Liposuction at Ashbury Cosmetic: Treatment Overview
Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove localised fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is selected by individuals seeking body contouring where fat reduction has not been achieved through diet and exercise alone. At Ashbury Cosmetic, liposuction is performed following a structured clinical assessment and treatment plan.
What Liposuction Involves
Liposuction uses specialised instruments to remove fat from targeted areas. Small incisions are made, and a cannula is inserted to break up and extract fat tissue. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic, depending on the treatment area and clinical requirements.
Common treatment areas include:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Hips
- Flanks
- Upper arms
- Chin and neck
The approach is tailored based on the individual’s anatomy, treatment goals, and clinical evaluation.
Suitability and Consultation
Liposuction is not a weight loss method. It is generally considered for individuals with stable body weight who present with localised fat deposits. Suitability is determined during a confidential consultation, where medical history, current health status, and treatment expectations are reviewed.
A qualified practitioner will assess:
- Skin quality and elasticity
- Distribution of fat
- Overall health and medical history
- Potential risks and outcomes
A personalised treatment plan is provided following this assessment.
Procedure and Recovery
Procedure duration varies depending on the number of areas treated. After the procedure, a compression garment is typically recommended to support the treated areas.
Recovery timelines vary, however general considerations may include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Limited physical activity during the initial recovery period
- Gradual return to normal routines as advised by the practitioner
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and healing.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, liposuction carries potential risks. These may include infection, contour irregularities, fluid accumulation, or changes in sensation. All risks and potential outcomes are discussed during the consultation process.
Results and Maintenance
Liposuction removes fat cells from targeted areas. Outcomes vary depending on individual factors such as lifestyle, body composition, and adherence to post-procedure guidance. Maintaining a stable weight through diet and physical activity supports long-term results.
