How much does it cost?

Liposuction prices UK are on average between £4,000-£8,000. The cost of liposuction can vary for many reasons. One being the amount of liposuction needed.

In Turkey, the typical cost of a liposuction procedure is between $1,500 and $6,000 USD per area. It’s vital to remember that these numbers are approximations

Liposuction is usually carried out under general anaesthetic, although an epidural anaesthetic may be used for liposuction on lower parts of the body.

The surgeon would mark on your body the area where fat is to be removed. They would then:

inject this area with a solution containing anaesthetic and medicine, to reduce blood loss, bruising and swelling
break up the fat cells using high-frequency vibrations, a weak laser pulse or a high-pressure water jet
make a small incision (cut) and insert a suction tube attached to a vacuum machine (several cuts may need to be made if the area is large)
move the suction tube back and forth to loosen the fat and suck it out
drain any excess fluid and blood
stitch up and bandage the treated area

This usually takes 1 to 3 hours. Most people need to stay in hospital overnight.

Afterwards

After the procedure, you’d be fitted with an elasticated support corset or compression bandages. This helps to reduce swelling and bruising, and should be worn constantly for several weeks after the operation.

You may need to take antibiotics straight after the procedure to reduce the risk of infection. Most people also take mild painkillers to ease any pain and swelling.

Recovery

If you had a general anaesthetic, someone would need to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.

How long it will be before you are able to return to work will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of job that you do and how much of your body was treated.

The same will apply to how long it will be before you are able to drive. You should discuss this with your surgeon.

The bandage or corset can be taken off while you shower.

You will need to avoid strenuous activity for up to 4 to 6 weeks (but walking and general movement should be fine).

The results of the procedure are not always noticeable until the swelling has gone down. It can take up to 6 months for the area to settle completely.

After about a week: Stitches would be removed (unless you had dissolvable stitches).

At 4 to 6 weeks: You should be able to resume any contact sports or strenuous activities you’d normally do.

Side effects to expect

It’s common after liposuction to have:

bruising and swelling, which may last up to 6 months
numbness, which should go away in 6 to 8 weeks
scars
inflammation of the treated area, or the veins underneath
fluid coming from the cuts
swollen ankles (if the legs or ankles are treated)

What could go wrong

Liposuction can occasionally result in:

bleeding under the skin (haematoma)
persistent numbness that can last for months
changes in skin colour in the treated area
a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema) from the fluid injected into the body
a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism)
damage to internal organs during the procedure

Any type of operation also carries a small risk of:

excessive bleeding
developing a blood clot in a vein
infection
an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic

The surgeon should explain how likely these risks and complications are, and how they would be treated if they occurred.
