Liposuction
Why choose this treatment?

Liposuction

Body contour and proportions play a defining role in overall appearance and in how we feel about ourselves. Liposuction is not intended as a weight-loss procedure; instead it removes stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise, and refines the body's natural lines.
  • Personalised treatment
  • Modern technology
  • Precise body contouring
  • Safe procedure
  • Harmonious proportions
  • Full professional support

Treatment Characteristics

Procedure type:   Liposuction
Surgery duration:   Liposuction typically takes 60–120 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.
Frequency:   Liposuction is a one-off procedure that provides lasting results. The fat cells removed do not regenerate, although maintaining the result requires a stable body weight.
Setting:   The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or, for smaller areas, under local anaesthesia, typically with a 1-day stay at the clinic.
Things to know

Useful information

  • The procedure is preceded by a detailed assessment.
  • Liposuction is performed under general anaesthesia, or under local anaesthesia for smaller areas, with excess fat removed using fine cannulas.
  • Temporary swelling, sensitivity or bruising may occur after surgery and subside gradually during recovery.
  • The fat cells removed do not regenerate, so the body contour achieved can be maintained over the long term if body weight remains stable.
  • Assessment of overall health, with laboratory tests and further investigations where required.
  • Medications must be reviewed and certain products temporarily discontinued where advised.
  • Smoking and alcohol should be avoided in the period before and after surgery.
  • A compression garment must be worn for several weeks after surgery to help the skin retract and the contour to develop.
  • Mild swelling, sensitivity and bruising may occur and subside gradually during recovery.
  • Follow-up appointments ensure that healing is monitored closely.

Liposuction is a routine, safe procedure performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. As with any surgical procedure, temporary swelling, sensitivity or bruising may occur.
