How we work

  • Your surgeon meets you, analyses your body type and designs your plan personally
  • We tell you honestly if liposuction isn't the right answer
  • Surgeries use micro-cannulas and three extraction methods (PAL, WAL, hand finishing)
  • Aftercare is planned by the same team that operated
