Liposuction (Lipoplasty) - FAQs
Who will liposuction benefit?
Liposuction is not a procedure suitable for losing weight the
‘quick and easy way’ – there’s no such thing. Instead liposuction
is a highly effective method of removing stubborn pockets of fat
that cannot be toned up via exercise and a healthy diet.
Liposuction will change shape, not weight.
Though liposuction is considered unsuitable for obese patients
(see obesity surgery), it is useful for
those looking to kick start a body contouring programme. Call us or
use our online form to arrange your free
consultation and see if you are suitable for liposuction.
How is liposuction done?
There are two different types of lipoplasty, though the
procedure overall is commonly referred to liposuction. Liposuction
actually refers to a procedure using small tube is inserted into
the affected area and the fat is broken up and then sucked out.
Liposculpture refers to a technique that uses a syringe to remove
fat. The incision required is smaller, and is therefore less
invasive.
How long will liposuction take?
Liposuction requires general anaesthetic, so an overnight stay
is required in the comfortable surroundings of your local clinic.
Liposculpture normally (but not always) requires just local
anaesthetic, so you can normally go home the same day. Your patient
care co-ordinator can discuss these requirements with you at your
free consultation. Find your local Transform
clinic and book a consultation
here.
What results can I expect from liposuction?
You can expect a slimmer, more toned facial or bodily area that
you can feel more confident about. Browse

How long is the recovery period from liposuction?
Liposuction is a very straightforward
procedure although we wuld recommend not undergoing any
strenuous activity for 3-4 weeks after your surgery. Often
you will also be prescribed support bandages for a a few days to
aid recovery and promote shrinkage of the tissue.
Are there any after effects to liposuction?
It is normal to experience soreness in the
operative area after surgery for 2-3 weeks.
Aside from normal, post-surgery discomfort, you should not
experience side effects from liposuction. If anything abnormal is
happening, you are encouraged to get in touch with the clinic as
soon as possible so we can see if there is any problem is and, if
so, put it right straight away.
We offer a comprehensive and extensive post-operative care
programme, which includes detailed post-operative instructions and
follow-up appointments with your surgeon at your local Transform
clinic to ensure a speedy recovery, all at no additional cost.

aftercare programme here.
Are there risks associated with liposuction?
Transform has performed more cosmetic surgery than any other
provider in the UK. As such, we are extremely experienced; there is
no provider better placed to help you become more confident through
cosmetic surgery. However, as with all operations, there are some
risks associated with liposuction. Your surgeon can help put you at
ease regarding any worries you may have. You can talk through these
concerns at your free consultation.
Can I combine liposuction with other treatments?
Many people who undergo liposuction or liposculpture like to
combine it with other complimentary procedures to different effect.
If you are interested in body sculpting procedures, you might like
to explore tummy tuck surgery, buttock implants, calf
implants, arm or thigh lift surgery. If you would like to lose
weight, rather than body sculpt, explore our obesity surgery. If you are considering
liposuction because of an impending wedding, you may be interested
in our pre-wedding package, which comprises liposuction, Botox and breast
enlargement.
How much does liposuction cost?
Liposuction costs from £2700 for 1 area. Here at Transform,
we don’t see why finance should be a barrier to your happiness;
that’s why we offer 12 months’ 0% interest free credit for eye lift
surgery. Find out more about flexible finance
options.
How do I arrange to have liposuction?
The first step towards undergoing liposuction is to book a free
consultation with a member of our friendly, expert team. At a
consultation, you can expect to see a patient care co-ordinator,
with whom you will have plenty of opportunities to ask any
questions you may have about the procedure. The consultation will
take around 30 mins, during which time you will not be given the
‘hard sell’. No pressure will be put on you to go through with the
procedure, and you will not be forced to make a decision at the
consultation. We understand that this is a big decision for you and
we want you to be totally satisfied that it’s the right thing to do
before committing to the procedure booking.
