Liposuction Surgery (Overview)

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to remove fat from the body. Many women and men in Birmingham undergo liposuction because of its long lasting nature and proven final results.

At Birmingham Beauty Clinic, our specialist, qualified body sculpting surgeons have years of experience in using this versatile cosmetic treatment to treat many areas of the body, including; the abdomen, arms, neck, knees, hips and thighs. Liposuction can also be used to remove fat from the chest, back, chin and ankles.

Lipo (for short), can also be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures to produce further enhanced results in both men and women, including breast surgery, tummy tuck and neck / facelift.

HOW DOES LIPOSUCTION WORK?

Liposuction is a procedure in which fat cells in the subcutaneous layer of the skin are surgically removed. It is one of the most common elective surgeries that are provided by the Birmingham Beauty Clinic. With the help of liposuction, unwanted fat cells are targeted and sucked out of the body.

A small incision is made, and the unwanted fat cells, just beneath the skin surface, are sucked with the help of a cannula. There are various methods of liposuction to choose from, which includes ultrasonic vaser, laser and wet liposuction.

Types of Liposuction (Birmingham Beauty Clinic)

Liposuction is considered a gold standard treatment for fat removal. At Birmingham Beauty Clinic we specialise in two different types of liposuction that can produce different results depending on the needs and body goals of the patient.

1. The first type of liposuction is traditional Suction Assisted Liposuction (SAL). This surgery involves a technique whereby fat is sucked out through a hollow tube (cannula) that is introduced through small incisions. The incisions are closed at the end of the surgery.

Surgery can be performed under local or general anaesthetic and may take around one to three hours to perform depending on the target areas of the body, patient preferences, surgeons preference and the volume of the areas that require liposuction.

2. The second type of liposuction that we offer here at Birmingham Beauty Clinic is Vaser Liposuction, also known as Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL). This lipo type is used in treatments for both men and women whose goal is to remove stubborn fat deposits from the body and sculpt the area in to a more defined / toned aesthetic appearance.

If you are considering liposuction in any form and live in the West Midlands / Birmingham area, you can have peace of mind of knowing that our cosmetic surgeons are highly skilled and experienced in sculpting the body and meeting patients aesthetic goals.

Who is the Ideal Candidate?​

Liposuction can be opted for by anyone who wants to get rid of excess fat cells and other methods like dieting does not seem to work anymore on them. With the help of liposuction, fat from all corners of the body can be removed, leading to the figure of your dreams. At liposuction Birmingham, anyone who is free from a debilitating illness has around 30% of their ideal body weight and lives a relatively healthy lifestyle can opt for the surgery.

LIPOSUCTION AREAS

Calf & Ankle Liposuction: This is the most resistant area when it comes to weight loss. Those who have fat buildup here are generally predisposed to it genetically. Calf and ankle liposuction targets these immune fat cells, making it easier to get rid of them quickly.


Abdominal or Tummy Liposuction: Tummy liposuction is one of the most popular forms of fat removal. Not only does this procedure bring about emotional well being but also help people to become physically fit. Tummy fat removal helps in the betterment of self-esteem and has been known to provide excellent results post-surgery.


Arms Liposuction: Underarm flabbiness or floppiness is very common. This generally happens because of predisposition to store fat in this area and is greatly affected by gender and age. When various exercises failed to provide you with the bicep and triceps you need, arms liposuction is the best option.


Back Liposuction: Although back liposuction is not very common, some people do feel the need for it. It is commonly used to treat the bulges and rolls that are common in the back region.


Chin Liposuction: Chin liposuction is very important for those who are suffering from low self-esteem. It provides shape and structure to the face while sculpting the area at the same time. Removing fat from this part of the face can significantly help in regaining confidence and altering one’s appearance.


Flank Liposuction: Flank fat for love handles is common in both men and women and are very easily noticeable. Without the help of liposuction, the flank fat can just get worse with age no matter what exercises you try. The growing frustration can be eradicated with the help of this simple surgery.


Buttocks Liposuction: Accumulation of fat cell in the buttocks is a very common problem associated with men and women. Everybody wants toned hips and buttocks because it is much more appealing. While it is resistant exercises, with liposuction, you can achieve this in no time at all.


Gynecomastia or Male Breast Liposuction: Male breasts or the accumulation of excess fat cells in the chest region of a man can be extremely damaging to self-confidence and esteem. Gynecomastia at Birmingham Clinic can regain consciousness by removing fat and flattening the chest region to perfection.


Liposuction of the Thighs & Legs: Having fat cells in the thighs and legs can not only be unappealing but also lead to a number of problems in the long run. Liposuction of the thighs and legs helps to provide an immediate solution to a debilitating problem


Knee Liposuction: While knee liposuction is not very popular, it helps people to achieve elegant knees. It is often accompanied by liposuction of thighs and legs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Liposuction is performed under local or general anaesthetic depending on the extent of your treatment and the areas being targeted, so no pain is felt during surgery. If local anaesthetic is used, you will be awake for your treatment and may feel a sensation of tugging or moving under the skin.
Incisions used in liposuction are very small – about the width of the fingernail on your little finger. So scarring is minimal and your surgeon will always try to hide the incision in a natural skin fold or crease.
Both treatments come with pros and cons. Vaser is considered less invasive than suction assisted but can be more expensive. Suction assisted can be more effective at removing larger amounts of fat cells.
