The sculpting
VASER ultrasound
Ultrasound gently liquefies fat while sparing nerves and vessels, so it is removed precisely and atraumatically — smoother results, less bruising and a faster recovery.

Overview
Body contouring, made feminine
Liposuction for women is not about being “smaller” — it is about shape. Removing the stubborn fat that blurs the waist and softens the contour reveals a fit, healthy, feminine silhouette: a narrower waist, a smooth abdomen, an elegant line from the ribs to the hip.
Dr. Michels sculpts with VASER ultrasound and real-time ultrasound guidance, and tightens the skin with subdermal plasma — so the finish is smooth and refined, with the skin quality that matters as much as the shape.
The amount of definition is your choice — from a soft, natural look to a more athletic one — always keeping the result unmistakably feminine.
Your level of definition
From soft and natural to high-definition
Not every woman wants the same finish. Dr. Michels sculpts to the level you choose — most prefer a soft, natural, feminine shape rather than a hard six-pack, and the technique is tailored to that.
1
Natural
Simply removes the stubborn fat and smooths the contour — a slimmer, cleaner shape with no visible muscle etching.
2
Soft definition
A gentle hint of shape — a defined waist and a subtle centre line, still soft and completely natural.
3
Moderate
A fit, toned look — visible waistline and light abdominal definition, the “looks after herself” silhouette.
4
High-definition
The athletic finish, for women who want it — clearly etched lines, sculpted with VASER for those who train hard.
Where it works
The areas women ask for most
Liposuction refines specific areas that resist diet and training — treated alone or together for a balanced, feminine result.
{{ic-waist}}
Waist, abdomen & flanks
The core of a feminine shape — narrowing the waist and smoothing the abdomen, front and sides, for an hourglass line.
{{ic-layers}}
Back & bra line
The rolls above and below the bra that no exercise seems to shift — refined for a smooth back and a clean bra line.
{{ic-wave}}
Arms
The upper arm slimmed and defined, with plasma to tighten the skin — confidence in sleeveless dresses.
{{ic-spark}}
Inner thighs
A smoother, slimmer inner thigh and a refined leg line — a common request that responds beautifully.
{{ic-core}}
Knees & ankles
Fine contouring of stubborn fat around the knees for a slender, elegant leg from every angle.
{{ic-heart}}
Bra & underarm
The pocket of fat at the front of the underarm, smoothed for a clean line into the arm.
An honest starting point
Liposuction is contouring — not weight loss
There are two very different kinds of belly fat, and liposuction can only treat one of them. Knowing which you have is the key to a realistic, happy result.
{{ic-layers}}
Subcutaneous fat — what we sculpt
The fat between the skin and the muscle. This is the layer that blurs your waistline, and the layer liposuction removes and shapes to reveal the feminine contour beneath.
{{ic-core}}
Visceral fat — what it cannot
The fat deep inside, around the organs, behind the abdominal wall. It pushes the belly out from within and no surgery can reach it — only diet, exercise and metabolic health. An honest assessment tells you which you have.
The technique
VASER, ultrasound and plasma — for a refined finish
The result depends on the tools. Dr. Michels combines three, so the finish is smooth, safe and skin-tight — the details that make a result look elegant rather than “done”.
The safety
Real-time ultrasound guidance
Ultrasound during surgery lets Dr. Michels see the layers as he works — precision in the shaping and a strong margin of safety.
The skin
Subdermal plasma tightening
Plasma energy under the skin makes it retract onto the new contour — smooth, firm skin quality with no loose skin and no added scar. This is often what separates an elegant result from a merely thinner one.
Signature technique
Rib remodeling — a truly defined waist
For the most feminine silhouette of all, liposuction can be paired with minimally invasive rib remodeling — a signature of the practice that narrows the waist beyond what removing fat alone can achieve.
Using an ultrasonic device, Dr. Paulo Michels gently reshapes the angle of the three lowest ribs — a remodeling, never a removal — through the same tiny liposuction incisions, so there is no visible scar.
The result is a naturally narrower waist and a true hourglass — the proportion that reads as unmistakably feminine.
Use your own fat
Fat transfer to the buttock (BBL)
Nothing is wasted. The fat removed during liposuction can be purified and transferred to the buttocks and hips — restoring volume, softening hip dips and creating a balanced, feminine curve from the waist to the hip.
Safety is everything. Dr. Paulo Michels places the fat only in the subcutaneous plane — never into the muscle — under real-time ultrasound, the modern technique that has made the BBL far safer than its early reputation.
Because it uses your own tissue, the result feels completely natural and shapes the whole lower body, not just the buttock.
Definition with your own fat
UGRAFT — subtle, feminine definition
Beyond simply removing fat, your own purified fat can be grafted to refine the shape — adding a soft, natural fullness where it flatters and gently defining a contour where it is wanted.
In women this is used with a light hand: enough to enhance a feminine line or smooth a transition, never to build a hard, muscular look. The aim is always balance and softness.
Because it is your own tissue placed under ultrasound guidance, the result is natural, safe and long-lasting.

