What is liposuction and how is it planned?
Liposuction, also called suction assisted lipectomy, removes localised subcutaneous fat through small access incisions using a cannula and suction. At RevAesthetic, Dr Kishen Nara assesses the areas being considered, skin quality, medical history, medicines, body mass index and the likely volume before advising whether liposuction is suitable. The procedure plan may cover one area or several connected areas, including the abdomen, waist, thighs, chest or neck. A written quote is prepared after a face-to-face assessment because doctor, theatre, anaesthetic and consumable fees depend on the plan. Recovery instructions cover compression garments, gentle walking, time away from work and a staged return to exercise. The Medical Board of Australia guidelines require a general practitioner referral and at least two consultations before cosmetic surgery. Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, altered sensation, asymmetry, fluid collections and dissatisfaction, and these are discussed before consent.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) is a surgical procedure that removes localised fat deposits from specific areas of the body — including the abdomen, waist, thighs, flanks and chest — using a thin hollow cannula and suction. At RevAesthetic it is performed by Dr Kishen Nara (MBBS, FACCSM(Surg), AHPRA MED0001201549) using the tumescent technique, in which a saline and local anaesthetic solution is infused into the treatment area before fat is removed.
This is a procedure done under sterile conditions while you are carefully and safely monitored where a selection of fat areas are removed using sterile specialised cannulas. Please read about the risks of surgery before you decide.
Liposuction in Melbourne, and more broadly across Australia, is one of the questions patients raise most often at consultation, generally followed closely by lipo cost. That is why RevAesthetic provides a personalised, written quote only after your face-to-face assessment with Dr Nara, rather than a flat price advertised online.
Is it painful? All surgeries require time to heal. During this time you can expect discomfort however modern measures help with discomfort. Time to recovery in the immediate phase after surgery is generally 7 to 10 days. When may I resume my routine exercises? It varies on the intensity of exercises you perform — generally 3–6 weeks. When can I expect the full recovery? 6 months.
Understanding your options
Liposuction techniques compared
"Liposuction" covers a family of related techniques that differ in how fat is loosened before it's removed by suction. The table below sets out the three variants patients most often ask about — this is informational, not a recommendation of one over another; suitability is assessed individually at consultation.
| Technique | How it works | Used at RevAesthetic? |
|---|---|---|
| Tumescent (suction assisted lipectomy) | A saline and local anaesthetic solution is infused into the treatment area before fat is removed by suction through a thin cannula. The fluid reduces bleeding and provides pain control during and after the procedure. | Yes — this is the technique Dr Nara performs for every patient. |
| Power-assisted (PAL) | A cannula with a mechanised, rapidly vibrating tip helps loosen fat before suction, which can reduce the physical effort required during the procedure. | No — not offered. |
| Ultrasound-assisted (VASER) | Ultrasound energy is used to break down fat cells before suction removal. Often marketed under brand names such as "VASER." | No — not offered. |
Power-assisted and ultrasound-assisted liposuction are brand-named variants of the same underlying idea — using energy or vibration to help break up fat before it is suctioned out. Dr Nara's practice uses standard suction assisted lipectomy with the tumescent technique for every patient, discussed and demonstrated at consultation.
Liposuction is sometimes discussed alongside other body procedures. Fat removed from one area can be relocated to the buttocks by fat grafting, which is covered on the buttock lift and fat grafting page. Where loose abdominal skin is the main concern rather than fat alone, a tummy tuck may be the more appropriate procedure to consider. Suitability for any combination is assessed individually at consultation.
