The best candidates for liposuction are patients with a relatively normal body weight, who have pockets of stubborn fat in particular areas. Potential liposuction patients should have realistic expectations and understand that liposuction is not an alternative to weight loss

Liposuction is only a method of removing localized fat, which cannot be lost through dieting or exercise, further, liposuction will only remove fat, it cannot eliminate dimpling of the skin caused by cellulite.

The crucial first step to be taken before any decision is made before liposuction is a personal consultation with an experienced and licensed cosmetic surgeon.

Good health is a natural prerequisite before any surgery. It should be noted that the total amount of fat removed at any time during liposuction should not be in excess of 2.5L to avoid any complications of the general state of health.
When the fat tissue is more extensive, the liposuction procedure can be repeatedly at 6 to 12 monthly intervals

The ideal age for liposuction is between 18 to 45 years. This is because contractility and elasticity of the skin are vital for successful results. Older patients may experience excellent results in terms of reducing the volume of fatty tissue, but the risk of small subcutaneous uneven patches is increased.

Before Liposuction Surgery

Before liposuction takes place, the cosmetic surgeon measures the amount of fat deposits while the patient is standing and marks the more extensive areas of fat deposits on the patient’s skin with a pen.
The liposuction cosmetic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia.
The small liposuction tool used to remove fatty tissue, called a canylla, is inserted under the skin through small incisions 4 to 6 mm in length in the least visible locations.
The fat deposits are then reduced with suction provided by a vacuum pump

The thickness of the fat layer and the elasticity of the skin are monitored throughout the entire process to determine how much fat can be removed and to ensure symmetry after the surgery.
The small cuts to the skin are sutured with just one or two stitches and surgical tape.
Immediately after liposuction, patients are dressed in elastic compressive pants or garments.

The liposuction procedure takes approximately one hour, depending on the amount of fat to be removed.

After Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction patients stay overnight in the clinic and are usually released the next morning from the clinic.

Rest is recommended for 3 to 4 days after the procedure. Any walking should be restricted to essential needs only (toilet, bathroom, eating).

Later on mild and gradual load is possible. Unrestricted physical activity may be resumed roughly four weeks after the liposuction surgery.

After liposuction, there will be some pain and the patient may feel some discomfort or numbness to the areas that liposuction was performed on. Bruising will also occur on these areas.

Liposuction cosmetic surgery patients should keep their elastic pants or other garments on for three days after the procedure. On the fourth day, they can remove the pants and take a shower. Immediately after the shower the elastic pants should be put on again. During the first month after the surgery, the elastic pants can be taken off only for the time needed for personal hygiene and care.

Sutures are removed on the 7th to 10th days after liposuction. Massage the areas the liposuction has been performed on with a roller several times a day; this technique will be tought during the suture removal.

Liposuction Surgery Frequently asked questions

>> Is Liposuction an alternative to weight loss?

Liposuction is not an alternative to dieting and exercise to lose weight. Actually very little weight is removed by liposuction, as it is a technique to remove localized collections of fat; typically, stubborn areas of fat which do not respond to diet and exercise.
Ideally you should be close to your ideal weight. Liposuction can then be considered to refine and smooth out any resistant localized problem areas

>> Can liposuction tighten loose skin?

Liposuction does not help loose skin, it removes extra fat only. When skin has good elasticity, it shrinks nicely after liposuction cosmetic surgery. The combination of fat and loose skin are better managed by operations such as a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), thigh lift, arm lift, or face / neck lift.

>> How do I prepare for cosmetic surgery?

Cigarette smoking can slow down the healing process, so please stop at least 2 weeks before your all surgery.

>> Liposuction for men

Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular with men. Liposuction can be used to remove stubborn areas of fat, most commonly on the chest, chin and stomach. It is ideal for removing unwanted fat on the male chest area. This can be performed from as little as £1350.00.
