Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, lipectomy, liposculpture, or simply ‘lipo,’ is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. This technique is quick and effective, resulting in improved body contours.
This quick and effective technique enhances your body contour, making it a popular choice for both men and women in London. However, it’s important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution and is unsuitable for patients with a high body mass index (BMI greater than 35.0).
I perform liposuction on various body areas and often combine it with other procedures such as tummy tucks, neck lifts, and male breast reductions to achieve comprehensive body contouring.
Liposuction is a highly effective method for achieving your ideal body shape and boosting your self-confidence.
Here are the top ten reasons why many men choose this procedure:
Liposuction is performed under general anaesthetic and takes 1-3 hours depending on the extent of liposuction being carried out.
If only a very small volume of fat is to be removed, liposculpture under a local anaesthetic may be more ideal.
It is commonly performed as a day case, enabling you to go home on the same day provided you have someone to care for you for the initial 24 hours. If you are combining liposuction with another surgical procedure such as a tummy tuck, mummy makeover or neck lift, an overnight stay in a London hospital may be required.
I prefer power-assisted liposuction because it delivers more consistent results with fewer contour irregularities.
At the end of your liposuction procedure, I will apply dressings and fit you with a support (compression) garment. You will need to wear the compression garment continuously, except while showering or bathing, for six weeks following the procedure.

Making the decision to undergo plastic surgery is a significant step, and selecting the appropriate plastic surgeon is crucial for achieving your desired outcomes and ensuring a safe and fulfilling journey. Given the multitude of professionals available, it is vital to thoroughly assess potential surgeons.
Here are my top ten factors to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon:
During your consultation, I will:
The best candidates for liposuction are those with a normal BMI who struggle with stubborn fat deposits.
I have developed a sophisticated wound closure technique which means patients can shower on the first postoperative day
After 6 weeks when you remove your compression garment you should be able to see a visible difference and improved shape. After 12 weeks most of the swelling will have subsided, giving you a good indication of your results. It can take up to 12 months for all residual swelling to settle and the skin to completely retract.
Complications are usually rare as I limit liposuction to 6 litres. At this level, major fluid shifts are unlikely, and most patients will be able to tolerate the surgery as a day case.
Complications include infection, bleeding, scarring and nerve damage. Whilst patients are warned about these, the majority of my patients do not experience any complications and the postoperative recovery is smooth. The skin in the areas treated may also remain numb for up to 9 months following liposuction or liposculpture. Contour abnormalities occasionally occur especially on sites where the skin is thin such as, the medial aspects of the legs.
The cost of liposuction largely depends on the number of areas being treated. The price ranges from £5,500-£10,000.
I offer a very transparent package quote, which sets out all of the fees, including your post surgery follow up appointments with me.
