Liposuction

Liposuction at Artisan Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery is a surgical fat-reduction procedure performed by Dr Andrew Cheah using tumescent technique. It targets localised adiposity — pockets of fat that persist despite healthy diet and regular exercise — in areas such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, upper arms, back, and chin/neck region.

Tumescent liposuction involves infusing the target area with a dilute solution of local anaesthetic and adrenaline before fat removal, which numbs the area, minimises bleeding, and allows more precise sculpting. A fine cannula is then inserted through small incisions to suction out fat cells permanently.

Dr Cheah takes a contouring-focused approach to liposuction — the goal is not merely volume reduction but harmonious reshaping of the treated zone relative to adjacent anatomy. This makes the procedure suitable for patients seeking a more defined waistline, slimmer thighs, or improved arm contour rather than overall weight loss.