What "lipo 360" actually means
"Lipo 360" and "360 lipo" describe liposuction performed around the full circumference of the midsection — typically the abdomen, flanks, and lower back — treated together in a single session, rather than one area addressed in isolation. It is not a separate technique: at RevAesthetic, lipo 360 is still suction assisted lipectomy performed with the tumescent technique, simply planned across a wider treatment area so the waistline is shaped as one continuous result rather than disconnected zones.
| Single-area liposuction | Lipo 360 | |
|---|---|---|
| Areas treated | One region in a single session — for example, the abdomen only, or the flanks only. | Abdomen, flanks and lower back treated together, addressing the waistline as a full circumference. |
| Technique used | Tumescent suction assisted lipectomy. | Same technique — tumescent suction assisted lipectomy, planned across a larger treatment area. |
| Session length & safe volume | Generally shorter, with a smaller treatment volume. | Longer, with total safe treatment volume assessed against recognised large-volume safety limits — may be staged across more than one session where appropriate. |
| Right fit | Where one area is the primary concern. | Where the goal is a continuous shape around the waist rather than isolated spot treatment. |
Whether a 360-degree approach or a single-area approach is right for you depends on your anatomy, goals, and safe treatment volume — this is assessed individually at consultation with Dr Nara.
Where liposuction is performed
Areas treated
Liposuction can be planned for a single area on its own, or across a wider circumferential region (lipo 360) in one session. The table below sets out the areas patients most often ask Dr Nara about, and the general approach for each. Which areas are suitable, and whether a single-area or 360 approach fits your goals, is assessed individually at consultation.
| Area | Typical approach |
|---|---|
| Abdomen | Treated on its own, or as part of a circumferential lipo 360 plan together with the flanks and lower back. |
| Flanks & waist | Often combined with the abdomen and lower back as lipo 360; can also be addressed as a single area. |
| Thighs (inner & outer) | Generally a single-area procedure: inner-thigh and outer-thigh liposuction are planned and assessed separately. |
| Arms | A single-area procedure, planned around your anatomy and goals at consultation. |
| Chin & neck (submental) | A single area requiring its own tailored planning, separate from body-area liposuction. |
| Back | Usually treated together with the abdomen and waist as part of a circumferential lipo 360 plan. |
Some patients are suitable for more than one area, and some are not suitable for surgery at all. This can only be determined at a face-to-face consultation with Dr Nara.

01 Is it painful?
All surgeries require time to heal. During this time you can expect discomfort however modern measures help with discomfort. risks of surgery. Time to recovery in the immediate phase after surgery is generally 7 to 10 days. The operation, when done with the training and qualification undergone by Dr Nara, usually has varying discomfort from person to person. Dr Nara carefully places the sterile liposuction cannulas into your tissues whilst ensuring you are comfortable. -
02 When may I resume my routine exercises?
It varies on the intensity of exercises you perform. Generally this is 3–6 weeks. -
03 When can I expect the full recovery?
6 months. -
04 What is liposuction?
Liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) is a surgical procedure that removes localised fat deposits from specific areas of the body using a thin hollow cannula and suction. At RevAesthetic it is performed by Dr Kishen Nara (MBBS, FACCSM(Surg), AHPRA MED0001201549) using the tumescent technique. The procedure is done under sterile conditions while you are carefully and safely monitored. risks of surgery. -
05 What is the technique of liposuction?
Dr Nara will listen to your concerns to understand the goals that are important to you. Liposuction is surgery that involves changing the appearance of your normal bodily features such as with shape and form. Dr Nara, being trained, experienced, and qualified in cosmetic surgery brings his experience and interest to your unique assessment. -
06 How is it done?
Dr Nara has received advanced formal accreditation and training at Ashbrooke Cosmetic Surgery in Sydney via the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgeons which is the only facility that trains for liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) in Australia. In addition, Dr Nara has travelled internationally for further advanced cosmetic conferences to share and discuss unique cosmetic cases to always improve standards and quality of care. Sterile long instruments are inserted after solutions that are used to numb your skin are injected. Recovery and results will vary from individual to individual. The depth of your procedure will be discussed at your consult. -
07 What liposuction technique is used at RevAesthetic?
Dr Nara performs liposuction using the tumescent technique — a saline and local anaesthetic solution (tumescent fluid) is infused into the treatment area before suction assisted fat removal. This approach allows many procedures to be performed under local anaesthesia, with general anaesthesia available when clinically appropriate. If you have seen "VASER liposuction" or "PAL liposuction" advertised elsewhere, these are brand names for ultrasound-assisted and power-assisted variants; Dr Nara's practice uses standard suction assisted lipectomy with the tumescent technique. -
