After a weight loss regime, when your body has stabilised near its best weight and you want to address resistant areas of excess fat, then liposuction can be performed. The procedure is always done in a licensed theatre under either sedation or general anaesthesia.

Pricing will be higher if more areas need to be treated. This is, primarily, because it will take more time to complete the surgery. The cost of surgery will be tailored to your needs. As an example, the duration of liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and thighs in theatre is roughly 150 minutes, and is currently priced at R 56,000.00 The cost of surgery includes the initial consultation, hospital, anaesthetist, assistant and surgeon’s fees.
