Cosmetic surgery advice The unsightly distribution of body fat is usually due to an inborn tendency to deposit fat in one particular area of the body, most commonly the hips and tummy. Other areas include the thighs, the inside of the knees, the loin or 'love handles', the upper arm and the neck. The essential principle is that liposuction can alter the body's contours, particularly around the hips, buttocks and thighs. Clothing sizes from top and bottom can therefore be brought into line, addressing the 'pear shape' appearance and making the wearing of trousers possible without baggy jumpers, long shirts  or coats. Liposuction is not a method of reducing weight, but a solution to localised areas of fatty deposits which persist no matter how much dieting, massage or exercise is undertaken. The procedure is conducted under general anaesthetic and involves a one-night stay in hospital. A few very small incisions are necessary to insert a probe into the fat to remove it via a high vacuum suction device. Great care is taken to ensure there is only minimal bruising but you should be prepared for some to occur. After liposuction, a tights pressure garment will have to be worn for three weeks in order to provide the optimum conditions for the treated areas to heal flat and produce the best possible results. Time away from work depends on the area(s) treated and can vary from between seven and ten days. It is important to understand that liposuction is not a treatment for weight problems. The amount of fat that can be removed from a localised area is limited by what is safe and there is a natural limitation as to when no further fat can be removed. Patients who have loose skin or dimpling may not be ideal candidates for this procedure. Your consultation with your surgeon will provide honest advice and what is a realistic expectation. Fat cells are thought not to regenerate in adult life, Therefore their removal via liposuction should give a permanent change in contour. A no-obligation, free consultation with the surgeon who would carry out your operation is available by calling 020 8936 1225.
