Liposuction is a popular instant fat-removal procedure in Indonesia, suitable for both women and men. Although often considered a quick way to lose weight, liposuction actually has more specific purposes and functions. If you want to know more about liposuction for your body, this article will help you to understand about the procedure, benefits, types of liposuction, side effects, and the estimated cost of liposuction in Indonesia.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a medical procedure that removes fat above the muscle and beneath the skin. The goal is to remove stubborn fat deposits in areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, chin, or buttocks. The fat removed is usually subcutaneous fat that is difficult to remove with diet and exercise alone.
It's important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss method but rather a body contouring procedure. Therefore, this liposuction procedure is more appropriate for patients with a stable weight but with fat that interferes with their appearance and daily performance. One of the most common complaints among women about abdominal liposuction is that it improves their appearance.

Goals and Benefits of Liposuction
Liposuction serves two purposes and benefits for patients: aesthetic and medical. These include:
- Shaping body contours to achieve ideal body goals (body goals)
- Removing stubborn fat in specific areas
- Increasing self-confidence
- Helps treat medical conditions such as lipedema (abnormal accumulation of fat under the skin)
Types of Liposuction
The following are several types of liposuction methods commonly performed by aesthetic clinics in Indonesia:
- Tumescent Liposuction: This is the most common liposuction method. A special solution is injected into the body area before liposuction to minimize bleeding and pain.
- Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): This type of liposuction uses ultrasonic waves to liquefy fat, making it easier to remove, especially in dense areas.
- Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL): This type of liposuction relies on laser energy to liquefy fat and help tighten the patient's skin.
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): This type of liposuction uses a vibrating cannula to destroy fat more efficiently, speeding up and simplifying the suction process.
- Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER): VASER liposuction uses a stainless steel instrument (cannula) with grooves and ultrasonic waves to easily break down and remove fat cells and fat from your body.
- Laser-assisted Liposuction (Smartlipo™ and SlimLipo™): This type uses a powerful laser beam through a small, flexible tube (fiber) to break up and liquefy your fat, making it easier to remove. Laser-assisted liposuction, or liposuction, requires only a small incision in the patient's skin during the procedure.
How is the Liposuction Procedure?
The liposuction procedure typically lasts between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the amount of fat and the area of the body. After completion, patients are usually allowed to go home the same day. Liposuction generally involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation: Patients are required to have an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist before undergoing liposuction. This consultation can cover general health conditions, medical history, and the body area to be treated, as well as potential side effects and costs.
- Anesthesia: When the process begins, the patient will be given local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent and area of the procedure. Local anesthesia is for small areas, with the patient awake; regional/spinal anesthesia is for the lower body; and general anesthesia is for large procedures or multiple areas at once.
- Small Incision: This process has already entered the stage of the liposuction procedure. The doctor will make small incisions (0.5-1 cm) in the skin in the area where liposuction will be performed and then insert a cannula (small tube).
- Liposuction: The next step in the liposuction procedure is the fat suction process. At this stage, the cannula works to break down the fat tissue, and then the broken-down fat is sucked out through a vacuum device or syringe.
- Wound Closure: Finally, there is the process of closing the incision. The incision is closed using small, fine stitches or special adhesive. Then it is covered with a bandage, and the patient will be advised to wear special tight clothing for several weeks.
Recovery After the Procedure
The patient can go home the same day for the recovery process. Common symptoms like pain, bruising, and swelling usually last for about 2 weeks, and it's recommended to avoid heavy physical activity for several weeks. The final results will be visible after the swelling subsides, which takes over 3 months.
