Liposuction, or ‘lipo’ as it is sometimes known, is a cosmetic procedure used to remove unwanted body fat.
Yes, a thigh lift is likely to leave a scar. The location and length of the scar are dependent upon where the incision is placed and the extent to which skin is removed. Your surgeon will try to hide this in the natural creases and folds of your thigh region.
These scars will heal over time and can heal faster with the use of over the counter treatments. You should expect most scars to be well hidden with particular underwear or clothing.

Get in TouchVaser liposuction breaks apart fat cells and loosens them from deeper tissues. Vaser claimed to be quicker, more effective and less painful than other techniques. However, used elsewhere, we have seen lumpy results and occasional burns. The frequent complication is the development of seromas or collections of fluid requiring drainage. The Cadogan Clinic does not recommend this method of liposuction.
We do not use any ultrasound techniques, popularised in the UK such as Vaser, as we consider that it has no advantage and adds unnecessary complications.
After years of research in the US, the founder of the clinic and pioneer of liposuction in the UK, Bryan Mayou, determined ultrasound liposuction carried many potential risks and it was recommended that ultrasound should only be used for short periods of time necessitating the use of traditional liposuction to complete the procedure.
Since this time ultrasound has reappeared in different forms of which the most popular in the UK is Vaser. As a centre for liposuction, the Cadogan Clinic has built up huge experience and therefore does see a number of poor results from elsewhere, requiring reconstruction. Almost all of these are where Vaser has been used. Mr Mayou believes that trained surgeons can make different techniques work well for themselves, but it remains our experience that Vaser has problems. It is claimed to be quicker, more effective and less painful than other techniques. This is simply not true. We see lumpy results and occasional burns. The frequent complication is the development of seromas or collections of fluid requiring drainage. This does not occur with traditional liposuction, and it is only Vaser that is still producing them. The Cadogan Clinic does not recommend its use.
There are several different types of liposuction performed here at the Cadogan Clinic.
There are also ultrasound techniques, but we do not use these at the Cadogan Clinic. We consider that it has no advantage and adds unnecessary complications.
Words from our clients:
"I was extremely satisfied with the care and treatment I received at the Cadogan Clinic. My surgeon was friendly and informative and explained the procedure fully. My procedure went very well and with the excellent care of the nursing staff, I made a speedy and full recovery. Would recommend to anyone."Eva Berry
"At the beginning before the operation the nurse taking care of me made me feel so comfortable. The surgeon and anesthetist helped me feel so calm. Fantastic before and after treatment"Scarlett Elliott
“I was treated with care and provided with thorough knowledge about the procedure I was undertaking. My surgeon was very methodical (a perfectionist) and I felt I received A class treatment."Courtney O'Sullivan
"Outstanding experience from the first appointment to being discharged. Very professional, friendly and a fantastic outcome."Gemma Stevenson
"Reception staff very welcoming and efficient. Both nurses who I dealt with were fantastic, and the whole team (anaesthetist, surgeon etc) were friendly but professional, and really put my mind at ease. That I was able to stay later than I perhaps needed after my surgery to fit in with my husbands schedule was greatly appreciated."Emma Davies
Lipo works by sucking out small areas of fat that are hard to lose through diet and exercise. It's carried out on areas of the body where deposits of fat tend to collect, such as the buttocks, hips, thighs and stomach.
The procedure is carried out under general anesthetic. The surgeon will mark out on the body the areas of fat to be removed. They then inject this area with a solution containing anaesthetic and medicine, to reduce blood loss, bruising and swelling. The fat cells are broken up, the surgeon makes a small incision and a suction tube attached to a vacuum machine is placed in the cut. The tube is moved back and forth to loosen the fat and suck it out. Excess fluid and blood is drained and the treated area is stitched and bandaged. The whole process usually takes between one and three hours.
You can lose a few pounds or kilos of weight with liposuction. The aim of the procedure is less about losing weight, however, but more about giving the body a more sculpted look. Maintaining a healthy diet after the procedure is essential to help keep this new shape.
Liposuction can be carried out on the stomach and is an effective method for getting rid of belly fat. In fact, liposuction results can be pretty transformational. That said, liposuction is more of a sculpting tool for the belly region, than a tool for completely getting rid of belly fat.