Recovery
What is the recovery timeline?
Because VASER is atraumatic and the ports are tiny, recovery is quicker than most expect — a compression garment shapes the result.
- First few days
Mild soreness, like an intense workout, and a little fluid drainage that settles quickly. You are up and walking the same day.
- Desk work
Most women return to desk work in about 5–7 days, depending on how physical the job is.
- Compression garment
Worn for 6–8 weeks to control swelling and help the skin retract smoothly — the most important part of aftercare.
- Exercise
Light activity builds back gradually; full training resumes at around 3–4 weeks.
- Final result
Swelling resolves and the shape refines over 3–6 months as the tissues settle.
Candidacy
Am I a good candidate?
- Stubborn areas — waist, abdomen, arms, thighs — that resist diet and training
- Close to a stable weight; this is contouring, not weight loss
- Reasonable skin quality (plasma helps moderate laxity)
- Wanting a feminine, natural shape rather than only to be smaller
- Healthy and a non-smoker, or able to stop around surgery
Good to know
What to understand first
- You choose the level of definition — from soft to athletic
- Liposuction treats subcutaneous fat, not deep visceral fat
- Plasma tightens the skin; very loose skin may still need a lift
- Your own fat can restore the buttock or refine shape
- The compression garment is essential to a smooth result
Honest risks
What to weigh
Liposuction is safe in experienced hands, with honest trade-offs: swelling and bruising that settle over weeks, temporary numbness or firmness, a small chance of contour irregularities (minimised by VASER, plasma and ultrasound), and the normal healing risks — all discussed fully at your consultation.

Investment
How is the cost determined?
Every body is different, so there is no single price. A personalised quotation follows an in-person assessment. The main factors:
- The number and size of areas treated
- Whether plasma skin tightening is included
- Whether rib remodeling or fat transfer is added
- The anaesthesia pathway, operating time and any hospital stay
- The compression garment and post-operative programme
In line with UAE medical-advertising regulations, prices are shared privately in consultation rather than published.
FAQ
Liposuction for women, answered
Will liposuction give me a hard six-pack?
Only if you want one. For most women Dr. Michels sculpts a soft, natural, feminine shape — a defined waist and a smooth abdomen — rather than hard muscle etching. The level of definition, from natural to athletic, is entirely your choice.
Which areas can be treated?
The most requested are the waist, abdomen and flanks, the back and bra line, the arms, the inner thighs and the knees. Areas can be treated alone or together, and the fat removed can be transferred to the buttock.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
No. It is body contouring, not weight loss. It removes stubborn subcutaneous fat to shape the body, best done close to a stable weight, and does not treat the deep visceral fat around the organs, which only diet and exercise reduce.
Will my skin be loose afterwards?
Not with plasma. Subdermal plasma tightens the skin from underneath as the fat is removed, so it retracts onto the new contour — smooth and firm, no loose skin. It also lets women with moderate laxity avoid skin-excision surgery.
Can liposuction narrow my waist?
Yes — and for a more defined hourglass it can be combined with minimally invasive rib remodeling, which reshapes the lower ribs (without removing them, and with no visible scar) to narrow the waist further.
Can the fat be used for a BBL?
Yes. Fat removed during liposuction can restore or enhance the buttock, placed only in the subcutaneous plane and under real-time ultrasound — the modern, safe technique.
What is the recovery like?
Most women return to desk work in about 5–7 days and to full exercise at around 3–4 weeks. A compression garment is worn for 6–8 weeks — the most important part of aftercare — and the shape refines over 3–6 months.
Are there scars?
No meaningful ones. The fat is removed through a few millimetre-sized ports placed in natural creases, which heal to near-invisible.
