The most frequent areas for liposuction are the abdomen (tummy), the flanks (love handles) and the outer thighs (saddle bags).

Liposuction can be performed under local or general anaesthetic depending on the area.

FAT GRAFTING

Sometimes the fat removed by liposuction in unwanted areas, can be used to augment, restore or enhance  other areas such as the face, hands, breasts or buttocks. The fat is washed, processed and injected into the new area, giving permanent and long lasting results without the use of any artificial materials. It is all organic as it is recycling and using your own tissue, giving natural results. 

The procedure

Liposuction is performed under local or general anaesthetic. The first step is to infiltrate a wetting solution containing local anaesthetic and adrenaline into the treatment area. A small entry port is made through a cannula is introduced, which is then connected to a vacuum to provide suction. The fat is then either discarded or processed to be re-injected into other areas as part of a liposculpture procedure.
