What is liposuction surgery?
Liposuction surgery aims to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is quite often performed on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, and arms. The surgery involves making small incisions in the targeted area and inserting a cannula to suction out the fat. The procedure can be performed under local or general anaesthetic depending on the extent of the surgery.
-
Who is liposuction surgery suitable for?
Liposuction surgery may be recommended for individuals who are at a stable weight and have good overall health. It may be performed in isolation for patients with specific fat deposits, or in conjunction with other procedures for optimal results.

What happens at your first liposuction surgery appointment?
Jonathan will evaluate your overall health and examine the areas you want to target for fat removal, with a view to assessing your suitability for the procedure. He will explain the liposuction procedure, take measurements and ask if you have any questions.
-
How painful is liposuction surgery?
Before the surgery, you’ll receive local or general anaesthetic. After the surgery, you may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising in the treated area, but this can be managed with pain medication.
-
What’s the average duration of liposuction surgery?
Liposuction surgery usually takes 30-60 minutes to complete. However, more extensive procedures may take longer. It is important to note that the duration of the surgery does not include the time spent in pre-operative preparations or post-operative recovery. Jonathan will be able to give you more specific details when he examines you prior to your surgery appointment.
-
How will I look after my liposuction surgery?
After undergoing liposuction, you should see a reduction in the amount of fat in the treated areas. However, the results of liposuction take time and are not often visible straight away, due to the fluid infiltrated to allow fat removal, and swelling. The final outcome will take several months to fully manifest.
-
Are there any risks associated with liposuction surgery?
Potential risks include infection, scarring, changes in skin sensation, and uneven or lumpy skin texture. Jonathan will talk to you about all possible risk factors when you have your liposuction consultation.
Liposuction
Body
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that aims to remove stubborn pockets of excess fat from various areas of the body. This procedure often supplements other surgical procedures and may target excess fat in the abdomen, thighs, flanks (love handles) hips, arms, and buttocks (banana roll). It is a procedure that reshapes and contours specific areas of the body.
What happens during liposuction surgery?
During liposuction surgery, a small incision is made in the targeted area, and fluid is infiltrated to make fat removal easier. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted and a back and forth motion used to break up the fat cells and suction them out through the cannula. You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with over the counter pain medication.

Book Consultation“I went for what I thought was a consultation, had to have a mole removed and booked in for 40 mins later over and done with in 10 mins. Kept informed of what was happening at all time by both the dermatologist and the plastic surgeon. I would thoroughly recommend.”
