Gaining weight is usually a result of consuming more calories than the body naturally expels, causing a build-up of extra fat under the skin. Maintaining a healthy weight and BMI can be achieved by eating healthily and exercising regularly, however other factors such as ageing and hormonal changes can make this difficult.

Feelings of self-consciousness and frustration can result from a person who is affected by having stubborn areas of fat, seeking methods such as shape enhancing garments or baggier clothing, to conceal this concern.

Liposculpture can be used to successfully treat areas such as: arms, thighs, stomach, buttocks and submental fat (under the chin), but should not be used as an alternative method of weight loss or to replace a healthy lifestyle. The procedure is performed under a general anaesthetic and can be treated either as a day case or may require an overnight stay in hospital, depending on the size of the area to be treated.

The treatment itself involves seeing small incisions being made to the area of concern, whereby a cannula can be inserted to break up the deposits of fat. A device is then applied to the cannula that will suck out the fat in small amounts, before fine sutures are used to close the wound and dressings are applied. You will be advised to wear compression garments, all day everyday, for up to 6 weeks post-treatment. For around 2 weeks after the operation, you will need to take it easy. Being mindful not to undertake strenuous activities, taking the necessary time off work, following careful aftercare advice and taking painkillers to reduce any discomfort.

Mr. Marando will arrange the necessary follow up consultations, in which he will assess your recovery, ensure the healing process is successful and that results are developing well and fulfilling your expectations.

The final results from this treatment will be visible around 3 – 6 months after the procedure, when you will notice a smoother outline to your figure, and can restore improved body confidence. The up-keep of a healthy diet and regular exercise will help to maintain effective long-term results.
