Laser Liposuction is an ideal choice for individuals who struggle with localised areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. This procedure can help sculpt and contour various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, and more. Liposuction can provide a more proportionate body shape and enhance your overall body confidence and with the additional skin tightening provided by laser, you can be confident of a great result.
Laser liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic and sedation. Small areas may be suitable for treatment under local anaesthetic alone. All procedures are performed in our state-of-the-art operating theatre, ensuring the highest standards of safety and infection control.
Almost any area of the body that has unwanted fat deposits such as:
Multiple areas can be treated, however there is a limit to the amount of fat that can be removed safely in a single session - our surgeons will advise you on the safest approach.
Laser liposuction costs depend on the area being treated. As you might expect, smaller areas have lower cost and our prices start from £3,800 per area.
Liposuction offers several benefits, including targeted fat reduction, improved body contour, and enhanced body proportions. Laser-assisted liposuction can provide additional skin tightening benefits, resulting in smoother and more toned skin in the treated areas. The procedure can help you achieve a more sculpted and defined physique.
On the day of the procedure, you will arrive at our clinic, and our caring staff will guide you through the process. Your surgeon will confirm the areas to be treated and together you will complete a consent form. The surgeon will mark the areas to be treated and take preoperative photographs. The surgical team will perform the liposuction surgery according to the personalised treatment plan, utilising the laser-assisted liposuction technique. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia and sedation, depending on your specific case and surgeon's recommendation.
You will see the results developing quickly as the swelling subsides. Most of the swelling will be gone by 6 weeks, but there will be continued enhancement of your contour for around 3 months and the skin tightening will continue to improve over 6 months. Additional treatments such as radiofrequency and Emsculpt NEO can be used to enhance this process and build underlying muscles to improve your shape further.
Following the recovery period, you can expect improved body contours, a more sculpted physique, and enhanced body proportions. Laser-assisted liposuction can provide additional skin tightening benefits, resulting in smoother and more toned skin. The results of liposuction are long-lasting, and with a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the benefits of your newly contoured body for years to come.
Stretch marks can sometimes be improved with this procedure, but the effect is very subtle and they rarely disappear. Other procedures such as fractionated laser (iPixel) and microneedling are more effective.
Yes. All surgical procedures involve some scarring. Our goal is to position scars in the least noticeable places and use careful closure techniques to support good healing. We’ll explain what scar maturation typically looks like, how long it takes, and what you can do (such as sun protection and appropriate scar care) to optimise the final appearance.
Laser liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic with sedation, avoiding general anaesthetic, and takes about 1–3 hours. Afterwards it’s normal to feel swelling and some bruising for the first week or two – this is well controlled with a clear, personalised pain-relief plan, and discomfort settles steadily over the following weeks.
Recovery is generally easier than traditional liposuction because the laser reduces bruising and tightens the skin; some swelling from the local anaesthetic settles over the first weeks. Most patients take around 1–2 weeks of downtime and 1 week off work, and should avoid exercise, sport and heavy lifting for 6 weeks. You’ll wear a compression garment. You’ll have follow-up appointments at 1 week, 6 weeks and 6 months.
Time off work is typically 1 week, depending on how physical your job is. Driving is usually possible again after 1 week, once you are in full control of the car – able to wear a seatbelt and steer without discomfort, and comfortably perform an emergency stop. Gentle walking is encouraged early, but exercise, sport and heavy lifting are avoided for 6 weeks while you heal.
All surgical procedures carry risks. Common risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, wound healing issues, and the possibility of needing additional treatment or refinement. Some procedures have specific risks related to the area treated. We’ll talk you through the risks and how we minimise them, and you’ll have time to ask questions before deciding.
The first step is a consultation. We’ll assess your concern, discuss what’s realistic, explain your options (including non-surgical alternatives where appropriate), and outline recovery and pricing clearly.
