Treatment Overview

Liposuction is a popular aesthetic plastic surgery procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, helping patients achieve a more sculpted and proportionate physique. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and under the chin. Liposuction is not a weight loss solution but is ideal for targeting localised fat and enhancing body contours. It can also be combined with other procedures, such as tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) or body lifts, for comprehensive results.

About Liposuction

Mr Paul Wilson is a trusted expert in body contouring, offering personalised liposuction treatments, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Using advanced techniques such as vaser, tumescent liposuction and power-assisted liposuction, Mr Wilson ensures precision, minimal scarring and a faster recovery.

Patients request Mr Wilson for this procedure due to his extensive experience, artistic eye, and commitment to patient safety. His individualised approach means that every treatment plan is designed to complement your natural anatomy, delivering results that look and feel completely natural. Mr Wilson’s dedication to providing exceptional care and outstanding outcomes makes him a leading choice for liposuction.

VASER is an additional technique, often combined with power assisted liposuction to produce enhanced contours and smoother results. VASER is a thermal energy device which imparts energy into the sub-cutaneous fat, melts the fat and produces a more homogenous fat collection to aspirate. This in turn results in a smoother result with less risk of contour deformities post-operatively compared with standard liposuction alone.

If you’re looking for a leaner, more defined silhouette, Mr Wilson’s expertise ensures a transformative and confidence-boosting experience.

Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat, the layer of fat located just beneath the skin and above the muscle. This type of fat is typically responsible for stubborn bulges and uneven contours that resist diet and exercise. Unlike visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs and affects overall health, subcutaneous fat is more accessible and can be targeted with liposuction techniques. By removing these fat cells, liposuction sculpts the body for a more proportional appearance. It’s important to note that liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, but rather a contouring procedure designed to refine and enhance body shape.

During your consultation, Mr Wilson will evaluate your anatomy and aesthetic goals to create a tailored treatment plan. The most suitable treatment technique will be recommended by Mr Wilson, which may involve tumescent liposuction. This method requires injecting a saline solution mixed with lidocaine and epinephrine into the treatment area. The solution numbs the site, reduces bleeding, and loosens fat cells for easier removal. A small cannula is inserted through tiny incisions, and excess fat is suctioned out using a vacuum device. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is a technique that allows for greater precision and efficiency, particularly in fibrous areas such as the back or chest. It involves using a specialised cannula with rapid, controlled vibrations to break apart fat cells before removal. For more challenging cases, ultrasound-assisted liposuction (VASER) may be a suitable option. It uses ultrasonic energy to liquify fat before suction and is especially effective for removing dense or large volumes of fat.

Regardless of technique, incisions are strategically placed in conspicuous areas to minimise visible scarring. Mr Wilson’s meticulous approach ensures a smooth and natural contour. Liposuction is often performed as a day case procedure under general or local anaesthetic, depending on the treatment area and volume of fat being removed.

Each liposuction procedure is customised to meet your unique needs. Factors such as the amount of fat to be removed, skin elasticity, and the desired outcome are all considered during the planning phase. Mr Wilson will work closely with you to ensure your expectations align with achievable results. If you also have loose skin, liposuction can be combined with skin-tightening procedures such as tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to achieve optimal results.

Adjunctive procedures such as Renuvion may be used to shrink-wrap the skin following liposuction. This is another thermal energy device using helium.

Benefits

This procedure offers numerous physical and emotional benefits, including:

  • Targeted fat removal to address stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Improved body proportions for a more balanced and sculpted appearance.
  • Enhanced confidence in your appearance, particularly in fitted clothing or swimwear.
  • Minimally invasive techniques that result in small, discreet scars.
  • Long-term fat removal, as fat cells do not regenerate in the treated areas (though maintaining results requires a stable weight). Residual fat cells may enlarge.
  • Versatility in treating multiple areas of the body in one procedure.

Post-Operative Recovery

The recovery period is straightforward, and most patients experience minimal downtime. Immediately after surgery you will wear a compression garment to reduce swelling, support the treated areas, and encourage effective healing. Mild soreness, bruising, and swelling are common and can be managed with pain relieving medication and rest. Light activities can usually be resumed within 3-7 days, depending on the extent of the procedure. Mr Wilson provides specific instructions on caring for incisions and avoiding strenuous activities. Swelling often begins to subside at 2-4 weeks post-surgery, and the results start to become more noticeable. At this point in your recovery, you may resume light exercise, but high-impact activities should be avoided for 6 weeks. Final results are typically visible at 3-6 months after the procedure as swelling resolves, revealing a smoother, more contoured silhouette. Scars will continue to fade over time.

FAQ

Liposuction is considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced and qualified surgeon like Mr Paul Wilson. He uses advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure optimal results. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks, such as infection, bruising, or uneven contours, which are uncommon when the procedure is conducted carefully. Mr Wilson conducts a thorough consultation and preoperative assessment to confirm your suitability for liposuction. By adhering to aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments, you can ensure a safe recovery and excellent long-term outcomes.

During the procedure, local or general anaesthesia ensures you feel no pain. After surgery, you may experience mild discomfort, soreness, or bruising, which is manageable with prescribed pain relief. The compression garment also helps reduce swelling and provide support. Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate, similar to the feeling of muscle soreness after intense exercise. Mrl Wilson provides clear aftercare instructions to help you stay comfortable during recovery. As the healing process progresses, any residual discomfort subsides, and patients can enjoy their enhanced body contours pain-free.

You should avoid driving for at least 1-2 weeks after liposuction, depending on the extent of the procedure and your recovery. It’s essential to ensure you are no longer taking prescription pain medications, as these can impair your ability to drive safely. Additionally, you must feel comfortable making necessary movements, such as turning the steering wheel or checking blind spots, without strain. Mr Wilson will assess your recovery during follow-up appointments and provide personalised guidance on when it’s safe to resume driving.

After liposuction, you’ll typically wear a compression garment for 4-6 weeks. This garment helps reduce swelling, promotes even healing, and supports the newly contoured areas. During the first few weeks, you may need to wear it continuously, except when bathing. As healing progresses, Mr Wilson may recommend reducing the time you wear the garment. Following his instructions carefully ensures the best possible results and minimises complications like fluid buildup or irregular contours. Wearing the garment as directed is key to achieving a smooth and sculpted outcome. We would also recommend 4-6 treatments of manual lymphatic drainage post-operatively to help reduce the swelling more quickly.

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas, meaning those fat cells will not regenerate. However, maintaining your results requires a stable weight, as remaining fat cells in your body can expand with weight gain. A healthy diet and regular exercise are crucial for preserving the improved contours achieved through liposuction. Mr Wilson provides personalised guidance on maintaining your results and addressiglifestyle factors that support long-term success. With proper care, liposuction offers lasting improvements to your body shape and confidence.
