Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure used to remove unwanted body fat. Also known as lipo and liposculpture.
It involves sucking out small areas of fat that are hard to lose through exercise and a healthy diet. It’s carried out on areas of the body where deposits of fat tend to collect, such as the buttocks, hips, thighs and tummy.
In the heart of London’s distinguished Harley Street medical district, Marcos Sforza Plastic Surgery Clinic is at the forefront of aesthetic transformation and personal rejuvenation.Â
The procedure of Liposuction involves the removal of fat via more defined cannulas that is passed through the fatty tissue from a small incision made to the area of the body being treated. Ultrasound waves are directed into the fat to break it up into small deposits before a gentle suction process removes the fat cells.
Liposuction is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body, revealing a more sculpted and refined silhouette. Ideal for those seeking to eliminate stubborn fat resistant to diet and exercise, liposuction offers a path to achieving your desired body contours. At Marcos Sforza Plastic Surgery Clinic, we utilise advanced liposuction technology to ensure safe, efficient, and optimal outcomes for our patients.

The reality is a Liposuction surgical procedure usually creates pooling of excess lymphatic fluids. This results in swelling and dissatisfaction with the patient. Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a specialised massage technique that is recommended by plastic surgeons, after liposuction, to accelerate the recuperation period. The science behind why this massage works is fairly simple. Stroking the areas of the body that process the lymph fluid, and the lymph nodes, causes the fluid to drain. This massage procedure works well and has been demonstrated to show positive results, only after a couple of massage treatments! However, most patients need 4 to 6 LDM treatments to remove most of the excess fluid. Patients can expect relief from swelling after the 6th treatment. Doctors will advise their patients that, without LDM, there is a risk that the swelling and inflammation could turn into fibrosis, which is a permanent hardening of the area. LDM ensures you’ll achieve the best results possible from the surgery. A professional LDM massage therapist will know exactly what to do. He/she will massage in right place and with the right amount of pressure. However, this can be a DIY project at home, if you so choose.
Immediately after surgery, you will be taken into a recovery area for close monitoring. You may be permitted to go home when you are stable for discharge, typically after an hour or so. During the recovery the nurses will measure your Blood pressure through a cuff. She will also attach a monitor to your finger to check your pulse and level of Oxygen in your blood to ensure you are fully oxygenated. Before leaving, you will be given specific postoperative instructions for your recovery and a follow- up appointment with your plastic surgeon. You may also receive medications or a prescription, but many plastic surgeons prescribe postoperative medications in advance. Your prescribed medications may include pain pills and an antibiotic to prevent infection. We advise no showering for one week which is a very difficult task for anyone. We advise that it is ok to have regular hand showers with lukewarm water and ensuring no water is submerged onto the incisions. We will advise you of this before you leave the hospital.
You will return to the hospital for your post-operative review, in which any stitches are removed. Though the surgeon uses dissolvable stitches, we will check to make sure your incisions have healed. You will also be assessed with any leftover swelling and any advice to help improve your recovery time.
As apart of your aftercare, we advise all patients to book in once a year to see their surgeon for a brief assessment of the consistent results.
The amount of time you’ll need to take off work after liposuction varies based on several factors, including the scale of your procedure, the specific areas treated, and your body’s natural healing process.Â
Post-operative follow-up is of paramount importance. Each patient undergoing any Cosmetic Surgery will be given post operative appointments for wound management and suture removal. Post-operative instructions are vital and we consider it very important that you adhere to them. Failing to follow these guidelines and attend your appointments can adversely affect the outcome of surgery and put patient safety at risk.