08 How much does liposuction cost?
First of all, you must consider who is operating on you, whether you are having surgery in a fully accredited and licensed facility, and whether you have good after-care management. Has your practitioner received formal training in cosmetic medicine and surgery? You are allowed to ask this at your consult. In addition, has your practitioner received formal training in liposuction? Is your practitioner qualified in cosmetic surgery? Do you feel that you are comfortable with the practitioner and not rushed into the surgery? Did you understand the consent process and whether you had any questions? Have your goals of surgery been analysed carefully? The above represents only a handful of questions relevant to liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy). However, it does make you understand the importance of these elements prior to even considering the cost of surgery. The cost of surgery for elective cosmetic liposuction encompasses various elements including doctor's fees, theatre fees, anaesthetic fees, and consumables. Generally, it also depends on what areas you want to have improved. Since all patients are unique, you must have a dedicated cosmetic consult with Dr Nara prior to any treatment so that an appropriate quote can be generated specifically for you. RevAesthetic has an ONLINE quote available if photos are uploaded to our secure email admin@revaesthetic.com.au (NB: this preliminary quote is generated within 3 working days but formal quotes are provided based on your comprehensive face to face assessment with Dr Nara). -
09 Am I too old for liposuction? Or what is the age limit?
Age is not a significant factor when considering cosmetic surgery. Dr Nara and the team at RevAesthetic will always screen patients with the help of additional physicians where necessary in order to ensure that we maximise your safety. Certainly, if you do have multiple comorbidities that are poorly controlled and are on blood thinners then the risks of surgery are increased significantly enough for the exclusion from any surgery. If you are not sure, simply book a consult and we will be more than happy to provide an in-depth cosmetic assessment for you. Some may ask the question "Is age a restriction for liposuction?" — this usually refers to the upper limit of age. All patients are assessed based on Medical Board of Australia guidelines and each patient is assessed individually since no patient is the same. -
10 Are there scars from liposuction?
All cosmetic surgical treatments have some degree of scarring. Fortunately, this is minimal for liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy). You can expect the scars from the entry points for the long sterile cannulas to be about under 12mm. Also, everyone heals differently with scars. Some heal faster, others take longer. Scars are permanent but they will be small. risks of surgery. -
11 Will I get wrinkly skin after liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy)?
All patients come in different shapes and sizes. In addition, all patients come in different qualities of the skin. This can only be ascertained at your consult. It is important to realise that liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) has its limitations in improving the appearance of what the skin will look like. This will be discussed at your unique consultation with Dr Nara. To understand this before your consult, pinch your skin at the back of your hand, and see how quickly it recoils back to its original position. -
12 Is it safe?
Liposuction is an important cosmetic operation commonly performed across the world. Liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) requires training, skill and experience. Liposuction safety profile is improved when performed carefully in accredited facilities. There are risks with any cosmetic treatment which will be discussed at your consultation. It is important to understand what your goals are exactly before your unique consultation with Dr Nara. risks of surgery. -
13 Do I need this?
The truth is, you do not need any elective surgery including cosmetic surgery. As the description implies, it is an elective operation. If you feel that there are areas important to you that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise then this may be something to consider with liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy). Speak to Dr Nara at your consultation and he will enlighten you. -
14 What if I am overweight?
Basically, the higher an individual's body mass index, the higher the risk of surgery. This, however, does not exclude you completely from liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy). Some patients may decide to have liposuction within reasonable limits to have a smaller improvement in some areas. You will be excluded if the body mass index is above the limit of what is safe especially for liposuction. To understand this more thoroughly, Dr Nara will go through a few important aspects with you to understand your goals better. Don't hesitate to ask questions at your consultation. -
15 Does liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) work?
Please scroll down and view the before and after results of Dr Nara's patients. These are only some examples of how liposuction can alter the shape and form of patients. Liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) is an established surgical technique to reshape the body within reasonable limits and expectations. We focus on patient safety. The procedure requires training, skill and experience. Dr Nara is trained in liposuction through his Fellowship with the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine, and applies that training alongside a careful, patient-by-patient approach. The training specific to liposuction will be explained thoroughly and comprehensively during the consultation process. All patients are informed and consent obtained should an appropriately qualified medical health practitioner assist him at the time of surgery. -
