Liposuction at Oshun is performed by Dr. Charles Rockhead — a surgical body-contouring procedure that removes localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Performed under tumescent local or general anaesthetic depending on volume, with one to two weeks recovery before return to normal activity.

Questions answered privately
Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.
Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Liposuction plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.
Every Liposuction patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.
Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.
Most first-time patients arrive with the same set of unspoken questions. They are answered below in the order most people think them — from "how much will I need" to "what if I'm pregnant."
Liposuction is a surgical body-contouring procedure that removes localised fat deposits using a thin hollow cannula connected to a suction device. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss treatment.
The honest version
Why liposuction sometimes disappoints.
Liposuction disappoints when it's treated as a weight-loss procedure, when too much is removed in one session, or when the skin can't retract over the contoured area.
Liposuction removes fat — it does not tighten skin or address loose tissue. Patients with significant skin laxity who undergo liposuction sometimes end up with a contour they like but with skin that hangs over it. The right answer for those patients is often a combined liposuction-plus-skin-excision plan, or sometimes excisional surgery (abdominoplasty, brachioplasty) alone.
The other common failure mode is using liposuction as weight loss. Patients arriving 20 kg above their goal weight expecting liposuction to bridge the gap rarely get what they hoped for — large-volume removal carries higher risk and lower aesthetic precision. The patients who consistently get great results are within 5–10% of their stable healthy weight.
At Oshun, we don't run that model. Liposuction here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.
Every liposuction case at Oshun is planned and performed by Dr. Rockhead personally, in collaboration with the anaesthesia team. The same physician who marks your contour at the morning of surgery is the one who performs the procedure, sees you in recovery, and reviews your healing at every post-op visit.
Dr. Charles Rockhead, Medical Director — Oshun Cosmetic Services, Kingston.
Medical Director · Board-Certified OB/GYN · 30+ years of practice
Dr. Charles Rockhead is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with more than thirty years of practice in Kingston. He is the Medical Director of Oshun Cosmetic Services and the founding physician of Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice.
A Liposuction visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.
Before any Liposuction is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.
Stop blood thinners (NSAIDs, aspirin, fish oil) for 7–10 days before surgery where medically safe. Stop smoking for at least 4 weeks before and after. Pre-op labs and medical clearance are arranged in the week before.
After anaesthesia is set up, tumescent fluid (saline with dilute lidocaine and epinephrine) is infiltrated into the target areas. Dr. Rockhead makes small (3–5 mm) entry incisions and uses thin cannulas to aspirate the fat in controlled passes across the contoured zones. Incisions are typically closed with a single suture or steri-strips.
A compression garment is worn 24/7 for the first 2 weeks, then daytime only for another 2–4 weeks. Light walking from day 1; no heavy lifting or intense exercise for 4 weeks. Manual lymphatic drainage massage from day 5–7 helps reduce swelling. Wound check at day 2–3, suture check at 1 week, swelling and contour review at 6 weeks, and final outcome assessment at 3 months.
Some shape change is visible within a week as swelling drops. Most of the contour is visible by 6 weeks. Final result evaluated at 3–6 months as residual swelling fully resolves.
Liposuction isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.
The classic indication is a patient at or near goal weight with a persistent lower-abdominal contour that doesn't respond to diet or core work. A focused abdomen-and-flank case at goal weight produces durable contour with minimal recovery.
After pregnancy and breastfeeding finish, some women have stable weight but a new distribution they don't recognise. If skin tone is preserved, liposuction alone restores the prior contour. If skin laxity is significant, a combined plan with abdominoplasty is discussed.
Some patients have a fuller chin and neckline regardless of overall weight — usually a genetic distribution. Submental liposuction is a small office-based case with very fast recovery; the result is permanent.
Patients who want flanks, abdomen, and outer thighs addressed are usually best served by a staged plan: one session for the upper-body areas, a second 6 months later for the lower body, with safety constraints respected at each stage.
