Liposuction

For a lot of people losing weight, toning up and achieving the figure they want requires a combination of healthy eating and regular exercise, but some can be left with stubborn pockets of fat that no amount of exercise or dieting can shift. Liposuction surgery, also known as fat removal surgery, is designed to help remove these areas of fat and reshape particular areas of the body - remember it is not designed to be a quick weight loss tool!

• Arms
• Inner and Outer Thighs
• Chin
• Stomach (or Abdomen)
• Hips
• Knees

Procedure

Liposuction or fat removal surgery is performed either under general anaesthetic or under local anaesthetic with sedation, and is often treated as a day case, meaning you will not have to stay in hospital overnight.

The procedure usually takes between one and two hours to complete depending on the area being treated and how much fat is being removed. Your surgeon will make a small incision in the area being treated before inserting a thin plastic tube called a cannula.

The other end of this cannula is attached to a powerful vacuum device which removes the fat quickly and efficiently. You will need to book in for consultation where your BMI (body mass index) will be assessed to ensure the procedure is suitable for you.

If you are very overweight it is likely that you will not be suitable for liposuction as there are physical limits to the amount of fat that can safely be removed from the body. Liposuction is a procedure best suited for body sculpting rather than weight loss.
