Procedure Overview

Get the body you desire and remove unwanted stubborn fat for good. A popular cosmetic procedure in the UK, liposuction is a very quick and effective way of sculpting different areas of the body by removing stubborn fatty deposits permanently.

Our specialist Dr Anna De Leo carried out in our London clinic can use Liposuction to sculpt and contour specific parts of your body by removing excess fat in certain localised areas, including abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs, knees, kneck, cheeks and chin.

We recommend 7-10 days off work after Liposuction. You will have small incisions on the area treated with dissolvable sutures, this area must be kept clean and dry.

Look great, be confident.

Stop worrying about your hair.

Cosmetic Procedure Screening Questionnaire

It can be used as a screening questionnaire to tell whether you might have BDD.

1) How often do you do you deliberately check your feature(s)? Not accidentally catch sight of it. Please include looking at your feature in a mirror or other reflective surfaces like a shop window or looking at it directly or feeling it with your fingers.
2) To what extent do you feel your feature(s) are currently ugly, unattractive or ‘not right’?
3) To what extent does your feature(s) currently cause you a lot of distress?
4) How often does your feature(s) currently lead you to avoid situations or activities?
5) To what extent does your feature(s) currently preoccupy you? That is, you think about it a lot and it is hard to stop thinking about it?
6) If you have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on your relationship with an existing partner? (e.g. affectionate feelings, number of arguments, enjoying activities together). If you do not have a partner, to what extent does your feature(s) currently have an effect on dating or developing a relationship?
7) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your ability to work or study, or your role as a homemaker? (Please rate this even if you are not working or studying: we are interested in your ability to work or study.)
8) To what extent does your feature(s) currently interfere with your social life? (with other people, e.g. parties, pubs, clubs, outings, visits, home entertainment)
9) To what extent, do you feel your appearance is the most important aspect of who you are?
