Liposuction is also known as liposculpture, or ‘lipo’. Common areas of the face and body that are addressed using this procedure include: under the chin, chest, breasts, upper arms, stomach, hips, back, buttocks, thighs and knees.


Depending on which area(s) is being treated a series of small incisions are made in the skin. A is inserted into these cuts which is then moved around to help disperse the fat. A tube is attached to the cannula which then removes the fat from the body in small amounts using suction. Sutures will close the wounds and in some cases you will be asked to wear a compression garment to help the skin adapt to its new position.


Liposuction can offer a long-term solution for reducing pinchable pockets of fat, and can be used alongside other procedures to help improve the overall appearance of the face and body, including: abdominoplasty, arm lift, thigh lift, gynaecomastia and fat (also known as fat transfer).


Liposuction can take around hours, depending on the number of areas that are being treated. At Real Plastic Surgery we use a general and you may be able to go home the same day.



You may need to take days off work and most people have significantly recovered within 2 weeks. Compression garments need to be worn for 6 to 12 weeks, and you might choose to undergo lymphatic massage to help after surgery.




We recommend patients begin gentle movement around two days after surgery. Light such as walking, climbing stairs, and carrying out basic daily tasks are encouraged to support circulation and recovery.



You may need to avoid strenuous exercise and the gym for up to 8 weeks.



Driving is usually after 5–7 days, once you feel comfortable and are no longer on strong pain .



You can usually shower after 48 hours, but baths, swimming, and saunas should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.



Full recovery from liposuction takes four and six weeks, with swelling improving over several months.



1 procedure can produce long-term results if a healthy and active lifestyle is maintained.



To create a slimmer and more toned appearance of the body.




If you have any doubts. Our team of experts will provide support and guidance all the way through your treatment journey; using the consultation to determine your suitability and your certainty.


Showering After a Liposuction

Very small incisions are made during the liposuction procedure which often heal within a few days. We advise that you wait for dressings to be removed and for healing to have taken place before you shower, which in this case may be 3 or 4 days.

Follow Up and Aftercare

Our team will want to follow up with you 1 week after the procedure. Your final review will be 6 weeks after surgery and for a few months you will need to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting, as well as sun exposure.
