About the procedure
Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat from selected areas using a cannula. It can reshape regions such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs, but is not a treatment for obesity.
Your consultation
The consultation considers fat distribution, skin elasticity and weight changes. The surgeon explains what the procedure can change and when excess skin may limit the result.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Controlled removal of fat from the agreed areas through small incisions.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and bruising can temporarily obscure the new contour. Care, compression garments and returning to movement are planned around the areas treated.
What to consider
Irregularities, asymmetry, scars and remaining skin laxity need discussion. Surgery does not replace weight management or correct every skin concern.

Liposuction or a tummy tuck?
Liposuction reduces localised fat. A tummy tuck can remove excess skin and address structures of the abdominal wall after assessment.
How many areas can be treated together?
The plan depends on the extent of surgery and your health. The consultation establishes whether a single procedure or separate stages would be appropriate.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
