How Does Liposuction Work

Liposuction has evolved far beyond traditional fat removal. Today, it’s not just about getting rid of stubborn fat—it’s about sculpting your body, tightening the skin, and enhancing your natural shape.

At Rattinan Clinic, one of Thailand’s most trusted aesthetic clinics, you’ll find the latest liposuction technologies tailored to your unique needs.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. Common target zones include the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, flanks, and under the chin. The goal is not just weight loss, but body contouring—reshaping areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

Modern liposuction combines fat removal with advanced skin tightening to deliver smoother, more natural-looking results. Here’s a general overview of how it works:

Fat Breakdown
Energy (such as ultrasound or radiofrequency) is used to break down or liquefy fat cells.

Fat Extraction
A small cannula is inserted through tiny incisions to suction out the fat.

Skin Tightening
Some advanced techniques stimulate collagen production, helping the skin retract and firm up post-procedure.
