Get to know LAMS, the Korean Liposuction Method

The sophistication of technology in the health and beauty world is making it increasingly easier for medical professionals to provide satisfactory results to patients. One of them is LAMS, which is an advanced liposuction method for removing body fat to achieve an ideal body shape, especially for women. What LAMS is, its benefits, and the cost range of LAMS at the Akasia 365mc clinic are explained in the following article.

What is the LAMS Method?

Now, achieving your dream body can be achieved through various methods beyond diet and exercise. LAMS from Korea could be the best option for achieving your ideal body shape. What is LAMS, or Local Anesthetic Minimally Invasive LipoSuction? This minimally invasive liposuction procedure, performed under local anesthesia so the patient remains conscious during the procedure, is proven to be much safer than conventional liposuction, with minimal pain and downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly. The LAMS procedure is safer because it uses a small cannula needle to precisely extract fat from specific areas of the body, without the need for large incisions. This procedure is suitable for patients who want to enhance their body contour by targeting stubborn fat in specific areas, such as the arms, abdomen, thighs, and others. The LAMS method uses a small instrument (cannula) to precisely remove fat from specific areas of the body desired by the patient, without the need for large incisions. This procedure is suitable for patients who want body contouring by smoothing out specific areas of the body and removing stubborn fat, but with faster recovery than conventional liposuction.

Advantages of LAMS Compared to Conventional Liposuction

The LAMS procedure was developed to address fat accumulation in specific areas of the body that are difficult to remove through diet and exercise alone. The advantages of LAMS include:

1. Specifically removing fat, targeting stubborn fat areas that cannot be removed naturally, such as the chin, upper arms, thighs, or abdomen.
2. The use of a small cannula helps to more precisely refine the patient's desired body contour without excessive pain.
3. LAMS uses local anesthesia in the area being treated, minimizing the risk of complications associated with general anesthesia.
4. Patients do not require hospitalization and can immediately return to their activities with minimal downtime, as it is not a major surgery (only local anesthesia is used).
5. Effectively refines body contour instantly in just one LAMS procedure with less pain than conventional liposuction.
6. Performed only by experienced plastic surgeons who have undergone training in Korea. Wearing a compression garment after LAMS is not mandatory, as the LAMS package includes aftercare to help speed healing.
7. It is performed at Mayapada Hospital, a JCI-certified, internationally recognized hospital.

What is the Procedure for Performing LAMS?

The LAMS liposuction procedure is considered effective and safe, requiring no hospitalization. However, like other medical procedures, LAMS also requires some preparation and precautions that patients should be aware of before undergoing the procedure. Here are the steps patients will go through before and after LAMS:

1. Initial Consultation and Evaluation
   Before the procedure, the patient will undergo a consultation with the doctor. If the patient is deemed suitable and agrees, the procedure will then be scheduled. This consultation includes:
   • Determining the body area to be shaped
   • Assessing fat thickness and skin condition
   • Providing medical history
   • Receiving an explanation of the procedure, risks, and realistic outcomes
2. Laboratory Tests and 3D Body Scan*
   After booking the procedure by paying the full cost, patients can schedule a general blood test and a 3D full-body scan* 2-14 days before the LAMS procedure.
   *3D full-body scanners are only available in Jakarta
3. Assessment and Marking of the Procedure Area
   On the day of the procedure, before entering the procedure room, the patient will be assessed by a nurse, and afterward, the doctor will mark the area of ​​the body where the LAMS will be performed using a marker to guide the procedure.
4. Injection of Local Anesthetic and Fat-Dissolving Solution
   The doctor will inject a local anesthetic (tumescence) into the marked area to numb the area. Afterward, the doctor will inject a medicated solution to soften the fat, making the liposuction process easier and reducing the risk of bleeding and bruising.
5. Micro-Incisions
   After the anesthesia takes effect, the doctor will make a small incision of approximately 2–3 mm in the skin to allow the liposuction needle to enter. This is followed by the insertion of the cannula, which is used for the fat removal process. The amount of fat removed varies depending on the size of each patient's body area and the amount of fat they have.
6. Recovery and Follow-up
   The patient will be transferred to the recovery room to be observed for 1 hour for any post-procedure side effects, such as dizziness and nausea. If these symptoms have resolved, the patient can go home immediately. Mild pain, swelling, or bruising may occur for a few days, but these can be managed with medication and supplements prescribed by the doctor. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity for 3–7 days, but light activity is usually safe after 24–48 hours. Final results are usually visible within 2–4 weeks, and optimal results are achieved within 2–3 months after the swelling has completely subsided.
