Removes stubborn fat from the tummy, hips, thighs and arms to sculpt and define your shape
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from areas where they tend to gather, such as the tummy, hips, thighs and arms. It is a proven, effective way to refine your shape and smooth out pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise.
What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, helping to sculpt a smoother, more defined contour. It is one of the most established and widely performed body-contouring procedures, suited to areas of stubborn fat that have not responded to a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Rather than a weight-loss treatment, liposuction is best understood as a body-shaping procedure. It works most effectively for people who are close to their target weight but want to address persistent areas that affect their overall shape, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs or upper arms.
How Does Liposuction Work?
Liposuction is carried out as a day-case procedure, so you return home the same day. To begin, Dr Fasano marks the areas to be treated to ensure precise, even fat removal.
The area is numbed using a local anaesthetic, with twilight sedation or general anaesthesia available depending on the size of the treatment and your comfort. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, small incisions are made near the marked areas and a tumescent fluid is injected to expand the tissue layer, reduce bleeding and make fat removal smoother.
A thin hollow tube called a cannula is then inserted and used to gently loosen and suction away the unwanted fat. Once the fat has been removed, the incisions are closed and dressed, and a compression garment is fitted to support healing, reduce swelling and help the skin settle to its new contour.

How Does Liposuction Compare to Other Treatments?
- VASER Liposuction: Uses ultrasound to break down fat before removal, offering extra precision, smoother results and a gentler recovery. It is the more advanced option for those wanting the latest technology.
- Laser Liposuction: Effective for smaller, localised areas but less suited to larger or multiple regions.
- Non-Surgical Fat Reduction: Treatments such as fat freezing suit very small areas and minor refinements, but results are more gradual and less predictable than surgical liposuction.
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Addresses loose skin and weakened muscle rather than fat alone, and is sometimes combined with liposuction for a fuller transformation.

Am I a Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction is ideal for individuals who:
- Have stubborn pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise.
- Are close to their target weight and want to refine their shape rather than lose significant weight.
- Are generally in good health with a stable weight and a BMI under 30.
- Have realistic expectations and are committed to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle.
Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure or a treatment for obesity. During your consultation, Dr Fasano will assess your body shape, discuss your goals and confirm whether liposuction is the right choice for you.
Recovery After Liposuction
Liposuction is performed as a day-case procedure, so you can return home the same day. Mild swelling, bruising and tenderness are completely normal in the first few days and gradually settle over the following weeks.
A compression garment is worn day and night for around two weeks to control swelling and support the treated areas, and gentle walking in the early days helps reduce fluid build-up. Most patients take between one and two weeks off work, depending on the areas treated and the nature of their job, and strenuous exercise should be avoided for about four weeks.
Swelling continues to reduce over the weeks that follow, with your refined, more defined contour becoming clearer as your body heals. Final results are typically seen from around twelve weeks, with scars continuing to fade over the months afterwards.
Liposuction Cost with Dr. Fasano
Liposuction with Dr Fasano starts from £3,263. The exact cost depends on the number and size of the areas being treated, with additional areas added at a further cost, confirmed at your consultation.
All patients attend a consultation prior to surgery (£150 for face-to-face, free for a phone consultation with P.A), where Dr Fasano assesses your needs, discusses your goals and recommends a personalised treatment plan. The fee reflects not only the procedure itself but the skill and experience of an expert surgeon, which is the single most important factor in achieving safe, smooth and natural-looking results.
Key Benefits of Liposuction

- Improved Contour: Refines and defines your natural shape for a smoother silhouette.
- Long-Lasting Results: With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, results are designed to last.
- Versatile Treatment: Suitable for many areas, including the tummy, flanks, thighs, arms and chin.

Is Liposuction Safe?
Liposuction is one of the most common and well-established cosmetic procedures, with a strong safety record and generally minimal side effects when performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon. The procedure treats the layer between the skin and the muscle, staying clear of major organs, vessels and nerves.
The most important factor in minimising risk is the skill and experience of your surgeon, combined with modern equipment and careful aftercare. Choosing an expert ensures effective fat removal, a lower risk of complications and smooth, natural-looking results.

Liposuction Faqs
During your consultation with Dr Fasano you will learn exactly which treatment suits you and your body. Patients often visit our London and Birmingham clinics with more than one area they would like to address.
Traditional liposuction removes fat by loosening and suctioning it directly through a cannula. VASER liposuction adds ultrasound technology to break down fat cells first, which can mean greater precision, smoother results and a gentler recovery. Dr Fasano will help you decide which approach best suits your goals.
Liposuction can treat fat in many areas, including the chin and neck, arms, chest, tummy, flanks, thighs, hips, knees and ankles. The right plan for you will be confirmed at your consultation.
No. Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure rather than a weight-loss treatment. It works best for refining stubborn areas in patients who are already close to their target weight and committed to a healthy lifestyle.
Under general or twilight anaesthesia you will feel nothing during the procedure, and smaller areas can be treated under local anaesthetic. Afterwards, most patients describe an achy feeling similar to an intense workout for the first few days, which is well managed with standard pain relief.
Most cases are completed in a single session. Where a larger volume of fat is being treated, or where the procedure reaches its safe time limit, a second session may be recommended to treat every area with the highest care.
You return home the same day. Many people manage light activities the day after, but it is best to allow around two to three weeks to recover fully and to avoid strenuous activity for about a month. Time off work is usually one to two weeks depending on your job and the areas treated.
The incisions used for liposuction are very small, so any scars are minimal and tend to fade significantly over time. Following your aftercare, including scar care for the first few months, helps them heal as discreetly as possible.
Liposuction is a safe, established procedure when carried out by an experienced surgeon. Because it treats only the space between the skin and the muscle, it stays away from major organs, vessels and nerves, and the risk of complications is low in expert hands.
