Liposuction at the Liposuction Institute, Auckland

We Don't Do Everything. We Do Liposuction

The Liposuction Institute is a purpose-built liposuction facility in New Zealand. Dr Ron Goedeke performs liposuction 4 days per week, in our own theatre, under local and intravenous anaesthetic. He performs about 200 procedures per year. He doesn’t perform tummy tucks, breast augmentation, or facelifts. If your case calls for one of those, he refers you to a plastic surgeon.

Every piece of equipment, every member of staff, every protocol in this clinic is designed for one outcome: a safe, comfortable, accurate liposuction result.

Lipoedema treatment at the Liposuction Institute, Auckland

Lipoedema treatment in New Zealand

Lipoedema is a chronic condition that causes painful, disproportionate fat accumulation in the buttocks, legs, and often arms. It affects 10 to 15% of women, almost always goes undiagnosed for years, and doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.

The Liposuction Institute is one of the few clinics in New Zealand running a structured lipoedema treatment programme. We use water-assisted and Klein tumescent liposuction techniques specifically suited to lipoedema fat, combined with hormonal and inflammatory reduction support throughout recovery.

If you’ve been told to “just lose weight” but your legs haven’t changed, this might be why.

Have Questions? We Are Here to Help You

What happens, from consultation to recovery

01

Consultation

A focused 30-minute consultation to discuss your goals, treatment areas, and create a personalised procedure plan.

02

Preparation

Two weeks of pre-operative preparation including bloodwork and Vitamin D optimisation to support recovery.

03

Procedure

A 2-hour to 4-hour procedure performed under local anaesthetic and intravenous sedation, with same-day discharge for comfort and convenience.

04

Recovery

Recovery begins from day one, with most patients returning to desk work within 4 to 7 days.

Skin tightening at the same time, with Renuvion

Liposuction removes fat. It doesn’t tighten the skin underneath. Renuvion uses helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to contract the connective tissue under your skin, performed in the same session through the same incisions. Tightening continues for up to six months.

During The Procedure

After Surgery
