Liposuction

LIPOSUCTION

Liposuction is typically carried out under general anaesthetic, and occasionally, an epidural may be used if the work is being carried out on the lower areas of the body. 

We understand that dieting and exercise don’t always achieve the results that we want from our bodies, and we can have areas that are really challenging to change or improve. This can be down to genetics, health, lifestyle, age and more. Prospective patients come and see us to discuss Liposuction for all areas of the body including the stomach, torso, bottom, hips, legs, arms and, very commonly too, male breasts. All areas are easily treatable by Liposuction, or spot fat reduction, and this common, versatile technique can provide our patients with REAL, achievable results if they are unhappy with their current shape / figure.

Although Liposuction may be a solution for some, we do not advise it as an alternative to dieting, a healthy lifestyle or exercising. Only when all else fails should it be considered. To be an ideal candidate for Liposuction, you should be over 18 and in general good health. Diet and exercise regimes must have been tried first, before identifying the last 10 or 15 pounds that may persist in certain pockets on the body. In older patients, skin becomes less elastic, reducing its ability to readily tighten around the new shape. If this is the case, other procedures can help enhance the final look such as an abdominoplasty.
