GET SLIM LIPO - ONE OF THE SAFEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE LIPOSUCTION IN MELBOURNE
The latest generation and state of the art technology in laser liposuction in Melbourne
Liposuction prices start from $2990 per area
Slim Lipo is cutting-edge fat removal technology to provide you excellent results with reduced risk and recovery time. Slim Lipo has a laser wavelength that selectively targets the collagen-producing cells in the skin dermis. As a result, over a period of six months, the skin fibres shrink, with full retraction achieved in nine months after the procedure.
REDUCED RECOVERY TIME WITHOUT SACRIFICING RESULTS
The downtime after the conventional method is usually about 3-4 weeks of discomfort and bruising; the downtime after Slim Lipo fat removal surgery in Melbourne is usually between 3-4 days, with some patients able to go back to work within two days post-procedure. This is also the main reason patients prefer this over other Liposuctions in Melbourne.
SO WHAT IS TRADITIONAL LIPOSUCTION?
Liposuction is the process of forcibly sucking the fat out of the body using negative pressure by suction machine and breaking the fat cells using a metal tube called a “cannula.”
The traditional or conventional Liposuction process is the original method used to perform liposuction surgeries and is still very popular among cosmetic surgeons. Traditional liposuction involves the creation of incisions over fat deposits, into which a cannula is inserted to break up and remove the fat from the body.
This procedure, which initially involved a higher rate of post-surgery complications, has been refined and improved with the invention of tumescent anaesthesia. Tumescent anaesthesia is a mixture of a large volume of saline, local anaesthetic, and adrenaline used in this procedure.
The benefits of using tumescent anaesthesia over local anaesthesia or general anaesthetic during these procedures are that tumescent anaesthesia shrinks the blood vessels under the skin and helps to minimise blood loss during the procedure, from about 50 – 60% using the old procedure down to 1%. This also allows for quicker recovery time.
Problem areas that can be addressed with liposuction
Sometimes no matter how much we exercise or how well we eat, there are parts of our body that just don’t change. With Slim Lipo, standard and the PAL system, we can safely remove a large volume of fat and can achieve the desired results with less discomfort and downtime. Chelsea Cosmetics Melbourne liposuction offers an effective way to achieve the aesthetic you’re looking for. Slim lipo when combined with PAL allows the surgeon to remove more fat than the conventional method and helps more skin retraction and tightening.
The traditional process is suitable for patients with a large volume of fat that needs to be removed. Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity are advised by Dr Mark Attalla to undergo another method such as Slim Lipo which is one of the best options for liposuction in Melbourne. The benefit of Slim Lipo Melbourne over traditional surgery is that it involves a longer recovery time.
Benefits of Traditional Liposuction
- Suitable for large volume fat removal
- Addition of tumescent anaesthesia – improved process and reduced recovery time
- Longer recovery time than other fat reduction methods
What Is Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)?
Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) is a modernised version of the procedure, also performed using tumescent anaesthesia. PAL involves the cannula being connected to a motorised handpiece, which sends micro-vibrations down through the cannula and into the subcutaneous fat beneath the skin. These vibrations gently loosen the fat, making the suction process easier and resulting in less tissue trauma than the traditional method.
Benefits of Slim Lipo Fat Removal Surgery:
- Less invasive than normal liposuction,
- Decreased downtime after the procedure with a faster recovery
- With a targeted approach, problem areas can be easily reduced within a few treatment sessions
The smaller size of the cannula also allows the PAL method to be used on areas of the body, which are more difficult to sculpt, such as the inner thighs and male breast area.
Similar to the traditional fat removal surgeries in Melbourne, PAL is a good choice for a patient who has a large volume of fat that needs to be removed, but it is not suitable for those with moderate skin laxity.
The benefits of Power Assisted Liposuction include;
- Greater surgical control
- Able to be used on a wider range of areas
- Ease of use and greater control over the cannula by the surgeon
- Shorter surgery and recovery period
- Less scarring and bruising post-surgery
- Able to be used on a wider range of areas

How it Works
To better understand the procedure, how it’s done and the recovery process, feel free to study this section.
How Liposuction Works
The liposuction 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 liposuction is used first under the skin to melt the fat and tightens the skin, and then power-assisted lipo (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 manpower force. After the procedure, the patient should wear a compression garment for four weeks. The garment is designed to support the tissues and to minimise the chances of bruising and swelling from the procedure.
Tumescent Anaesthesia
Tumescent anaesthesia is a large volume of diluted local anaesthesia that has the advantage of numbing the 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.
Liposuction Recovery Time
Recovery from this procedure 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.

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 during the procedure are made in the skin, and a suction cannula is used to extract the fat deposits from under the skin.

- Chin
- Neck
- Upper Arms
- Abdomen (upper and lower)
- Back bra bulge
- Front bra bulge
- Love handles

Compression garments are required after Liposuction to protect you from the side effects of the surgery, including bruising, swelling, and general discomfort. It will also help to ease some pain. Following the surgery and as part of your recovery compression garment will be necessary to wear for 4-6 weeks. That’s because compression garments benefits include the following:
- 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 from liposuction 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 that you purchase two garments so that one can be washed and air-dried while you wear the other.
We recommend wearing the garment for two weeks 24/7; then, in the next two weeks, you can wear it as long as you can. This is extremely important to ensure the best possible surgical outcome.

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that should not be confused with a weight-loss tactic. The aim is to tone certain areas of your body to assist with weight-related conditions, not to use it as a tool for losing weight. A typical liposuction procedure will remove between 3.5 – 5 kilograms of fat.
This is a very personal decision. If you are bothered by your stubborn areas of fat, and they are causing a lack of self-confidence or adverse effects on your daily life and comfort, then the liposuction procedure will produce results that will create a positive change in your mindset and appearance.

For the most effective, and fastest, results, the standard liposuction procedure is the most effective. Appropriate for a range of areas, classic liposuction with a cannula is a proven, safe method for targeting stubborn fat. While it does require around one to two weeks of downtime, the results are experienced almost instantly.
Non-surgical fat loss procedures work to lower the volume of fat cells in the body, offering detailed sculpting more precise than surgical liposuction. They offer greater safety and much shorter downtime, however, results do take longer to appear.
One final non-invasive fat-dissolving option new to Chelsea Cosmetics is the ONDA machine. This option uses Microwave technology to dissolve fat cells and to tighten the skin.
