Liposuction prices

While the cost of liposuction for lipoedema is naturally a major factor in the study of an operation, it should not be the most important factor.

Several factors determine the costs of an operation, the most important being the amount of time and effort on the surgeon’s part.

Dr Gupta will consider the number of areas being treated when agreeing on a cost for the procedure and whether all can be treated in “one sitting.” The patient’s size, area of treatment and expected degree of difficulty of the specific procedure are also considered.

In certain areas, the total cost will be affected by more time and attention than elsewhere.

Dr Gupta is only involved in the liposuction procedure with clients he feels will benefit.

No customer is the same, and Dr Gupta can measure suitability only after consultation and then propose a procedure cost.

The patient journey

Consultation

Before any aesthetic treatments, a thorough consultation at our clinic is essential. During this session, a comprehensive holistic and integrative medical assessment will be conducted to ensure your safety and suitability for the treatment. This initial step is crucial in your aesthetic journey, as it guarantees you receive the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your desired results. Additionally, the consultation offers an opportunity to understand your needs, answer any questions, and address any concerns you may have.

Treatment

Microlipo is carried out totally under Tumescent local anaesthesia by injecting large volumes(2-4L) of diluted anaesthetic solution inside the target fatty pocket to be removed until the area becomes firm, hard and swollen. The anaesthetic drug inside the solution numbs the whole area, causes fat cells to swell up and breakdown and also shrinks the blood capillaries in the area to minimise blood loss. This achieves a very effective and long lasting anaesthesia of skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Microlipo under tumescent local anaesthesia has eliminated the risks associated with general anaesthesia and risks of excessive surgical bleeding thereby eliminating greatest dangers associated with older and other forms of liposuction. It minimises blood loss so effectively that vast majority of patients only lose about 15-30ml(1-2 tablespoons) of blood even during large volume liposuction.

A tiny tube called a microcannula, connected to a suction or vacuum, then sucks the tumescent fluid from the body, removing the fat.

Unlike traditional liposuction, where the cannula diameter is six to 10 millimetres, microcannula are smaller, allowing the fat to be removed in a slower and more uniformed manner. This results in a smoother finish, and the procedure is so minimally invasive it leaves almost no trace any work has been carried out. One of the main benefits of microlipo is the elimination of the need for pain medication after the procedure, as the effect of the local anaesthetic lasts for many hours.

Tumescent liposuction, when done correctly and in the right quantity, is proven to be the safest form of liposuction. This is because the anaesthetic solution shrinks the capillaries thereby reducing surgical blood loss. Complications arising from microlipo are thus extremely rare.

Aftercare

All patients must wear compression clothing after the procedure to speed up their recovery and minimise post-operative bruising. Inside thighs and lower legs are challenging areas from a recovery point of view, and such patients should wear their compression clothing for at least two weeks and rest with raised legs as much as possible.

After the procedure, compression apparel is applied, and the patient is informed about how to ensure that the area is compressed until two weeks after the procedure.

There is little or no bruising due to the specialised nature of the procedure and postoperative drainage.

A treatment plan is agreed upon at your consultation. Checks will continue for several weeks while our friendly team will help patients rework as their lives can be changed rapidly.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure and simply means fat removal.

Over the years liposuction has evolved a lot and gone are the days of traditional liposuction involving general anaesthesia leading to hospital stays, blood losses, various postoperative complications which at times lead to death.

Dr Jeffrey Klein, a dermatologic surgeon from California, USA, invented a type of local anaesthesia called Tumescent Anaesthesia in 1986 which revolutionised the world of medicine. It was now possible to perform liposuction totally under local anaesthesia.

Tumescent is an English word meaning ‘firm &swollen’. Tumescent anaesthesia involves injecting large volumes(2-4L) of diluted anaesthetic solution inside the target fatty pocket to be removed until the area becomes firm, hard and swollen,.

The anaesthetic drug inside the solution numbs the whole area, causes fat cells to swell up and breakdown and shrinks the blood capillaries in the area to minimise blood loss.

There are 2 types of Tumescent Liposuction:

Micro Lipo

Micro cannular liposuction or also known as microlipo, is a minimally invasive fat-removal technique using very thin cannulas ranging 1–3 mm in diameter. This is performed under local anaesthetic as walk-in walkout procedure with quick recovery, making it the safest form of liposuction. Compared to traditional and other modern types of liposuctions, microlipo achieves much better finesse and aesthetic results with no visible scarring and minimal downtime allowing patients to return to their routine activities within 2-4 days depending upon the area of treatment.

It can be used for bigger as well as smaller pockets of fat making it an ideal technique for body contouring.

All body parts of any size can be treated but most suited for challenging areas like chin, arms, thighs & legs and breast.
Micro-cannulas, allowing a gentle, precise procedure with minimal downtime, low risk, and beautiful natural results.

Microlipo can be adminstered under local anaesthetic. There’s no need for general anaesthesia.

Vaser Lipo

Vaser liposuction is one of the many modern-day liposuction techniques available to be done under local anaesthesia as a walk-in walk-out procedure avoiding hospital stays.

Its performed under local anaesthesia alone or sometimes combined with IV sedation depending upon the size of the treatment area. Vaser is a type of ultrasound-assisted liposuction that heat and liquefies the fat, which is achieved by inserting a cannula into that issue.

Once liquefied, the suction process begins using another cannula to pull the fat out of the body.
