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 before and after pictures of liposuction here.

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.

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.
