Top 10 Liposuction Prices and Offers in Dubai

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes fat from a specific area of your body. Using a catheter inserted into incisions made on the body, fat is suctioned out through a thin tube. It is not a procedure to lose weight, so you are recommended to lose weight through diet and exercise and achieve a certain weight target. People who opt for Liposuction are mainly those who want to remove stubborn fat that can’t be removed simply through diet and exercise.

There are a few different techniques for liposuction such as:

Traditional liposuction, surgeon injects a solution (a combination of salt water, lidocaine and epinephrine) into the treatment area to minimize blood loss and pain while performing the fat suction.

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses ultrasound wave energy to liquify the fat making it easier to be suctioned out. VASER Liposuction is a new type of Ultrasound-assisted liposuction. An acronym for “vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance”, VASER Liposuction is considered as a minimally invasive procedure with less pain or swelling, and shorter recovery time than traditional liposuction as it targets only fat cells with minimum disruption to the surrounding structures. Vaser Liposuction is commonly used for HD Lipo or High Definition Liposuction where a surgeon aims to resculpt the treatment area by selectively suctioning or rearranging the fat to achieve the desired aesthetical results.

Laser-assisted liposuction utilizes high-intensity laser beams to destroy the fat for removal. The fat is then suctioned out using a thin tube. This is also called Smartlipo, as the laser beam helps with more precise removal of fat cells.

Power-assisted liposuction uses a thin tube (cannula) that moves in rapid back and forth motion to help a surgeon remove the stubborn fat cells more easily.

Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedures in the UAE, ahead of rhinoplasty and breast surgery.

Why is there such a wide gap in Liposuction procedures in Dubai?

• Brand awareness of the clinic: treatment from a more reputable hospital will be costlier than a clinic not widely known to people. Institutions make huge investments to build a trusted brand and patients are supposed to pay a premium to consume it.
• Location: Clinics located in Jumeirah, Downtown, or Dubai Marina need to pay higher rents, multiple times more than similarly sized facilities located in less expensive areas of Dubai. Clinics in costlier areas, in turn, will charge more for otherwise similar services accordingly.
• Experience of the practitioner: It is quite understandable that you pay more for a service from a more experienced practitioner. In addition to that, if you get treatment from a doctor not a technician, it would cost you more. You will need to pay more to get treatments from specialists as they have more expertise and experience in the field than GPs.
• Combination and technology treatments: Clinics and specialists may recommend and provide treatments that combine different treatment techniques. Also, providers can utilize the latest brands and technologies that promise better results.

Who can perform a Liposuction procedure in Dubai?

In Dubai, liposuction procedures are covered under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), and Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA). Liposuction can only be performed in a general hospital, specialty hospital or day surgery center led by a consultant plastic surgeon, holding a valid DHA/DHCA license.

What are the benefits of a Liposuction procedure?

In general, a healthy lifestyle is always recommended for a better quality of life. Being overweight not only puts unhealthy stresses on your body but also affects your self-perception and self-esteem. For people who have exhausted conventional means of losing fat, liposuction can be the answer. Liposuction can address stubborn fats that are highly resistant to consistent exercise and diet. Also, people who have lost significant weight through weight-loss surgeries such as gastric sleeve, will find liposuction as the best solution to remove excess skin/fat from their body.

Who is the right candidate for Liposuction?

Usually, the best candidates for a liposuction procedure are those who have achieved a relatively normal or healthy weight, but still have areas of fat they can’t lose, even after a substantial amount of exercising and dieting.
