What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is where fat is removed from specific and stubborn areas of the body which do not otherwise respond to low-calorie diets or exercise regimes.
This treatment is suitable for anyone with stubborn fatty areas that won’t budge. You must be a stable weight and medically fit to have the operation.
The Results
Results are best in areas where the skin is tight and can therefore spring back into shape for example the outer thighs and saddlebag areas
Treated areas usually result in a better fit to clothing.
Patient review
“For as long as I can remember I have hated my legs, to the point where I would wear tights on the hottest days of the year, and the thought of getting them out filled me with dread. After last Summer, I decided that I wanted some confidence back and that going to the gym and eating healthily just wasn’t enough. I had really stubborn fat on my things that wouldn’t shift.
I had heard about Mr Lambe as I used to work in healthcare a few years ago, so made an appointment to meet with him at Spire Manchester hospital last October. Mr Lambe is everything you could ever possibly want in a surgeon. He is personable, kind and compassionate, making sure he listened to my concerns. Not once was he pushy which I think is a very imporant trait in a surgeon, especially in plastic surgery. He was pragmatic in his approach, ensuring he was as realistic as possible with the results I could expect. After my first consultation, he gave me time to go away and digest. Before I could go ahead with the surgery I went back to see Mr Lambe for a second consultation where we talked through the surgery and the outcome in even more detail which I found really useful, it was an opportunity to ask any questions I had missed the firt time around.
His Practice Manager, Jayne Bailey, is nothing short of fantastic. She is always just a phone call away and is always on hand for advice and support and checked in with me throughout the entire process, the end-to-end service is seamless. After my surgery she called me several tims to make sure I was okay. Even two months after my surgery we are still in regular contact, she has been an absolute dream – thanks Jayne.
I am thrilled with my results so far, they are far better than I could have ever imagined and I never thought I’d feel this confident about wearing shorts and getting my legs out. Thank you so much Mr Lambe and Jayne!”

You are overweight, with a BMI of over 32, smoke or vape, are in bad health and are taking anti-coagulant medication or are diabetic.What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a way of sculpting the body by sucking away fat in a carefully controlled manner.
Areas that you would like to reduce are targetted so that those key areas appear flatter.
Liposuction is typically given to the sides of the tummy (which helps to give an hourglass figure), upper thighs and inner thighs, but any area that is giving you cause for concern really.
How is it done?
Depending on the size of the area, you may be able to have the procedure awake (with Local Anaesthetic) or asleep (under General Anaesthetic). First Mr Lambe will see you on the morning of surgery and mark out the area(s) to be treated. This is important and acts as a map. Next a special cocktail of fluid containing anaesthetic and adrenaline to control pain and bleeding is injected into the area. Very small incisions are used and these are not placed symmetrically as this is more noticeable than marks that are offset.
What happens after the liposuction operation?
You will come back from theatre wearing a compression garment and this is a very important part of the post op care so that you get the best result. The garment helps to stop swelling and fluid collections and ensures that the skin that was lifted up during the procedure sticks down smoothly.
You will have tiny wounds that are closed with dissolving stitches..
How long do I wear the garment for?
The best results are obtained from wearing the garment for 6 weeks but a minimum of 4 weeks is recommended.
When do I come back for a check up?
Mr Lambe will see you 2 weeks after the operation to check that your wounds are healing nicely.
Who gets the best results?
The best results from Liposuction are in areas where you have tight skin and the skin therefore snaps back when the fat is emptied out.
Good areas are the outer thighs and saddlebag area.
If you have loose hanging skin in the area to be treated then Mr Lambe will assess you at your consultation.
What are the potential complications?
You can develop small collections of fluid under the skin called seromas. This can be avoided by using your post op garment.
You may have lumpy or uneven areas which again can be minimised by wearing your post op garment for a minimum of 4 weeks and best after 6 weeks. You can develop infections or poor scarring but this will be monitored post operatively.
Is laser/ultrasound liposuction better than traditional liposuction?
All liposuction relies on very similar principles of removing the fat by suction but some companies have added ways of trying to break up the fat into smaller portions to make it easier to target key areas by using either vibration, heat or ultrasound. These make the Surgeon’s job a little easier but they risk causing burns to the skin and for this reason I do not use them as I have always been able to get good results with conventional and safe liposuction..
