Liposuction & Body Contouring

Surgical fat removal and body contouring by specialist plastic surgeon Dr Evan Woo at Novena, targeting stubborn fat deposits on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and back.

Liposuction at Evan Woo Plastic Surgery is performed by Dr Evan Woo, a plastic surgeon with FAMS accreditation who brings a reconstructive and aesthetic perspective to body contouring procedures. The clinic offers tumescent liposuction — the standard of care — using a dilute local anaesthetic solution infused into the target area to reduce bleeding and improve fat emulsification before suction-assisted removal via a cannula. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen and flanks (love handles), inner and outer thighs, upper arms, back, and submandibular area (double chin). Liposuction at this clinic is positioned as a body sculpting tool for individuals who have achieved a stable body weight but retain localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise, rather than a weight-loss intervention. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or sedation in a licensed operating facility; smaller areas may be addressed under local anaesthesia. Depending on the patient's goals, liposuction may be combined with other body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or mommy makeover packages. Recovery involves compression garments for 4–6 weeks and a return to light activity within 1–2 weeks. The surgical consultation covers patient selection, target areas, volume expectations, and realistic outcome framing.
