Minor liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes small, localised fat deposits from selected body areas through small access points in the skin using a thin cannula and controlled suction.
It is not a weight loss treatment. The goal is contour refinement in areas where fat persists despite diet and exercise.

| Minor Liposuction | Larger Liposuction |
|---|---|
| Targets small fat pockets | Treats larger or multiple areas |
| May suit local anaesthesia in selected cases | May need general anaesthesia |
| Usually shorter procedure | Usually longer procedure |
| Smaller treatment volume | Larger treatment volume |
| Often simpler early recovery | Longer recovery may be needed |
At Let Me In, Dr. Apar will assess whether your concern fits minor liposuction or a different plan.
May reduce small fat deposits under the chin and improve jawline contour in suitable patients.
May improve localised upper arm fat when skin quality supports contouring.
Can treat small belly fat pockets, but not loose hanging skin or major fat volume.
May contour stubborn love-handle areas in selected cases.
Small upper or lower back fat pockets may be treated when suitable.
Used for selected thigh contouring based on fat volume, proportion, and skin elasticity.
No. Minor liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. It is designed for contouring selected fat pockets in people near stable weight.
If your goal is major weight loss or your main concern is loose skin, liposuction alone may not be the right first option.
The Procedure
Technique is planned based on treatment area, fat volume, skin quality, and anaesthesia choice.
The area is marked before surgery to guide fat removal and contour planning.
Anaesthesia is selected based on treatment area and case complexity.
Small planned access points are made for cannula entry.
Special fluid may be placed to improve comfort and reduce bleeding during removal.
Controlled suction removes selected fat while maintaining balanced contour transitions.
Dressings are applied and compression guidance is provided for recovery support.
Before discharge, you receive aftercare, medicine, activity, and follow-up guidance.
During treatment, anaesthesia helps reduce pain. After the procedure, soreness, swelling, bruising, tightness, or burning sensation may occur and usually improve gradually.
Recovery depends on the treatment area, amount of fat removed, anaesthesia type, and your body’s healing response.
Day 1 to 3
Swelling, soreness, bruising, tightness, and mild fluid drainage may happen.
Week 1
Many people return to light routine work, depending on area and comfort.
Weeks 2 to 3
Soreness and swelling continue to improve.
Weeks 4 to 6
Many people return to more activity if cleared by the surgeon.
3 to 6 months
Final contour becomes clearer as swelling settles.
Contact the clinic urgently for unusual symptoms like fever, pus, heavy bleeding, chest pain, breathing difficulty, or sudden leg swelling.
The cost depends on treatment area, number of areas, fat volume, skin quality, anaesthesia plan, procedure time, compression needs, and follow-up care. A final cost estimate is provided after consultation.
Minor liposuction removes fat surgically and may provide more direct fat removal in selected cases. Non-surgical options can be more gradual and may need multiple sessions. The better option depends on your anatomy, goals, and recovery preference.
Surgeon-led small-area contouring with realistic planning and safety-first assessment.

If you have small stubborn fat pockets that do not improve enough with diet and exercise, book a consultation with Dr. Apar Lamichhane at Korean Aesthetics Let Me In.
