Signature procedure

Lot Liposuction®

A three-step method combining double-suction extraction with hand-finished contouring — our Royal Triple protocol.

STEP 01

Double-suction extraction

Layered suction removes fat evenly across deep and superficial planes to reduce contour irregularity.

STEP 02

Hand-finished contouring

The surgeon refines the surface by hand for a smooth, natural silhouette rather than a machine-only pass.

STEP 03

Royal Triple finishing

Careful finishing of remaining fat aims at a smoother, cleaner body line.

Why Royal Line

One surgeon, one standard, from consult to follow-up.

Director-led, 1:1 care

Your consultation, surgery and review are handled by the same director — not delegated.

Safety-informed protocol

High-volume and full-body cases follow safety principles consistent with the ASPS Practice Advisory on liposuction — anaesthesia, volume and monitoring.

Proprietary technique

Lot Liposuction® and the Royal Triple protocol are refined in-house and trademark-registered.
