How it Works
Procedure
The procedure is done under sedation, lowering the patient’s stress before and during surgery. Local anaesthesia is injected at the site so that a small nick can be made in the skin, where the tumescent anaesthesia is then injected to numb the whole area. The laser is used first under the skin to melt the fat and tightens the skin and then power assisted suction (PAL) is used gently under the skin where the cannula vibrates and breaks the remaining fat without using any power force. PAL has much stronger power to remove more fat from the patient than conventional liposuction without the need to use any man power force. After the procedure, the patient should wear a compression garment for 4 weeks. The garment is designed to support the tissues and to minimise the chances of bruising and swelling.
Tumescent Anaesthesia
Tumescent anaesthesia is a large volume of diluted local anaesthesia that has the advantage of numbing the liposuction area and at the same time, it shrinks the blood vessels which minimises the discomfort during the surgery and any chance of bleeding after the surgery.
Recovery
Recovery is very rapid. It is quite common to sense some tenderness and some patients could resume work the very next day. A compression garment will be worn on the treated section for 4-6 weeks. While results may differ for each patient they cannot be guaranteed. On consultation, Dr Attalla will be able to advise you if you are a good candidate for the Slim Lipo procedure.

Firstly, the patient is sedated in order to minimise stress before and during surgery. Then tumescent anaesthesia is used to numb the area requiring treatment. Tumescent anaesthesia is diluted local anaesthesia which expands the tissues, shrinks the blood vessels and contains antibacterial elements, resulting in less discomfort after the surgery and a more efficient recovery process. Up to four or five small incisions are made in the skin, and a suction cannula is used to extract the fat deposits from under the skin.

Following surgery and as part of your recovery, it will be necessary for you to wear a medical grade compression garment for 4-6 weeks. The compression garment will aid your recovery from the side effects of surgery, including bruising, swelling and general discomfort. It will also help to ease some pain as well. Compression garments benefit wearers by:
- Significantly reducing oedema by compressing and flushing potentially harmful body fluids away from the skin.
- Minimising bruising by compression on small blood vessels and capillaries.
- Reducing the possible risk of infection as potentially harmful fluids are not allowed to accumulate.
- Aiding general body contouring and skin retraction by firm compression of the skin during the healing process.
- Improved comfort by compression provided support.
Due to different surgical procedures and recovery periods, you may need to wear your compression garment for some time following surgery. On average this will be for a minimum of three weeks and as you will be expected to wear your garment 24 hours a day it is recommended you purchase 2 garments so that one can be washed and air dried whilst you wear the other. We recommend wearing the garment for 2 weeks 24/7 then in the next two weeks you can wear it as long as you can. This is extremely important in order to ensure the best possible surgical outcome.
