If you are concerned about areas of fat that do not respond to changes in diet or exercise, we can help you explore your options. At SRGN, we offer liposuction to address localised excess fat.
Some areas of fat may remain despite changes in diet and exercise. Age, genetics, hormones and lifestyle can all influence how the body stores fat.
At SRGN, Dr Ayad Harb offers liposuction to address localised fat. This treatment focuses on body contouring rather than weight loss.
Fat removal via liposuction may be suitable if you:
Are close to a healthy weight
Have good skin tone and elasticity
Struggle with localised fat despite a healthy lifestyle
Want long-term, natural-looking results
This treatment isn’t for significant weight loss, but it can dramatically enhance body contours and boost confidence when done for the right reasons.
At SRGN, we treat excess fat through liposuction — a proven, minimally invasive surgical method. It allows us to remove fat cells from precise areas and sculpt a more balanced, defined shape. We tailor every procedure to your goals and body type.
Unlike crash diets or cosmetic fads, this is a clinically backed treatment performed by experienced surgeons in a controlled medical setting.
Excess fat can build up almost anywhere. The most commonly treated areas include:
You can choose to treat one area or combine several during the same procedure.
Liposuction is performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the areas involved. Through small, discreet incisions, we insert a narrow tube (called a cannula) to gently break down and remove the fat. At SRGN, we use modern liposuction methods that prioritise precision, minimal downtime, and a smooth recovery.
Most procedures are completed in under three hours, and patients usually go home the same day.
Recovery is straightforward for most people. You might feel some bruising or tightness, and we’ll advise wearing a compression garment for support. You’ll be up and moving within days, with swelling starting to settle after a few weeks.
Your results will become more noticeable over time, with full results typically seen within three to six months. Once removed, the fat doesn’t return — as long as your weight remains stable.
We plan your procedure around your body, concerns and goals, and provide aftercare guidance as you recover.
Book a consultation to understand whether liposuction is suitable for you and discuss what it may achieve.
Yes, you can. At SRGN Clinic, we remove stubborn fat using advanced liposuction techniques. It’s a safe and effective way to target areas that resist lifestyle changes, helping you achieve a more sculpted and balanced appearance.
Costs vary depending on the area treated, the technique used, and whether multiple zones are involved. At SRGN Clinic, pricing is discussed after a full consultation to ensure the plan is tailored to your needs — with no hidden fees.
For precise and permanent results, liposuction remains the gold standard in body fat removal. It physically removes fat cells from targeted areas, providing noticeable contouring that can’t be achieved through non-invasive options alone.
In some cases, diet and exercise can reduce belly fat. However, if skin has stretched or there’s significant excess, surgery may be the most effective option. Non-surgical treatments can help mild cases, but won’t tighten loose skin or remove deep fat layers as effectively as liposuction.
Belly liposuction in the UK typically ranges from £3,500 depending on the extent of the treatment and the clinic’s expertise. At SRGN Clinic, we offer detailed pricing following your consultation to ensure full transparency and customisation.
Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate — similar to muscle soreness or bruising. We manage pain with medication and ongoing support. At SRGN Clinic, we use modern, low-trauma techniques to minimise pain during and after the procedure.
It depends on your skin’s natural elasticity. If your skin is firm and resilient, it will usually tighten on its own after fat is removed. In cases of reduced elasticity or significant volume loss, you may notice some looseness. We assess this before treatment and can advise on combined skin-tightening options if needed.
The fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, if you gain significant weight after treatment, remaining fat cells elsewhere in the body can expand. Maintaining a steady weight helps preserve your results long term.
Liposuction, when performed by qualified surgeons in a clinical setting, is considered one of the safest and most effective fat removal options. At SRGN Clinic, we prioritise safety, precision, and aftercare to minimise risk and support recovery.
Initial swelling is completely normal and can make the area look fuller in the first few weeks. This settles gradually. True results often appear between one to three months after surgery. If swelling persists beyond this, we’ll assess and advise as part of your follow-up care.
CoolSculpting is non-surgical and can reduce small fat areas over time, but results are typically modest. Liposuction delivers more noticeable, immediate, and permanent results — especially for larger or more stubborn fat pockets. We can guide you on the best option during your consultation.
