What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a type of cosmetic surgery designed to help remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Women are more likely than men to consider liposuction, as it can improve proportions, body contours and, above all, self-image and confidence. Liposuction is also known as lipoplasty and can be carried out as a day case.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
What are the risks of liposuction?
In a meta-analysis of 3,583 patients who underwent large-volume liposuction, major complications affected 3.35% of cases, most often a blood loss requiring transfusion. Minor complications, including seroma, reached 11.62%[1].
Can fat come back after liposuction?
In a randomised trial of 36 women of normal weight, the fat removed from under the abdominal skin had not returned after 6 months. Visceral fat, however, increased by 10% in those who remained physically inactive[2].
What is Vaser liposuction?
Vaser is third-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction, not a laser. In a series of 261 patients from a single surgeon, complications affected 4.6% of cases[3]. See Vaser liposuction in Turkey.
Is lipoedema surgery covered?
Lipoedema surgery is generally not available on the NHS, as it is classed as cosmetic. Whether your own cover contributes depends on your situation, so check with your GP or private insurer. The standard technique is tumescent liposuction[4]. Details are on the lipoedema surgery page.
What is the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck?
Liposuction removes localised fat through small incisions. A tummy tuck also removes excess skin from the abdomen and can tighten the muscles. In Spain, it costs from £3,100 to £6,300: see tummy tuck in Spain.
Is a BBL a type of liposuction?
Not only. A BBL, or Brazilian butt lift, combines liposuction with reinjection of the harvested fat into the buttocks. It is a separate procedure, with its own risks and its own price: see BBL in Turkey.
Does liposuction make you lose weight?
No. Liposuction treats localised fat deposits that resist dieting, not overall excess weight. It is aimed at people who are close to their healthy weight. To compare prices, see liposuction in Turkey.
