Liposuction in the UK

Liposuction is a popular cosmetic treatment carried out on men and women all over the world. The procedure involves the removal of excess fat from a particular area of the body, commonly the hips, stomach or buttocks. It has helped thousands of people get rid of unwanted pockets of fat that even diet and exercise may have been unable to address.

The liposuction procedure involves passing a metal tube into the skin to break up the fat before this fat is removed by a syringe. The procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthetic.

After surgery the patient should be able leave the hospital the same day. Recovery will require a couple of weeks off work, and strenuous activity must be avoided for at least a month. Swelling and bruising may be present in the four weeks after the procedure, and deep bruising may take over five months to completely disappear. Cosmetic surgery clinics in the UK are amongst the best in the world. There are numerous surgeons and clinics with a good reputation for carrying the liposucton procedure. Three of the best are:
