Liposuction / Fat Removal
A sensible diet and vigorous exercise don’t always shift stubborn areas of fat. Liposuction can help bring back confidence and a beautiful body shape by removing fat and reducing the number of fat cells. It helps to sculpt the body into shapes you thought were gone forever.
The Liposuction Procedure
Liposuction is performed under local or general anaesthetic. The most popular areas are the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks and knees. Through tiny incisions in the skin a hollow metal tube is used to break up the fat beneath the skin. It is then removed by a syringe or vacuum pump. Ultrasound waves or an injection of fluid can also be used to break up the fat.

How long does it take?
Approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the technique and the extent of the surgery.
What happens after surgery?
Dependant on the type of work you do and how many areas of liposuction you have had you will need between a week to two weeks off work. A liposuction support garment will need to be worn for a few weeks after surgery.
