What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a minimally-invasive procedure that removes localised excess fat deposits for a lean, toned figure. It is ideal for individuals who have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise but still struggle with resistant pockets of fat cells.
Which areas can you have liposuction surgery on?
Liposuction for a trimmer appearance can target areas such as the:
- Abdomen and stomach,
- Inner and outer thighs,
- Hips,
- Buttocks,
- Arms,
- Back,
- Chin.
What are the different types of liposuction procedures available?
There are several main types of liposuction technique to remove subcutaneous fat:
Traditional Liposuction: Where small incisions are made to the area and a cannula is used to suction out the fat.
Tumescent Liposuction: This technique involves injecting a tumescent solution into the target area. The solution contains lidocaine and epinephrine which swell your fat cells, making them easier to remove.
Vaser Liposuction: This method uses ultrasound and sound waves for body fat removal.
Laser liposuction: Uses lasers to melt fat you wish to have removed.

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?
Ideal candidates for liposuction are generally healthy individuals who have good skin elasticity and are close to their ideal healthy weight. Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment or a substitute for a healthier lifestyle, but rather a body sculpting procedure, so you need to have realistic expectations.

Depending on your specific needs and goals, there may be other procedures that can address your concerns or remove unwanted fat. These options can be discussed during your consultation and may include:
Traditional, Tumescent or Vaser liposuction are just a few of your options when it comes to sculpting your body for a toned, trim appearance.

Pre-Consultation
Before undergoing liposuction, we provide a thorough pre-consultation with a doctor assistant to understand your goals and assess if you are a good candidate. Our experienced team will evaluate your overall health, discuss your expectations, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. This consultation is an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Surgery Consultation and Procedures
- A GP Referral will be mandatory for all patients having a consultation for surgery.
- A minimum of TWO consultations are required for liposuction surgery.
- A cooling-off period of at least seven days after signing a form before booking surgery and paying a deposit.
- Patients can only sign a consent form after the second consultation.
- All patients must complete a questionnaire to exclude BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder). If the answers indicate there is a possibility of such a disorder, the patients must be referred to a psychiatrist or a psychologist to check if they have BDD.
- The first consultation must be preferably a Face to Face with the doctor who is going to do the procedure. The second one can be online.

The liposuction procedure
During liposuction, you will have a local anaesthesia, light sedation or a general anaesthetic (depending on what area of fatty tissue is being targeted) to ensure your comfort. Our surgeons will carefully perform the surgery by making tiny incisions and a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted to suction out the excess fat.
Recovery and aftercare
You will be given specific post-operative instructions by your liposuction surgeon to follow, such as wearing a compression garment and taking pain relief. It is important to follow all post-operative guidelines provided by our team to ensure optimal healing and results.
You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these effects will subside over time. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery period, healing and results.
The risks and complications of liposuction
Any surgical procedure has some risks or potential complications. With lipo those are:
- infection,
- bleeding,
- contour irregularities, or

Frequently Asked Questions
Read through our FAQs to find out more about liposuction and how it can help you achieve a trim, toned figure.
How much fat is removed with liposuction?
Liposuction is not primarily a weight loss procedure, but rather a method to improve your natural shape and body contour. The amount of fat removed during liposuction varies depending on individual factors and the areas being treated.
How much fat is removed with liposuction?
Liposuction is not primarily a weight loss procedure, but rather a method to improve your natural shape and body contour. The amount of fat removed during liposuction varies depending on individual factors and the areas being treated.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery time after liposuction varies depending on the extent of the procedure, area targeted and individual healing factors. Most liposuction patients can resume light activity after a few days and return to their regular work and exercise within a couple of weeks.
Do I need to be a certain weight to have liposuction?
While liposuction can be performed on individuals of different body weights, it is generally recommended that you be at or near your ideal weight. Liposuction is not designed to help loose weight, but rather a procedure that targets specific areas of fat for a leaner, tighter figure.
Can I have multiple areas treated at one time?
Yes, it is often possible to have multiple areas treated during a single liposuction procedure. The feasibility and safety of treating multiple areas simultaneously will be determined by your surgeon based on factors such as the extent of treatment required and your overall health.
How can I maintain my liposuction results?
Maintaining liposuction results involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. It is essential to maintain a stable weight and follow any post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
Does fat return after liposuction?
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas. However, it is still possible to gain weight and have fat accumulate in other parts of the body if proper diet and exercise are not maintained.
Will pregnancy undo the results of my liposuction?
Pregnancy can impact the results of liposuction as weight gain and hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect body shape and fat distribution. It is generally recommended to postpone liposuction until after babies.
How much scarring will I have after liposuction?
Liposuction typically involves small incisions that are strategically placed and generally result in minimal scarring.
Will I have loose skin after liposuction?
Liposuction removes excess fat and can sometimes lead to mild skin tightening. However, if you have significant skin laxity, you may develop some saggy skin after your procedure.
Are there any alternatives to liposuction?
Yes, there are alternative non-surgical fat reduction treatments available, such as cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting), laser lipolysis, and ultrasound-assisted fat reduction.
Will liposuction get rid of my cellulite?
Liposuction is not designed to eliminate cellulite. While it may improve the appearance of cellulite in some cases, its primary purpose is to remove excess fat and contour the body, not to smooth skin.
Do I need more than one session?
In most cases you will need only one session of lipo. However, on occasion others may be needed. At your first consultation your surgeon will discuss this with you.
Is liposuction best for belly fat?
Abdominal liposuction can be an effective option for reducing stubborn belly fat and achieving a more contoured abdominal area. However, it is essential to consult with a skilled surgeon who can evaluate your specific needs and determine the most suitable approach for you
Should I have liposuction or a tummy tuck procedure?
Liposuction and tummy tucks serve different purposes. Liposuction targets localised fat deposits and contours specific areas, whilst tummy tucks remove excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles. The choice between the two will depend on your individual concerns, body shape, and the advice of a qualified surgeon.
Does health insurance cover liposuction?
In most cases, liposuction is considered an elective cosmetic procedure and is not covered by health insurance. However, it is advisable to consult with your insurance provider to determine if there are any exceptions or coverage options available.
Can I have liposuction during another plastic surgery operation?
Liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures, such as tummy tucks or breast lift surgeries. You will need to discuss this with your plastic surgeon, so they can tailor treatment to meet your goals.
