The conversation
Selection, suitability, realistic expectations
A liposuction consultation with Dr Nara in Adelaide is generally an hour. The consulting room is private, and a chaperone is present throughout the examination. Dr Nara will examine the areas you are considering, assess skin quality and tone (which affects how well the tissue will retract after fat removal), check BMI and general health, and discuss whether liposuction is the appropriate procedure for what you are noticing.
Liposuction is a reshaping procedure, not a weight-loss procedure. The discussion at consultation will be honest about what it can and cannot achieve. Where skin elasticity is limited, Dr Nara may discuss a combined approach (for example, liposuction with a small tightening procedure) or recommend a different procedure altogether. The option of doing nothing is also a real option.
Because Dr Nara visits Adelaide on selected dates rather than weekly, the two-consultation process is generally arranged around the visit cadence. A Zoom consultation can be the first appointment if you would prefer to begin remotely. A formal written cooling-off period applies in line with Medical Board of Australia guidelines.
Coming to Stepney
A practical note on the rooms
The Henry Rooms sit on Nelson Street, Stepney, in Adelaide's inner east. Patients travel to Stepney for liposuction from across metropolitan Adelaide — Norwood, Kent Town, Burnside, Walkerville, Glenside, Magill, Marryatville, North Adelaide, Prospect, Unley, Parkside, Hyde Park, Malvern, Mile End, Henley Beach, Glenelg, Brighton, the Adelaide Hills and the foothills — and from regional South Australia, including the Barossa, Murray Bridge, Mount Gambier, Port Pirie and Whyalla, when the visit dates align.
The Stepney location is well-served by major arterial roads from the south, north and east. For patients coming from further afield, Adelaide Airport is a short drive away. If you need help planning a same-day visit, reception can advise.
Procedures themselves are performed at accredited Australian hospital or day-surgery facilities. Depending on the procedure and your circumstances, this may be in South Australia or interstate; Dr Nara will discuss the practicalities with you at consultation.
The procedure, in brief
Tumescent technique, body-reshaping focus
Liposuction involves the careful removal of subcutaneous fat through small access incisions, using a cannula and a tumescent solution that reduces bleeding and bruising. Common areas include the abdomen and waist, the inner and outer thighs, the chest (in male gynaecomastia patients — see the gynaecomastia page), the upper back, the bra-line, and the submental area (neck). The procedure can be performed under tumescent local anaesthesia with sedation, or under general anaesthesia, depending on the volume to be removed and the areas treated.
A full clinical overview, including the risks specific to liposuction — contour irregularities, asymmetry, prolonged swelling, fluid collections, sensation change — is on the liposuction pillar page.
