Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat cells from targeted areas of your body using a controlled suction technique. It is designed to reshape and contour rather than act as a method of weight loss.
You may consider liposuction if you are close to your ideal weight but have areas of fat that are resistant to lifestyle changes. By removing these fat cells, the procedure can create a smoother, more balanced body contour.
At Winterbourne Hospital, liposuction techniques are selected carefully to achieve natural-looking results while prioritising safety and precision.
In some cases, liposuction may be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance overall results.
This might include body contouring or skin tightening procedures, particularly if there is excess or loose skin. Combining treatments can sometimes provide a more comprehensive outcome.
Your surgeon will advise whether this approach is appropriate for you and ensure any combined procedures are planned safely.
The cost of liposuction depends on various factors, including the number of areas being treated, the complexity of the procedure and the level of aftercare required.
You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
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 can be used to target a range of areas where fat tends to accumulate.
Common treatment areas include:
Each area is approached individually to ensure a balanced and natural result. Your surgeon will assess your anatomy and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Liposuction is typically performed under general anaesthetic, although smaller procedures may be carried out under local anaesthetic.
During the procedure, small incisions are made in discreet locations. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted to gently break up and remove fat cells using suction. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are closed and compression garments are applied.
The procedure usually takes between one and three hours, depending on the areas treated. You will be cared for by an experienced surgical team in a fully equipped hospital setting.
Liposuction is considered safe when performed by an experienced surgeon in a regulated clinical environment.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including swelling, bruising, infection and temporary changes in sensation. At Winterbourne Hospital, thorough pre-operative assessments are carried out to ensure you are suitable for surgery and to minimise risks.
Your surgeon will discuss all risks and benefits clearly so you can make a fully informed decision.
Liposuction is not right for everyone. Your consultant will explain whether the procedure is right for you depending on your individual circumstances.
You may benefit from liposuction if you have stubborn areas of fat that remain despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. These areas are often resistant to exercise and weight loss.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. You are usually advised to be at or near a stable weight before surgery to achieve the best and most long-lasting results.
Good skin elasticity is important, as liposuction does not tighten loose or excess skin. Your surgeon will assess whether your skin is likely to adapt well following fat removal.
You should be in generally good health and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve. Your suitability will always be assessed carefully during consultation.
Recovery from liposuction is gradual and varies depending on the extent of your procedure.
You can expect some swelling, bruising and mild discomfort in the first few weeks. Most patients are able to return to light activities within a few days and resume work within one to two weeks.
Compression garments are worn to support healing and help your body adjust to its new shape. Your care team will provide clear aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your recovery.
You may begin to notice changes in your body shape within a few weeks as swelling starts to reduce. However, your final results will develop over several months as your body continues to heal.
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from treated areas, meaning those areas will remain slimmer provided you maintain a stable weight. Many patients find their clothes fit better and feel more confident in their appearance after treatment.
Your surgeon will discuss realistic expectations with you so you understand what results can be achieved.
