Liposuction in Melbourne

Surgical liposuction for targeted fat removal from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and submental area, performed by FRACS surgeon Dr Geoffrey Barnett at Hawthorn East, Melbourne. Pricing from $3,000 AUD for a one-hour session (surgeon fee). Multiple areas can be addressed in a single procedure. Often combined with abdominoplasty or other body contouring procedures.

VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction for precise fat removal across the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and chin. Ultrasonic energy emulsifies fat cells before removal, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues and enabling more accurate contouring than traditional liposuction. Suitable for both moderate and large-volume cases. GP referral required before consultation, and a mandatory cooling-off period applies before surgery.

Dr Richard Maxwell offers liposuction and body contouring for treatment-resistant fat deposits at his Melbourne practice. Small-volume liposuction is available as a standalone procedure; larger-volume contouring is commonly combined with breast or body surgery in the same operative session. Dr Maxwell has a special clinical interest in body contouring after massive weight loss, including bodylifting procedures that integrate liposuction with skin excision. Suitable candidates are non-smokers in good general health with a BMI below approximately 32.

Gynecomastia surgery for male breast reduction using VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue from the male chest, and excision when glandular breast tissue is present. Addresses enlarged male breast tissue (gynaecomastia) to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Requires GP referral and mandatory cooling-off period before surgery.

VASER Hi-Def (4D) liposuction for athletic muscle-definition sculpting of the abdomen, chest, and flanks. Advanced technique selectively removes superficial fat surrounding muscle groups to reveal defined contours including six-pack abs and pectoral definition. Best suited to patients close to their ideal weight with moderate residual fat. Requires GP referral and mandatory cooling-off period.
