Unlike newer liposuction methods, traditional liposuction involves administering a general anaesthetic so the patient is asleep throughout the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision and use cannulas, which are moved back and forth to remove the body fat. Vacuum suction helps to extract fat cells. The incisions will be closed with dissolvable stitches, and drainage tubes may be used to prevent fluid build-up. Traditional types of liposuction do not involve potential risks that are often encountered with laser liposuction or Vaser liposuction.

is a highly effective type of liposuction which can be carried out under local anaesthetic for the treatment of small body areas. The procedure first involves injecting a diluted anaesthetic solution into the skin, which makes the area numb and swollen, and is known as tumescent anaesthesia. Pre-injecting the fat with a tumescent solution makes it easier to remove the body fat and will result in less bleeding and bruising. Surgeons are then able to make incisions into the target areas of fat and use small-diameter cannulas to remove the unwanted body fat.  This is the method which is used at Centre for Surgery for .

The term MicroLipo refers to the fact that the size of fat extraction cannulas is much smaller than that of cannulas used during traditional lipo surgery. Micro cannulas often measure no more than 3 mm in diameter, with 1.5 to 2 mm being the average. This with cannulas used during traditional liposuction, where the average cannula size measures between 4mm and 5mm.

MicroLipo works great for small, well-defined areas, including the chin or region, the jawline, the inner arms and the inner thighs.

The above 4 cases were performed with an advanced form of local anaesthesia known as the
