Obesity-related body contouring at The SiB Plastic Surgery in Bangkok, Thailand, includes liposuction and abdominoplasty. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Darin Muangthai has over 20 years of experience, and an anesthesiologist monitors patients throughout surgery.
Assessment before treatment
A plastic surgeon reviews the patient’s body and discusses suitable procedures. The assessment includes medical history, medications, and allergies.
Fat-removal and body-contouring options
- VASER liposuction: Ultrasound waves loosen fat before suction through a thin cannula. The clinic uses VASER LipoSelection, whose technique is US FDA-certified. Treatment takes 2–4 hours, depending on the area and fat volume. It may be used for localized deposits on the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, or face.
- BodyTite: This energy-assisted liposuction removes fat and tightens skin during the same session.
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): A vibrating cannula loosens fat. The clinic describes it as an option for dense or fibrous fat.
- MicroAero cannula technique: Micro-cannulas enter through 2–3 mm incisions for detailed sculpting.
- Lean Body 3D/4D body sculpting: This clinic-specific protocol uses VASER liposuction to shape areas such as the abdomen and thighs.
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck): This surgery removes excess skin from the abdomen. The clinic describes a pathway that includes consultation, surgery, and post-operative care.
- Weight loss surgery: The clinic lists this as a specialty, but does not provide details about specific procedures.
Preparation and recovery
Before surgery, patients are advised to stop smoking 2–3 weeks beforehand and avoid alcohol for 1–2 days. They should fast for 6–8 hours and stop aspirin, vitamins, and supplements at least two weeks before surgery. Patients should tell the doctor about chronic conditions and drug allergies.
After liposuction, patients wear a compression garment and keep the wound dry until stitches are removed. The clinic advises avoiding smoking, alcohol, heavy lifting, seafood, and fermented foods during recovery. Patients take prescribed medication and attend follow-up visits.
Seven doctors across two departments handle each case, with hospital-grade operating rooms and standards. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss which options may fit their needs.
