Reshape and refine stubborn areas of fat with liposuction surgery

You may find that certain areas of fat remain despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise routine. Fat distribution can be influenced by genetics, hormones, and body composition, meaning some areas remain resistant to change despite a healthy diet and lifestyle.

The cost of your surgery will depend on various factors, including the details of the procedure and which consultant you choose. We’ll give you a full itemised quote before you book.
Liposuction is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and will rarely be covered by private medical insurance, though you can check with your provider.
Most people pay for their own liposuction, and our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes targeted areas of excess fat to help improve shape and definition. The treatment is designed to address stubborn fat deposits that may remain even if you exercise regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Rather than focusing on weight reduction, liposuction is intended to refine specific areas of the body and create smoother, more balanced contours. It is often most effective if you are already near your ideal weight but would like help treating areas that have not responded to diet or physical activity.
Your procedure may be carried out under local or general anaesthesia depending on the size and number of treatment areas. During surgery, your consultant makes small incisions in carefully selected locations to help minimise visible scarring.
A slim surgical instrument called a cannula is inserted beneath the skin to loosen and remove fat cells using controlled suction. This allows your surgeon to carefully sculpt the treatment area and create a more refined overall appearance.
Whether liposuction is suitable for you will depend on your individual goals, body shape, skin quality, and general health. During your consultation, your consultant will assess whether the procedure is likely to help you achieve the outcome you are hoping for.
You may consider liposuction if you have localised fat deposits that remain despite healthy eating habits and regular exercise. These areas are often influenced by genetics and can be difficult to reduce naturally.
Liposuction is not designed as a treatment for obesity or significant weight loss. You are usually advised to be close to a stable and healthy weight before surgery to help achieve the best long-term outcome.
Good skin elasticity can help your skin adapt more effectively following fat removal. Liposuction does not remove loose skin, so your surgeon will assess whether your skin is likely to tighten naturally after treatment.
You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve. Your consultant will discuss the potential benefits, limitations, and expected results during your assessment at The Beardwood Hospital.
Your initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns, treatment goals, and the areas you would like to improve. Your consultant surgeon will review your medical history, lifestyle, and expectations for surgery.
During the appointment, your surgeon will examine the areas you are considering for treatment and explain what results may realistically be achieved based on your anatomy and skin quality.
You will also receive detailed information about:
Your consultation is designed to help you feel fully informed and confident before making any decisions about surgery. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss whether liposuction is the right option for your goals.
You may begin to notice improvements in body contour within the first few weeks after liposuction as swelling starts to reduce. At this stage, the treated areas may already appear slimmer and more defined, although your final results will continue to develop gradually.
As healing progresses, swelling continues to settle and the contours of the treated areas become more refined. This process takes time, and it is normal for changes to appear gradually over several months rather than immediately after surgery.
Most people see their final results between three and six months after the procedure, although recovery timelines vary depending on the extent of treatment and your individual healing response.
Your surgeon will explain what you can expect throughout recovery and provide guidance on how to support healing and achieve the best possible outcome.
The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently removed from the treated areas, which means the results can be long lasting when supported by a stable lifestyle and healthy weight management.
However, although treated fat cells do not return, your body can still store fat in the remaining fat cells if your weight increases after surgery. This may affect your overall body shape and alter your results over time.
You may also notice weight gain appearing in areas that were not treated during surgery.
Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise routine, and consistent weight can help preserve your results for the long term. During your consultation at The Beardwood Hospital, your surgeon will explain how lifestyle habits may influence your outcome after treatment.
Maintaining a stable weight after liposuction can help you preserve your new body contours and support long-term results. While liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas, ongoing healthy lifestyle habits remain important after surgery.
Working with a dietitian can help you develop sustainable eating habits and realistic routines that support both your recovery and your long-term wellbeing. You may receive personalised advice tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals.
Nutritional support may include guidance on:
Rather than focusing on restrictive dieting, the aim is to help you build a sustainable and manageable approach to nutrition that fits into your everyday life.
