cells
and drawing them out of the body by suction.
Ultrasound-assisted
liposuction
In
ultrasound-assisted or ultrasonic liposuction (UAL), a specialized cannula is
used which transmits ultrasound vibrations within the body. This vibration
bursts the walls of the fat cells, emulsifying the fat (i.e., liquefying it)
and making it easier to suction out. UAL is a good choice for working on more
fibrous areas, like the upper back or male breast area. It takes longer than
traditional liposuction, but not longer than tumescent liposuction. There is
slightly less blood loss. There appears to be slightly more risk of seromas
forming (pockets of fluid) which may have to be drained with a needle.
After
ultrasonic liposuction, it is necessary to perform suction-assisted liposuction
to remove the liquified fat, or to deposit additional fat cells, used in high
definition liposuction, to create more volume where it is needed.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction techniques used in the 1980s and 1990s were
associated with cases of tissue damage, usually from excessive exposure to
ultrasound energy. Third-generation UAL devices address this problem by
using pulsed energy delivery and a specialized probe that allows physicians to
safely remove excess fat.
Power-assisted
liposuction
Power-assisted
liposuction (PAL) uses a specialized cannula with mechanized movement, so that
the surgeon does not need to make as many manual movements. Otherwise it is
similar to traditional SAL.
Twin-cannula
(assisted) liposuction
Twin cannula
(assisted) liposuction (TCAL or TCL) uses a tube-within-a-tube specialized
cannula pair, so that the cannula which aspirates fat, the mechanically
reciprocated inner cannula, does not impact the patient's tissue or the
surgeon's joints with each and every forward stroke. The aspirating inner
cannula reciprocates within the slotted outer cannula to simulate a surgeon's
stroke of up to 5 cm (2 in) rather than merely vibrating 1–2 mm (1/4 in) as
other power assisted devices, removing most of the labor from the procedure.
Superficial or subdermal liposuction is facilitated by the spacing effect of
the outer cannula and the fact that the cannulas do not get hot, eliminating the
potential for friction burns.
External
ultrasound-assisted liposuction
External
ultrasound-assisted liposuction (XUAL) is a type of UAL where the ultrasonic
energy is applied from outside the body, through the skin, making the
specialized cannula of the UAL procedure unnecessary. It was developed because
surgeons found that in some cases, the UAL method caused skin necrosis (death)
and seromas, which are pockets of a pale yellowish fluid from the body,
analogous to hematomas (pockets of red blood cells).
XUAL is a
possible way to avoid such complications by having the ultrasound applied
externally. It can also potentially cause less discomfort for the patient, both
during the procedure and afterwards; decrease blood loss; allow better access
through scar tissue; and treat larger areas. At this time however, it is not
widely used and studies are not conclusive as to its effectiveness .
Water-assisted
liposuction
Water-assisted
liposuction (WAL) uses a thin fan-shaped water beam, which loosens the
structure of the fat tissue, so that it can be removed by a special cannula.
During the liposuction the water is continually added and almost immediately
aspirated via the same cannula. WAL requires less infiltration solution and
produces less immediate edema from the tumescent fluid.
Laser
assisted
A laser is
used to melt the fat in the target area, making it easier to remove. This laser
is administered through a fibre threaded through a microcannula. The premise is
similar to UAL. It is believed that these techniques, such as SmartLipo or
SlimLipo, can also reduce bruising and bleeding, as it also cauterizes to a
certain extent.
Tumescent
technique
Tumescent
liposuction is a technique that provides local anesthesia to large volumes of
subcutaneous fat and thus permits liposuction totally by local anesthesia. In
the past, liposuction surgery required blood transfusions because of
significant blood loss in the liposuction aspirate. The tumescent liposuction
technique eliminates both the need for general anesthesia and intravenous
narcotics and sedatives while minimizing blood loss.
Sutures
Since the
incisions are small, and the amount of fluid that must drain out is large, some
surgeons opt to leave the incisions open, the better to clear the patient's body
of excess fluid. They find that the unimpeded departure of that fluid allows
the incisions to heal more quickly. Others suture them only partially, leaving
space for the fluid to drain out. Others delay suturing until most of
the fluid has drained out, about 1 or 2 days. In any case, while the fluid is
draining, dressings need to be changed often. After one to three days, small
self-adhesive bandages are sufficient. Doctors disagree on the issues of
scarring with not suturing versus resolution of the swelling allowed by leaving
the wounds open to drain fluid.
Liposuction
and tightening / lifting skin
The removal
of quantities of fat from under the skin allows the elastic skin to potentially
retract after SAL. Good examples of this effect are seen after liposuction to
the arms, stomach areas and breasts. The level of skin retraction following
liposuction is affected by the age of the patient, quality of skin, presence of
underlying disease or smoking and the presence of previous skin damage such as
caused by childbirth and surgery. Liposuction techniques such as subdermal
undermining using fine cannulas can stimulate further skin retraction but are
more frequently associated with contour irregularity. While subdermal
undermining may help the skin contract, patients with severe elasticity loss
and heavy stretch marks prior to liposculpture may require removal of redundant
skin by surgical means after liposculpture. Usually this can be performed after
6 months.
Surgical
lifts such as a rhytidectomy (facelift), mastopexy (breast lift),
abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), Lipotuck (combination abdominoplasty and
liposuction), or lower body lift, thigh lift, or buttock lift can be utilized
when sagging skin alone is the issue or after massive weight loss when the
combination of large amounts of skin and shrunken fat cause significant skin
droop.
Large volume
Liposuction (SAL) in combination with other surgery is common but may have
higher complication rates. When done simultaneously, SAL is done minimally in
the areas of the undermined tissues to minimize further insult to the blood
supply, however a new technique in tummytuck surgery involves vigorous
liposuction first before excising the redundant skin.

