Gynecomastia or excess tissue in the male breast area is extremely common, and does not necessarily depend on your overall body weight. Some people with normal weight can deposit tissue in their chest area, whereas other people of much higher weight do not deposit tissue in this area. The options between treatments lie between Liposuction […]
VASER Liposuction is the most modern type of Liposuction available. It essentially uses ultrasound energy to disperse the fatty tissue prior to being removed by Liposuction. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic with you awake. The ultrasound energy is delivered by a cannula that is used to disrupt fatty cells in the area. The […]
There are various different approaches to Liposuction used by Surgeons, but VASER has some major advantages over the traditional technique. In VASER Liposuction, ultrasound energy is used to disperse the fatty tissue in the affected area. The ultrasound energy causes the fatty acids to dissolve and release the contained fatty tissue. This emulsified fatty tissue is […]

In each of these techniques the fatty tissue is removed by suction through hollow tubes (cannulas). The difference is in how the fatty tissue is treated prior to it being sucked out. In VASER Liposuction an ultrasound […]
Could Liposuction be the right treatment for you? Well, the answer really depends on your specific case. Let’s start by saying this – Liposuction is not the cure for excess weight. Generally if you are overweight, particularly if your body mass index is over 30, Liposuction is not the treatment for you. You need to address your […]
Today we saw a lady with a scar on her abdomen. She’d had a mole removed ten years previously and stitched up by her general practitioner. The scar had faded well and was now a very light silvery colour, but unfortunately she’d been left with small dots on either side of the incision. These dots […]
Scarring for Liposuction is usually very minimal and we tend to advise people that it will usually fade to a very small pale scar. Generally for each area that has Liposuction two small incisions will be required. In some cases three will be needed. This is because to achieve a flat result it is best […]
