Operation to remove
the excess fat
from areas of
the body that
do not reduce
with diet and
exercise in order
to achieve a more
youthful appearance.
Why have a Liposuction?
Remove excess
fat that does
not reduce following
exercise and diet.
Improve body
shape and self-image
enabling you to
wear the clothes
you want.
Correct abnormal
fat deposits;
under chin, neck,
male chest (Gynaecomastia),
and lower body
(Lipodystrophy).
Abnormal or excess
fat deposition
can arise from
a familial trait
or simply as a
result of the
changes of aging.
Fat deposition
in the lower body
and legs (Lipodystrophy)
commonly has a
genetic link and
can prove difficult
for the patient
to reduce with
diet and exercise.
Fat deposition
in the male chest
(Gynaecomastia)
is relatively
common and rarely
responds to diet
and exercise.
Many patients
are troubled by
these fat deposits
that can readily
be treated by
Liposuction /
Liposculpture.
However, this
treatment should
not be undertaken
lightly but should
be part of your
program of diet
and exercise to
improve your body
shape, fitness
and tone. You
should aim to
reduce your weight
as much as possible
prior to any treatment.
Liposuction/Liposculpture
involves removing
by the use of
suction (aspiration),
fat through a
metal tube (cannula).
This can be performed
using a simple
manual technique
or Power Assisted
Liposuction PAL.
Manual suction
techniques are
suited to relatively
small areas whilst
PAL facilitates
rapid, safe and
significantly
less traumatic
treatment for
large areas.
Liposuction is
commonly performed
at the time of
many other surgical
procedures and
will frequently
be used in conjunction
with surgery.
These include
Facelift
Breast Uplift
(Mastopexy)
Breast Reduction
Abdominoplasty
(Tummy Tuck)
Remember surgery
will not change
you or solve any
life crises, but
should boost your
self-confidence
and enjoyment
of life.
The type of operation
required to achieve
the best result
for you will depend
on the amount
of excess fat
and involved areas
and will be discussed
at the time of
your Consultation.