16 Am I ready for liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy)?
If you have been considering liposuction, it is imperative to have a thorough psychological, medical and cosmetic assessment when booking your consultation with Dr Nara. In more instances than not, patients would need to be guided carefully leading up to surgery so as to optimise their results from surgery. This is only if you are suitable for surgery and had considered other alternatives. Sometimes, if you do too much, it could work against you such as overworking your joints and possibly sustaining injuries. -
17 How much fat do I need removed?
All of it? Some of it? This is where Dr Nara draws on his skill, training and understanding of his patients. At your individual consultation, Dr Nara will aim to understand your goals and discuss the nature and risks of surgery thoroughly. It is important to choose a doctor who understands you well and who puts your priorities first. -
18 I want to change the shape of my waists and hips but I think I am already slim?
Dr Nara has patients from all walks of life that he sees during his consults. At RevAesthetic, we do not discriminate against patients. Some patients are suitable for surgery and some are not. This can only be determined at your consultation. Sometimes, you may be surprised by the possible surgical options available. Dr Nara always considers your safety and will guide you carefully to make an informed and confident decision. A tip before your consultation is to bring a basic drawing of what your goals of surgery would be like. -
19 I want to change the shape of my mons? How?
Accumulation of soft tissue around the mons pubis area may occur over time. Some common factors involved with the progression of time are weight changes, medical conditions, or even pregnancies. The larger appearance of the mons pubis over time may be what some patients seek to consider a reduction of its' size or volume based on their personal preference. Liposuction in this area is an effective way to reduce the prominence of the mons region for suitable patients. It is imperative to seek a thorough consultation with Dr Nara to understand the risks of surgery. -
20 Liposuction near me?
While simply searching for liposuction near me whether in Melbourne or Hobart may reassure you that there are available services to provide surgery, there is in fact a lot more to it. Liposuction is a personal but also an invasive operation. It takes years to learn and be competent at performing liposuction especially with regards to having the correct training to receive accreditation to do so. Always ask questions. Has your doctor received formal training in liposuction? Can they show you certification in liposuction? Is their training college specific to cosmetic surgery? Does the consultation put your priorities first and do you feel comfortable with it? Do they follow the Medical Board of Australia guidelines? -
21 How much does liposuction or liposculpture cost in Melbourne?
Liposculpture is another term for liposuction, referring to the body-reshaping aspect of the procedure — the liposculpture cost and the liposuction cost are the same fee. Whilst cost is an important consideration in the alteration of the shape and form of the body, there are more essential factors to consider such as the qualifications of your doctor, training specific to cosmetic surgery, experience and results you can understand. Liposuction costs in Melbourne generally range from AUD $1,500 to AUD $19,800. This is a pure estimate of the surgical fee and does not include, but not limited to, the cost of the operation theatre, anaesthetic fees, consumables and follow-up costs. All patients are not the same. Each individual at RevAesthetic requires a personalised assessment and we provide tailored specific plans for each patient based on individual anatomy, medical conditions and genetic composition. Therefore, a personalised quote is generated for each of our patients. Dr Nara is a cosmetic doctor — private health insurance and Medicare rebates do not apply. RevAesthetic does not run an in-house payment plan; independent third-party medical finance is available if you choose to use it, and the written quote from your consultation can be submitted to whichever provider you prefer. For a line-by-line breakdown of what a liposuction quote generally includes, see liposuction in Melbourne: what the cost actually includes. -
22 What is lipo 360?
"Lipo 360" describes liposuction performed around the full circumference of the midsection in a single session — typically the abdomen, flanks, and lower back together — rather than treating one area in isolation. It is not a different technique to standard liposuction; at RevAesthetic it is still suction assisted lipectomy performed with the tumescent technique, just planned across a wider treatment area so the waistline is addressed as one continuous shape rather than separate zones. Whether a 360-degree approach or a single-area approach is right for you depends on your anatomy, goals, and safe treatment volume — this is assessed individually at consultation with Dr Nara. -
