Liposuction/Fat Removal (Liposculpture)
Liposuction is one of the most popular procedures, which removes unsightly areas of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise.
Liposuction works by surgically removing fat from under the skin in problem areas, such as the chin and neck, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, knees, calves and ankles. The male chest is also a common area for treatment.
There are so many types of liposuction available in the UK and Ireland that the choice of treatments can be bewildering. It may be helpful to discuss your needs with our fully qualified Cosmetic Nurse Counsellor and find out how you can sculpt your body.
Liposuction is usually carried out as day surgery and many treatments can be performed under local anaesthetic. The Cosmetic Surgeon will make a small incision and a solution is passed into the treatment area through a fine tube. This solution helps to break down the fat cells which are then removed with suction.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
After substantial weight loss, many people find their abdominal muscles are weak and the skin in that area has become looser. Despite exercise and diet, this area may be difficult to tone and can cause self-consciousness and anxiety.
Having a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure can help. During the procedure the muscles can be tightened and excess skin removed, leaving a firmer and flatter abdomen.
Tummy tucks are becoming more popular than ever, experienced Cosmetic Surgeons can achieve some excellent results.

Male Chest Reduction
Many men find that pockets of fat settle in the chest area and when this happens it can difficult to rectify. This may be due to an increase in weight but can also be hormone related. Gynaeccomastia is a medical term that comes from the Greek words for "women-like breasts" which is due to the abnormal increase in the glandular tissue. This is quite a common condition affecting an estimated 40 to 60 percent of men. A chest reduction procedure will remove these pockets of fat and reshape the area of concern.
