About this
Service

Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure for removing stubborn, exercise-resistant fat from the body. The procedure is commonly performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, neck and arms to contour the body and improve body shape. It can benefit people who are at or near their ideal weight but still have pockets of fat that they would like to see reduced. The surgery involves the use of a cannula to suction out unwanted fat from targeted areas. The remaining skin then adjusts to the new contours of the body. This is not a weight loss surgery, but merely takes excess fat away.

Vaser

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) technology used in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that targets and removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. During VASER liposuction, Professor Hindocha makes small incisions in the targeted area and inserts a probe that emits ultrasound waves. These ultrasonic waves specifically target and break down the fat cells while leaving other tissues, such as blood vessels and nerves, largely unaffected. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out through a cannula, resulting in a smoother contour and improved body shape.
