What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical fat-removal procedure that targets localised areas of excess fat through suction-assisted techniques. It’s not a weight-loss solution, but a contouring treatment that reshapes the body by removing fat cells from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back, or under the chin.
Dr Parviz Sadigh performs liposuction in Dubai using advanced techniques that reduce trauma, minimise downtime, and produce smoother, more natural contours. As a board-certified Consultant Plastic Surgeon, he ensures every procedure is tailored to the patient’s frame, goals, and skin quality.
How It Works
Consultation and Planning
Dr Parviz Sadigh begins by evaluating your areas of concern, overall body proportions, and skin elasticity. A personalised surgical plan is created, selecting the best technique (such as tumescent or power-assisted liposuction) for optimal fat removal and minimal scarring.
Procedure and Technique
Liposuction is typically performed under general or local anaesthesia, depending on the extent of treatment. Small incisions are made to insert a thin cannula, which loosens and removes fat using controlled suction. The goal is not just fat removal, but sculpting the body for a natural finish.
Aftercare and Compression
After the procedure, compression garments are worn to reduce swelling, support healing, and help shape the treated area. Some bruising, swelling, and soreness are expected in the first few days, and light movement is encouraged to aid circulation.
Recovery and Results
Initial recovery takes 7–14 days, with most patients returning to work within a week. Final results become more visible over 6–12 weeks as swelling subsides. Dr Sadigh ensures close follow-up and guidance throughout your recovery to support safe, long-lasting outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does liposuction work?
Liposuction removes fat cells from targeted areas using suction through small cannulas. The fat is loosened and extracted to reshape the body. Dr Parviz Sadigh uses advanced techniques to minimise trauma and ensure even results.
Is liposuction painful?
You may feel some soreness, bruising, or swelling for a few days after surgery. Pain is typically mild to moderate and managed with prescribed medication. Most patients describe it as discomfort rather than pain.
How long do results last?
The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining your result depends on a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Remaining fat cells can still expand with significant weight gain.
What are the risks of liposuction?
Risks may include infection, irregular contours, fluid accumulation, or temporary numbness. Choosing a board-certified surgeon like Dr Sadigh significantly reduces these risks through careful technique and close monitoring.
What’s the recovery time?
Most people return to work within 5–10 days, depending on the extent of treatment. Swelling can last several weeks, and compression garments should be worn for 4–6 weeks. Full results take 2–3 months to settle.
Will there be visible scars?
Liposuction incisions are small and strategically placed in discreet areas. Over time, these scars usually fade significantly and become barely noticeable.
How do I choose the right surgeon?
Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with a strong track record in body contouring. Dr Parviz Sadigh brings UK-based training, years of experience, and a detailed, patient-led approach to every procedure.
