Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the overall volume of the tummy, as well as other areas such as the neck, and arms. LASE Cosmetic offer modern liposuction surgery techniques to help you feel your most confident self, complete with a post-surgery plan.
Liposuction is a consultant-led surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat from specific areas of the body. It is commonly used to reduce volume in areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, arms, and neck, where fat can be resistant to diet and exercise.
What Liposuction Can Do for You
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Instead, it is intended to improve body shape by removing unwanted fat from targeted areas. The goal is to refine contour and proportion, rather than to significantly reduce overall body weight.
Modern liposuction techniques allow surgeons to treat specific areas with accuracy, focusing on fat reduction while preserving surrounding structures. Outcomes depend on individual anatomy, skin quality, and the areas being treated.
Areas commonly treated
Liposuction can be used on several parts of the body. Areas most commonly selected include:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Hips
- Thighs
- Saddlebags
- Arms
- Neck
These areas are often chosen because fat deposits here may persist despite regular exercise and dietary changes.
Considerations and suitability
Liposuction is sometimes met with scepticism, often due to misunderstandings about what the procedure can and cannot achieve. A consultation allows for an open discussion about suitability, limitations, and realistic outcomes.
Factors that may influence whether liposuction is appropriate include:
- Distribution of fat
- Skin elasticity
- Overall health
- Personal goals for body contouring
The procedure may be offered as a one-off, targeted treatment or considered as part of a longer-term approach to body shape management.
Recovery and aftercare
Recovery following liposuction varies depending on the extent of treatment and the areas involved. Swelling and bruising are common initially, with gradual changes in contour becoming more noticeable over time.
At LASE Cosmetic, we’ll provide you with a structured aftercare plan to help you manage any discomfort and heal.
Consultation and decision-making
A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss body contouring surgery in detail, including which areas may be suitable for treatment and what outcomes can reasonably be expected. Information is provided clearly and without pressure, allowing time to consider options carefully before deciding whether to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Making the decision to undergo surgical procedures can be a difficult one, and there are many questions you may have. Please read the frequently asked questions below which may answer any queries or ease any concerns you may have.
Surgical fat removal can help to create a smoother shape. It’s a method of body contouring surgery that has proved reliable for patients seeking to remove excess and uneven fat.
This type of body contouring surgery is most commonly requested by patients seeking to transform their silhouette. Both male and female patients visit the clinic to discuss liposuction, and we can help adults of all ages. A consultation is essential to establish whether this is the most appropriate fat reduction procedure for you.
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves fat being removed from the body and takes place in our operating theatre. Your surgeon, who you meet before undergoing any form of cosmetic surgery, places a cannula under the skin and carefully takes fat from the specific areas of the body.
Body contouring surgery times vary between patients. It depends on the area being treated and how much fat is due to be removed. Some patients also combine liposuction with other body rejuvenation procedures including tummy tucks and liposculpture.
Often this is a day case procedure. You will notice some swelling and bruising, which is normal, and painkillers can be prescribed to manage any discomfort.
Patients are given full aftercare information, including when it’s likely you can return to work. On average, patients usually take around four weeks to recover but this varies patient to patient. The swelling and bruising can last for some weeks after this, and it’s good to be prepared for that.
Once fat cells are removed from an area, they cannot return, but you need to maintain a good diet and exercise in order to maintain your body. You will still gain and lose weight in other areas, for example.
At LASE Cosmetic, we offer a range of body contouring procedures such as large volume liposuction and tummy tuck, and we have a team of plastic surgeons ready to treat you. If you decide to go ahead with liposuction, your surgeon will offer you trustworthy advice on how best to book fat removal surgery.
