Liposuction

Dr Rohit Kumar performs liposuction at Westmead Private Hospital in Sydney to remove stubborn, diet-resistant subcutaneous fat deposits from targeted body zones including the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, and submental area. Using tumescent technique, a fine cannula aspirates fat through small discrete incisions, reshaping contours without the skin excision required for a tummy tuck. Liposuction is also used as an adjunct to abdominoplasty, body lift, and body contouring procedures to refine results across multiple zones simultaneously.

Liposuction at Sydney Cosmetic Sanctuary, performed by Dr Rohit Kumar FRACS (Plas) at Westmead Private Hospital, targets subcutaneous adipose deposits that resist dietary modification and exercise — body-specific fat compartments with a distribution pattern that is largely genetically determined and unresponsive to caloric deficit. Common treatment zones include the lower abdomen and periumbilical region, the flanks (love handles), the inner and outer thighs, the medial knee, the upper arms, the back and bra rolls, and the submental area beneath the chin and jaw. Tumescent technique is the standard approach: a dilute solution of local anaesthetic and adrenaline is infiltrated into the target zone prior to aspiration, causing the fat compartment to swell and firm, reducing blood loss, and providing extended post-operative analgesia. A fine hollow cannula is then inserted through small stab incisions placed in natural skin creases or concealed positions, and the pre-expanded fat is aspirated using carefully controlled strokes that maintain an even depth plane to avoid contour irregularity. The amount of fat that can be safely removed in a single session is determined by the patient's weight and overall health status; larger-volume cases may be staged across two sessions. Dr Kumar commonly combines liposuction of the flanks and waist with abdominoplasty to achieve circumferential lower torso recontour, and incorporates it into body lift and post-weight-loss body contouring procedures. For patients considering a Brazilian butt lift — in which harvested fat is processed and re-injected to augment buttock volume — liposuction of the donor zones constitutes the first stage of the combined procedure. Post-operative compression garments are prescribed for a minimum of six weeks. The 12-month follow-up program included in Dr Kumar's surgical fees applies to all operative procedures performed at Westmead Private Hospital, including liposuction, with review appointments available at the Leichhardt or Westmead consulting rooms.