Cool Lipo on Hips, Thighs and Buttocks - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I knew that my consultation was the same day and that at any stage I could back out. So I went in for my consultation and the doctor had already seen my photos and suggested hips, thighs and buttocks. I have a very small waist and this tends to make my lower half look a lot bigger than what it is. I am a very small build so generally people think why am I doing this but really I just want to be able to fit standard clothing nicely. I will post some before photos so you can see what I mean. I am 5'4" and weighed (before the procedure) 47 kilos...

Back at the gym now. Taking it slowly though. A quick 5km walk every second day on top,of my dog walking I do every day. My measurements are definitely changing and I'm looking a lot better in jeans.

he did in a hospital... around... rm5k... he took out i think 2 LITRES of fluids, fats + blood...
oh and for your information, he is not lazy not willing to do exercise... in fact, he exercises A LOT!! he plays basketball FEW TIMES A DAY... and sweat until everything wet, and VERY SMELLY!! *i usually stay VERY VERY far from him after his basketball session* but his fats still there...
sometimes, I THINK, exercise is NOT the ONLY WAY...
very true about the self esteem part, he used to say that he's ugly with his fats, cant KAO LUI... and dowan to go out because he looked ugly *yes, my brother sounds like a GIRL, super HIAO* so he BUGGED my mom, and now he has got a GF now... not sure it's a good thing or a bad thing though...
my brother is only 18 years old... i think he did his lipo suction last year... 17...
Lipo in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Vaser Liposuction Review
Jul 3, 2011
Jul 3, 2011
Hi guys, I researched and contemplated for about 4 years and now have actually done it!!!Source: https://www.realself.com/review/malaysia-vaser-liposuction-lipo-kl
Thought I'd post this for those of you like me. I am an Australia who has come up to KL to see a world renowned surgeon with expertise in this field.
For years I attended cycle classes and body pump - in fact at stages I have been an exercise addict. If I couldn't make the gym it was close to the world ending. Despite this, and costly personal trainers,I could not achieve the results I wanted and rid the line of fat on my inner thigh, saddlebags on the outer and back of hips. In fact exercise just developed the muscle underneath, making the fat pocket pop out more. Diet made my face look haggard and achieved comments of concern from others as to whether I was well.
Has lipo fixed it? Absolutely! I couldn't be happier. I had 3 1/2 litres removed (wanted more but the surgeon said that was max for me). In the end he took it off my legs, hips and stomach (the latter to allow my muscle tone to show through)...
My word of advice, though, research your surgeon well. You pay a little more for expertise and excellence that is well worth it in the end. (Believe it or not I came here because I couldn't find anybody I was comfortable with in my Aussie state) Good luck. Will try to post photos later.
