What are the alternatives to liposuction?

Liposuction alternatives do exist, although for substantial areas of fat reduction we would recommend traditional Liposuction. This is because this technique is more effective at removing fat cells, tightening the skin and permanently changing the shape than other Liposuction alternatives. Liposuction alternatives include: 

• Surgical Fat Excision - the fat is removed, but it is not easy to thin large areas via this technique without multiple operations. This method is used in procedures such as Breast Reduction and Arm Lifts. 
• Chemical injections  - Desoxycholic acid (Kybella, Lipodissolve, Aqualyx) destroys fat but is painful and requires multiple treatments. There is also little control as to where the injected drug will spread, again potentially causing irregularities. We do not use them at Cadogan Clinic for these reasons. 
• Non-surgical treatments – good for those who do not want a surgical operation. These are significantly less effective when it comes to achieving meaningful results, and are not recommended for those looking for significant outcomes. 

In this post, we seek to share some of the best alternatives to Liposuction alongside some of the most effective non-surgical fat removal treatments on the market. 

What is the most effective, non surgical form of fat removal?

The most effective non-surgical form of fat removal for you will depend on your individual concerns and your desired results. 

A simple weight loss programme can also work wonders for fat removal without the need for any surgery. However, the time cost must be weighed up as for many, surgery may provide the solution they’ve been longing for. 

What is the cheapest form of liposuction?

The cheapest form of Liposuction is likely to be a non-surgical form of fat removal that may not deliver meaningful long-term results. 

As such, we would strongly recommend surgical Liposuction as the most cost effective form of Liposuction, which will make more financial sense when final results and longevity are taken into account. 

Surgical Liposuction starts from £3,950 at Cadogan Clinic.

Conclusion

There are many alternatives to traditional Liposuction which can be cost effective and require less physical treatment, however the proven reliability of surgery (and the transformative results of Liposuction) makes it a hard contender to beat. We advise all individuals to thoroughly research these methods and consult trained professionals, such as those at our clinic, before any vast decisions are made.
