Liposuction in London — Harley Street
Consultant-led · day surgery · Harley Street, London
Liposuction permanently removes stubborn pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. At Minor Surgery UK a consultant plastic surgeon performs it as day surgery on Harley Street, from £5,400 per area. Most patients return to desk work within about a week, wearing a compression garment while swelling settles.
What liposuction involves
Through small incisions, fine cannulas remove fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms or chin. It contours the body — it is not a weight-loss treatment or a substitute for it.
Who it suits
Liposuction suits people near their target weight with localised, diet-resistant fat and good skin elasticity. Your surgeon will advise whether liposuction alone, or another option, best fits your goal.
Recovery
Expect bruising, swelling and a compression garment for four to six weeks. Most people return to desk work within a week; the final contour appears over two to three months as swelling resolves.
Cost
Liposuction starts from £5,400 per area, all-inclusive. Treating multiple areas is quoted at consultation. Cosmetic procedures may be subject to VAT, shown in your written quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does liposuction cost in London?
Liposuction at Minor Surgery UK starts from £5,400 per area, all-inclusive. The total depends on how many areas are treated, confirmed in your written quote.
Is liposuction permanent?
The fat cells removed do not return, so results are long-lasting — but remaining fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight, so a stable weight maintains the result.
What anaesthetic is used?
Depending on the size of the area, liposuction is done under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. Your surgeon will recommend the safest option.
How long is recovery after liposuction?
Most people return to desk work within about a week and wear a compression garment for four to six weeks. The final shape settles over two to three months.
Is liposuction a weight-loss treatment?
No. Liposuction contours specific areas of diet-resistant fat; it is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for weight loss.
Will there be scars?
Incisions are very small (a few millimetres) and placed discreetly, so any scars are usually minor and fade over time.