23 What technique does RevAesthetic use — tumescent, power-assisted, or ultrasound-assisted liposuction?
Dr Nara performs suction assisted lipectomy using the tumescent technique — a saline and local anaesthetic solution is infused into the treatment area before fat is removed by suction. "VASER liposuction" and "PAL liposuction" (power-assisted lipectomy), advertised elsewhere, are brand names for ultrasound-assisted and power-assisted variants of the same underlying idea — using energy or vibration to help break up fat before it is suctioned out. RevAesthetic does not use ultrasound-assisted or power-assisted devices; the tumescent technique with standard suction assisted lipectomy is the approach used for every patient, and is discussed and demonstrated at consultation. -
24 What are the risks and possible complications of liposuction?
As with any surgical procedure, liposuction carries risks. These can include bleeding, infection, seroma (a build-up of fluid under the skin), haematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), contour irregularity, changes in skin sensation, and — uncommonly but seriously — deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or fat embolism. Increasing pain, swelling, or shortness of breath after surgery should be treated as an emergency — call an ambulance. The full list of risks is not exhaustive and is discussed in detail, specific to your circumstances, at your consultation with Dr Nara. read more about the risks of surgery. -
25 Will I need to wear a compression garment after liposuction?
Yes. A compression garment is worn after liposuction to help manage swelling and support the treated area while it heals. The specific garment, how many hours a day it is worn, and for how long depends on the areas treated and the volume involved — this is set out in your individualised after-care instructions rather than a single fixed rule for every patient. Expect increased swelling around day 5 to day 7 after surgery; this is a normal part of the healing process and the garment is part of managing it. -
26 Is there a safe limit on how much fat can be removed in one liposuction session?
Yes — large-volume liposuction has recognised clinical safety limits, because removing too much fat in a single session increases the risk of complications such as fluid shifts, blood loss, and prolonged anaesthetic time. The appropriate volume for a single session depends on your body size, the areas being treated, general health, and the anaesthesia used. Dr Nara assesses this individually at consultation rather than working to a fixed number, and will stage larger treatment goals across more than one session where that is the safer approach. -
27 How many kg can you lose with liposuction?
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It removes localised fat deposits from specific areas rather than reducing overall body weight, so it is not something to think of in terms of kilograms lost on the scales. As above, the amount of fat that can safely be removed in a single session is limited by safety considerations, including fluid balance, anaesthetic time and the areas being treated, and this is assessed individually for each patient rather than set to a fixed figure. Cosmetic surgery services in Australia operate under the National Safety and Quality Cosmetic Surgery Standards, which govern how these procedures are performed safely. If you are considering liposuction as a way to achieve a substantial reduction in weight, this is generally not the right procedure for that goal, and it is worth discussing suitable alternatives with your GP first. -
28 Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Sometimes, depending on the areas involved, your general health, and the total anaesthetic time considered safe for a single session. Combining procedures — for example liposuction with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — is a decision made individually with Dr Nara, weighing the combined recovery, combined risk, and whether staging the procedures separately would be the safer option for you. It is not offered as a default; each combination is assessed on its own merits at consultation. -
29 What should I do to prepare before liposuction surgery?
Preparation is discussed in detail across your consultations, but generally includes: attending both required consultations with a current GP referral, stopping any blood-thinning medications or supplements as advised, arranging time off work for your recovery window, arranging someone to drive you home and help for the first few days, having your compression garment ready before surgery, and following any fasting instructions given for your specific anaesthesia. Dr Nara and the team will confirm your individual pre-op checklist at your final consultation before surgery. -
30 How soon should I start moving after liposuction?
Gentle mobilisation begins early — short, slow walks from the day of surgery or the day after, as advised for your procedure, are encouraged rather than prolonged bed rest. Moving early in this way supports circulation and is part of reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after any surgical procedure. This is separate from a return to routine exercise, which is generally 3–6 weeks depending on intensity — walking is about gentle movement in the first days, not a workout. Your individual mobilisation plan, including how much and how soon, is set out in your after-care instructions and confirmed with Dr Nara based on the areas treated and volume involved.
