Liposuction Marylebone

Understanding liposuction surgery

Liposuction is a fat removal procedure performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Mr. Goutos. It is often sought after by individuals struggling with stubborn fat pockets that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Although liposuction is not an alternative to a healthy diet and regular exercise, it is a form of a new start for individuals who are finding weight loss difficult, or suffering from obesity.

This procedure can target areas such as:

• the abdomen
• thighs
• hips
• chest
• chin.

When targeting said areas, a plastic surgeon can remove fat pockets, giving the treated area a much more aesthetically pleasing look.

Traditional vs. Advanced techniques

Traditional liposuction methods involve the use of a thin tube called a cannula to suction out unwanted fat. While effective, these procedures may sometimes result in loose skin and require additional procedures such as skin tightening or abdominoplasty (tummy tucks) for optimal results.

On the other hand, Vaser liposuction utilises ultrasound technology to selectively target and emulsify fat cells, leading to smoother results with less trauma to surrounding tissues. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who want rid of fatty tissue, but are concerned about skin tightening and body contours.

Preparing for liposuction

Before undergoing liposuction surgery, Mr Goutos and his team will organise a consultation to discuss realistic expectations, the level of pain, and the desired outcome. A thorough examination will be conducted to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for the weight loss procedure.

Most importantly, it is vital to discuss potential risks. For example, we need to confirm that we can administer a general or local anaesthetic to the client. If our clinic feels there is a risk of any sort to a client, we need to be fully aware of that before treatment. All of this will be discussed during the initial consultation.

Also, this is the best time for you to tell the surgeon all of your cosmetic goals, as they can explain what treatment may be best for you. Plus, if it is a small treatment, you may not need an anaesthetic at all, as sedation might suffice.

The liposuction procedure

Liposuction is commonly performed under local or general anaesthetic, or sedation, depending on the extent of the treatment and patient preference. Small incisions are made in the treated area, through which the cannula is inserted to suction out fat cells. If the treated area is your arms or legs, for example, the surgery is performed on both limbs simultaneously.

The surgeon at our clinic will give you more information regarding the surgery before a single incision is even made. As for the pain, you are unlikely to feel a thing during the surgery thanks to the sedation or anaesthetic that has been administered.

Post-operative care and recovery

Following liposuction, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with proper care and medication. It is essential to adhere to post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon to facilitate a smooth recovery process. Results will gradually improve as swelling subsides, revealing a more sculpted appearance.

With the simpler treatment procedures, minimal downtime and pain is likely. Obviously, with the more complex procedures, it is vital to consult your surgeon regarding the recovery process. Most clients have been advised not to return to work for a week and take a break from strenuous daily activities for 4-6 weeks. However, this is once again determined by the surgery performed.

Potential risks and complications

While liposuction is generally considered safe, there are inherent risks associated with any surgical operation. These may include bleeding, infection, scarring, and asymmetry. Patients are encouraged to address any concerns with their surgeon and follow pre-operative guidelines to minimise the likelihood of complications.
