Chrysalis Lipo offers Vaser liposuction, MicroAire lipo (PAL) and Smart Lipo at our Glasgow and Edinburgh clinic. Persistent fat that is difficult to eliminate through diet or exercise is often found in the belly, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, and chin. Liposuction, commonly known as “lipo”, reshapes the body by permanently removing these fat deposits. Liposuction is a way to eliminate persistent fat that won't go away, even if you do your best to improve your lifestyle through diet and exercise.
It does not eliminate cellulite, stretch marks, or loose skin, but it can be used to reduce male breasts (gynecomastia) and excess fluid. Sometimes, you may be given local anesthesia (where only one area of your body is numb and you're awake) if liposuction is performed on a very small area of your body. If the treatment is done on the lower body, an epidural may be used. You should have changed your diet and lifestyle to reach your goal weight before undergoing liposuction.
For two weeks before the operation, you should not take aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs and, if you are anemic, you should take iron supplements. Your surgeon may also recommend that you stop taking the contraceptive pill if you are going to undergo extensive liposuction. Your specialist will give you more personalized advice for you to follow in the run-up to the procedure. You will have an initial consultation with a cosmetic surgeon or cosmetic nurse to discuss what you want to achieve and if liposuction is appropriate.
There are two main types of liposuction techniques: wet and dry. Both are usually performed under general anaesthesia and your surgeon will agree with you in advance which one is the most appropriate. If only a small amount of fat is going to be removed, you can use a local anaesthetic instead. Some of the side effects of liposuction include bruising, swelling, and inflammation of the treated areas.
Rarely, complications can occur after liposuction. The likelihood of complications depends on the exact type of operation you're undergoing and other factors, such as your general health. We'll talk with you about the potential risks and complications of undergoing this procedure and how they apply to you. According to recent data, the typical price of liposuction in the UK ranges from 3000 to 6000 British pounds per target area.
It is important to keep in mind that these figures are approximations and that actual expenses may vary depending on the situations and variables that affect prices. For each patient, the cost of treatment will depend on the size of the treatment areas, the liposuction technology and the overall complexity of the surgery. Therefore, you will receive the price of your liposuction treatment after consulting with our plastic surgeon, who will design a tailor-made cosmetic surgery procedure to produce the desired results. The exact cost of your liposuction surgery will vary depending on the number and size of the treatment areas, as well as your unique surgical needs.
You will receive the exact cost of your procedure after consulting with your chosen surgeon. In addition, patients often combine the minimally invasive BodyTite procedure with liposuction for optimal results. This is because a BodyTite treatment tightens the skin, thus resolving any sagging skin that may result from the removal of fat during liposuction surgery. Most of the surgeons we work with offer payment plans for liposuction.
However, you'll need to talk directly with your chosen surgeon about the availability and details of any payment plan. Liposuction is very effective in removing excess fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Therefore, patients who want to improve their body contours and achieve a sculpted figure find that liposuction is a worthwhile solution. Patients can choose the areas of their body that they want to work on to achieve the desired shape, while the small incision used to suck the fat does not leave significant scars.
In addition, it produces permanent results, since excess fat cells are permanently eliminated, while any dietary measure would only cause fat cells to shrink.

In the UK, the price of liposuction ranges from 3,000 to 8,500 British pounds, depending on where you go and the areas of the body to be treated. Liposuction is usually performed under general anesthesia, although epidural anesthesia can be used for liposuction in the lower parts of the body. Liposuction procedures that do not use injections or incisions are called non-surgical liposuction procedures.
The price of liposuction can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the number of areas treated, the amount of fat removed, and the type of liposuction performed. Liposuction costs can also vary depending on the different liposuction technologies used, the center where the procedure is performed and the type anaesthesia required.