Consultation & fees
Consultation, fees & aftercare
The cost of surgery for elective cosmetic liposuction (suction assisted lipectomy) encompasses various elements including doctor's fees, theatre fees, anaesthetic fees, and consumables. Generally, it also depends on what areas you want to have improved. Since all patients are unique, you must have a dedicated cosmetic consult with Dr Nara prior to any treatment so that an appropriate quote can be generated specifically for you. For a plain-language breakdown of the line items behind a written estimate, see what a Melbourne liposuction quote includes.
- 01

A personalised quote is generated for each of our patients. Dr Nara is a cosmetic doctor — private health insurance and Medicare rebates do not apply.
Recovery, phase by phase
What recovery generally looks like
Recovery varies from patient to patient depending on the areas treated, the volume involved, your soft tissues, and your compliance with after-care instructions. The broad phases below are a general guide, not a promise. A fuller week-by-week account, drawn from the same recovery facts, is in our liposuction recovery, week by week article.
- 01
First 48 hours
Drainage of tumescent fluid from the small access incisions is expected in this window, so plan for towels and a waterproof mattress protector. Gentle walking around the house from day one helps circulation and is part of reducing the small but real risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The compression garment is worn from the outset.
- 02
Week 1
Treated areas feel firm, swollen, bruised and tender. This is expected, not a complication. The compression garment is generally worn 23 hours a day, removed briefly for showering. Time to recovery in this immediate phase is generally 7 to 10 days, and most patients prefer to stay home this week.
- 03
Weeks 2 to 6
Bruising fades and most desk-based occupations are feasible again from around week two or three. Routine exercise generally resumes 3 to 6 weeks after surgery, depending on the intensity and the areas treated: light walking first, building up gradually. Treated areas may still feel firm in places as internal healing continues.
- 04
Longer term
Full recovery is generally expected by around 6 months, with the final shape settling gradually over that time: sooner for smaller areas, longer for larger-volume or 360 cases. Scar care and sun protection on the small access-incision scars continue for at least twelve months.

Cases in detail
A range of liposuction cases Dr Nara has seen
Each patient who comes through RevAesthetic for liposuction has their own anatomy, goals and recovery profile. The notes below describe individual cases at different timepoints from the years of Dr Nara's practice. They are not generalisable to your situation — your own assessment is the only way to know what may or may not be addressable.
-
Wanted a naturally reshaped abdomen appearance. Had circumferential 360-degree liposuction across the trunk. Result shown three months from surgery.
-
Liposuction of the outer thighs. Results at the six-month mark.
-
A patient who described herself as a strong athlete but was unable to alter the shape of her thighs. After careful planning for inner-thigh liposuction, she had 360-degree liposuction performed meticulously given anatomical variations. Result at three months.
-
Previously an avid athlete who exercises regularly and maintained a good diet. Had 360-degree liposuction to the waist and abdomen. Result at three months from surgery.
-
360-degree liposuction of the abdomen and waist to alter shape, form and look. Image taken the day after surgery — expected bruising and swelling visible. Included here so patients see what the immediate post-operative phase actually looks like.
-
360-degree liposuction across the abdomen, waist and back. Result at three months following a strict diet and exercise regime.
-
Several consultations before proceeding. The surgical plan was tumescent suction-assisted lipectomy with a 360-degree technique to selectively remove fatty tissues from the abdomen — colloquially known as tummy liposuction. The patient had trialled conservative management before surgery and was reluctant to have tummy tuck surgery or abdominoplasty. Result at six weeks. The patient reported a difficulty-wearing-clothes score of 4/10 before surgery and 2/10 at six weeks. Not all patients are suitable for liposuction.
-
Decided to have liposuction for her inner thighs. All patients have differing goals ranging from mild to moderate changes depending on suitability of surgery and realistic expectations. Result at two months.
-
Liposuction of the chin, jawline and neck region requires tailored planning. Image taken one week following liposuction of the jawline and neck region performed by Dr Kishen Nara — expected bruising and swelling visible.
