Am I Suitable for Liposuction?

Are you considering liposuction but unsure if it’s the right option for you? At The Private Clinic, we’ve performed over 11,000 procedures, establishing ourselves as leaders in body sculpting. Our expert surgeons are known for delivering bespoke, natural-looking results tailored to your unique body goals.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a fat removal procedure designed to target stubborn fat deposits in specific body areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck. It’s ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Rather than serving as a weight-loss method, liposuction focuses on refining your body’s natural contours by addressing those hard-to-shift areas.

At The Private Clinic, we offer several types of liposuction, each with unique benefits. Our specialists can help determine if liposuction is ideal for you or if another treatment might be more suitable. During your consultation, we’ll guide you through all your options and help you choose the best technique for you.

Who is Liposuction For?

Liposuction is best suited for individuals looking to refine specific areas of their body by removing stubborn fat. Here’s what makes someone a good candidate:

BMI and Weight Stability
Liposuction is most effective for people with a BMI under 35 who have maintained a stable weight. It’s a body-shaping solution, not a weight-loss procedure, aimed at reshaping areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Good Health
Your overall health is essential in determining suitability. At The Private Clinic, our surgeons will carefully assess your medical history to ensure you’re fit for the procedure and can achieve the best possible results.

Realistic Expectations
We take the time to understand your body goals and recommend the most appropriate treatments. While liposuction is excellent for removing stubborn fat, it doesn’t address loose or sagging skin. If that’s a concern, we may suggest a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), which is better suited for patients with significant excess skin. Our “less is more” philosophy ensures natural-looking outcomes that complement your body’s existing contours.

Why Would Someone Choose Liposuction?

Liposuction is designed for individuals who are already at a healthy weight but struggle with fat deposits in specific areas that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Whether you want to contour your abdomen, thighs, arms, neck, flanks, or knees, liposuction can help you achieve a more sculpted appearance.

At The Private Clinic, we pride ourselves on offering honest, empathetic consultations, ensuring that every patient has realistic expectations and feels confident in their decision.

“The results are incredible… I just wish I had done it sooner!”

Types of Liposuction We Offer

At The Private Clinic, we provide a range of liposuction techniques, each designed to meet different body sculpting needs. Our expert surgeons will work with you to determine which technique is best suited to your body type and goals:

VASER Liposuction: This method uses ultrasound technology to liquefy fat before removal, allowing for highly precise sculpting with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. VASER is ideal for those looking to enhance muscle definition in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Recovery time is generally quicker compared to traditional techniques.
Micro Lipo: For more delicate areas, such as the chin, neck, or knees, Micro Lipo uses tiny cannulas to remove smaller amounts of fat with precision. This minimally invasive technique offers a faster recovery and is perfect for subtle contouring.
Traditional Surgical Liposuction: Best suited for patients who require more extensive fat removal in larger areas such as the back, flanks, or abdomen. This technique allows for significant reshaping and is often chosen by those seeking more dramatic results.

Enhancing Your Results and Alternative Options

For those seeking non-surgical solutions, CoolSculpting offers fat reduction without invasive procedures, though multiple sessions may be required. If excess skin is your primary concern, a Tummy Tuck might be more suitable. Many of our liposuction patients also benefit from complementary treatments like Morpheus8 for skin tightening or Body Ballancer to improve lymphatic drainage and recovery.
