If you are experiencing problems with localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise then liposuction could provide the solution. Liposuction is a technique used to remove unwanted fat deposits.

It was developed in the 1970's and is best suited to removing localised deposits of fat from the hips, tummy, waist or thighs. It can also be used in combination with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to remove fat from the waistline. It is a technique for improving body shape rather than helping with weight loss. More recent developments, known as liposculpture, have allowed our surgeons to refine their skills and ability to reshape the contour of the body. The best results occur in patients who are not overweight, but who have localised deposits of fat and the elasticity of the skin as the skin will need to adapt to a new contour when the underlying fat is removed.

For overweight patients a Gastric Balloon may first be considered to help bring weight down in preparation for liposuction. This will be carefully assessed at your consultation with one of our surgeons.

 

Frequently asked questions


How is the fat removed?

The surgeon inserts a ‘Cannula’ (small tube-like syringe) through small puncture incisions in the skin. Saline solution and local anaesthetic are normally introduced to help break down fat cells. These cells are then drawn out through the tube leaving a much smoother surface.

Which areas can benefit from liposuction?

It is beneficial in treating such areas as the stomach and ‘love handles’ (fat that has accumulated on the sides of the waist) and in conjunction with a Tummy Tuck. It is also used on the inner and outer thighs, knees, calves, ankles, buttocks, arms, shoulder blades and other areas of isolated fat deposits. Double chins and fatty necks will also benefit.

Will I need to take time off work?

Yes, normally 7 -14 days is required off work and the surgeon may advise you to take more time off. Surgery is generally performed under general anaesthesia for large areas but local anaesthesia is also considered advised by your surgeon. The procedure usually takes 1-3 hours and normally requires an overnight stay in hospital.

Will I feel pain afterwards?

There will be pain and discomfort for several days after the operation and pain killers and anti inflammatory medication will be prescribed. The patients usually experience an aching sensation for a week or two and occasional ‘twinge’ for some months. Pain after surgery is variable from patient to patient and the full results may be obscured by swelling and bruising for several months which will be explained by your surgeon. A specially designed compression garment will be fitted after the operation and this should be worn for 2-6 weeks as determined by surgeon and area being treated.

Will I have any scars?

Small incision sites of about a quarter of an inch will be left placed wherever possible in a body fold or crease. In many cases these sites do not even require a suture due to small size. As with most scars, given time they will generally fade and become virtually undetectable.

Laser hair removal

Welcome to Court House Clinics. Under the guidance of Dr Patrick Bowler (well known from the television programme “10 years younger”) Court House has grown to offer a huge range of cosmetic and beauty treatments. Whilst these cover everything from high surgery treatments such as a face lift through to cosmetic injections for lines and wrinkles, in recent times laser hair removal has become one of our most popular treatments. Laser hair removal is a great way to deal with the growth of unwanted hair without having to go through the day-to-day ritual of shaving. With so many people coming to us for laser hair removal, we are now in position to offer it at a very competitive price. We also have regular promotions on it as well, for both new and existing hair removal customers.

Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is no longer the preserve of the rich and famous but is now accessible to everyone. This is largely due to safer techniques, reduced downtime with shorter scars, and greater awareness due to media exposure. It is also partly down to the larger number of people who have had non-surgical treatments before diving straight into cosmetic surgery.

The most common treatment that is carried out is liposuction (tummy tuck), rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), otoplasty (ear correction) and blepharoplasty (eyebag or eyelid surgery). These are often carried out in conjunction with treatments such as chin or cheek implants.

The most common surgery carried on women is breast enlargement (augmentation) and then mastopexy (breast uplift) closely followed by breast reduction surgery and face-lifts. However we are also seeing a marked increase for requests for labia and vaginal plastic surgeries.

Arguably the biggest change in recent years is the increase in demand for male cosmetic surgeries, with the most popular treatments being chest reduction, pectoral implant and testicular implants.

Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments

The demand for non-surgical treatments has grown at an even faster rate than cosmetic surgery. The treatments that are most in demand are laser hair removal and microdermabrasion treatments. These can mimic the effects of surgery or be used in combination with surgical procedures to enhance and prolong results.

For people with problem skin scientific breakthroughs now mean we are able to offer some of the best acne treatments available in combination with most effective anti aging treatments. For example we have invested in some of the latest acne laser treatment and when combined with chemical glycolic skin peels or perlane injections this can create similar effects as a cosmetic face-lift surgery and is very effect treatment for acne scarring.

Some of the non-surgical options provide a real alternative to surgery. A prime example of this is smart Lipo. This laser assisted liposculpture provides fast fat loss where the fat is actually dissolved by the body naturally. For small areas of localised fat this treatment is sometimes better than Liposuction as it is minimally invasive and involves little downtime.

In addition to these treatments we also offer thread vein removal, sculptra, perlane and restylane injections, skin tag removal, mole removal, cyst removal and laser tattoo removal.

Hair Restoration


Hair loss is a distressing condition that affects many people. Here at Court House Clinics we offer a number of hair Loss Solutions. These treatments include hair hair transplantation, micrografting, follicular unit extraction and hair implantation. We also provide a number of treatments specific to female hair loss.
