Description

As a surgical body contouring technique, liposuction is intended for the removal of unwanted fat from specific areas of the body. This is usually with the intention of improving the contour of these areas quickly and without major complication. The areas commonly selected for this surgery are:

Thighs
Hips
Waist
Abdomen
Saddlebags
Arms
Neck

There may be a range of different factors in your decision to undergo liposuction. However, the liposuction areas above are typically ones where people have difficulty getting rid of fat through exercise and dieting. As a result, our liposuction solutions can be offered as a one-off targeted treatment or as part a long term strategy to address the shape of your body.

What’s involved in a liposuction procedure?

Typically carried out under general anaesthetic or liposuction local anaesthetic, the first step before the surgery is for patients to have a consultation with their surgeon to discuss what will happen and any potential complications. Prior to the procedure, the surgeon will mark the areas on the body where fat will be removed. The process then generally follows this order:

The area chosen for fat removal is injected with a solution designed to reduce blood loss, swelling, and bruising.
A small incision is made in the skin, through which a tube is inserted. This tube is attached to a vacuum machine that is used to extract the fat.
Any other incisions are made if necessary due to the size of the area.
During the process, the suction tube will be moved back and forth to loosen the fat and ensure proper extraction.
Excess blood and fluids are drained.
The affected area is treated and, if required, stitched up. Occasionally a small wound may be left open to allow fluid drainage and will seal up in its own time.

Typically, the entire procedure takes 1-3 hours. Although this will vary depending on what you want to achieve, along with other health factors. Our medical experts will be happy to discuss any concerns you might have regarding liposuction surgery, including the liposuction cost.

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.

How can liposuction improve your appearance?

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 feel more confident in their body.

Who is suitable for this type of surgery?

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.

What happens during a liposuction procedure?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves fat being sucked out of the body and can take place in our clinic 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.

What is the recovery like?

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 initially 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.

How long do the results of liposuction last?

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.
