Liposuction in Edinburgh from $1,200

Yes, this is normal practice. A single area alone is rarely treated: patients more commonly combine problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks, or the inner and outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons will help you settle on the optimal scope of surgery for your health and desired result.

No. Liposuction is not about weight loss. It removes stubborn local fat deposits that diet and exercise can't shift and reshapes body contours. If your weight is unstable, consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

Liposuction is performed through 3–7 mm punctures that usually require no stitches. The healed marks are barely visible and, with proper care during recovery, disappear completely.

Assessing skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery is something the surgeon always does. Skin in good condition tightens naturally to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

No — the procedure is done under anesthesia, local or general depending on the scope. Mild discomfort is possible after surgery and is relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

For 7 days after surgery avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting. Keep compression garments on for 4–6 weeks and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sports. Alcohol and tanning beds are not allowed for at least a month. All individual advice is given by your surgeon after surgery.

Patients 18+ with no contraindications are eligible. There's no upper age limit, and the decision is made individually after examination and a health assessment.

Not directly. It removes fat but leaves unchanged the skin structure causing cellulite. Nevertheless, improved body contours visibly lessen its appearance.

In 7–10 days most patients return to work and their normal routine. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5, and the final result forms in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. Stop smoking, alcohol and medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests are also needed: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and anesthesiologist. All instructions are given after your first consultation.

Changes start to show 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling has gone. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed, and in 3–6 months the final contours form.
