Is a liposuction procedure good for weight loss?
Excess body fat is removed during liposuction surgery, however, only from specific areas of the body. Elena does not advocate the procedure as a means of weight loss as high-volume fat removal can be dangerous for the patient.
Which areas of the body can be treated?
Elena frequently uses liposuction on the inner and outer thighs, stomach, hips, under the chin. and the knee area.
The procedure will make a significant difference to the shape of your body which will be smoother and more contoured.
Elena’s patients are always delighted with their lipo results and find that their self-confidence soars.
Treatment of the hip and thigh area has allowed patients to feel happy wearing jeans or tight trousers for the first time.
You can find some before and after pictures on our dedicated Liposuction page here.
How is excess fat removed?
Fat cells are removed using a strong vacuum pump through a narrow metal tube inserted into a small incision in the skin. There may be several incisions in the treated area depending on its size.
Can it be performed using a local anaesthetic?
Sometimes a local anaesthetic can be sufficient for a small area but the procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthetic and requires an overnight stay in hospital.
How long will it take to recover from surgical fat removal ?
You will be sore after a surgcial fat removal treatment like liposuction but this will be controlled with pain relief medication.

Recovery time may vary but most patients recover from the effects of liposuction surgery after one to two weeks. Full recovery and the final results of the procedure be apparent after six months to a year. The small incisions made during surgery will quickly fade.
