Over 1000 cases of Liposuction

Dr John Barrett of Palm Clinic is one of the most experienced liposuction practitioners in New Zealand having performed over 1000 cases of liposculpture to virtually every part of the body.

Dr John Barrett of Palm Clinic is one of the most experienced liposuction practitioners in New Zealand having performed over 1000 cases of liposculpture to virtually every part of the body.

The most common areas for women are abdomen, hips, thighs and breast reduction.  For men the most common areas are abdomen, love handles and chest.

Liposculpture is a type of liposuction performed under a special type of local anaesthetic called tumescent anaesthetic.  The main advantage of this technique is increased safety (no general anaesthetic) and a much greater ability to sculpture the body.  Because you are awake (although sedated) Dr Barrett can move you around so that he can truly sculpt your body to the best possible contour.  You are usually able to return to work on day three and only need to wear garments for 3 days.
