Many of us have stubborn pockets of fat on our hips, thighs, arms and even around our abdomen, that simply won’t shift through diet or exercise.
MicroLipo is a minimally invasive liposuction, fat removal and body sculpting procedure aimed to enhance your body’s contour, definition and physique.
MicroLipo gets its name from the tiny size of the cannulas used to extract the fat, the smallest of which is just 0.9mm wide and the largest of which is 3mm. The technique can remove up to 3.5 litres of fat.
What areas can MicroLipo treat to remove fat?
- Arms
- Inner thighs
- Knees
- Flanks
- Abdomen
- Male Chest (Man boobs or Moobs)
- Chin
We treat lipoedema
We are also one of very few clinics able to offer treatment for female Lipoedema patients. Micro lipo can be used to help manage the condition and ease the strain on day-to-day activities. Micro lipo gently removes excess fat cells from the area being treated. Patients are then put on a bespoke management programme that involves regular lymphatic massage and specially designed and professionally fitted compression garments.

The Procedure -
Aftercare
MicroLipo Treatment
MicroLipo is a procedure which achieves excellent cosmetic results but with a rapid post-operative return to normal activities.
A very diluted local anaesthesia is injected into the fat causing the targeted areas to become swollen and firm. This swelling helps separate the fat cells from the other surrounding tissue. The fat is then removed using microcannulas with a diameter less than 3 millimetres.
Traditional liposuction cannulas have a larger diameter and are often used for larger areas such as the thighs, stomach and hips.
After MicroLipo Treatment
You will notice a change to your shape and outline immediately after the procedure. However, real results will begin to appear within 3-4 weeks post procedure.
A healthy lifestyle paired with good nutrition and exercise will maintain your results. If you gain any weight, it will affect the surrounding areas.
MicroLipo involves minimal downtime and you can get back to your daily routine almost immediately. Many patients return to work within 48 hours and resume their typical exercise schedule within 7 days. The small incisions made during the procedure will not require stitches.

FAQs
You can have MicroLipo to almost anywhere where you have significant fat deposits. Common areas include the abdomen, love handles, thighs, male chest and arms but people have it elsewhere too.
Every patient is different will recover differently. We tell patients to allow 48 hours before returning to their everyday activities. Many patients after this time find themselves being able to return to work but this will depend on your job role. Patients are advised to refrain from exercise for at least 7 days.
MicroLipo results will last as long as your weight is maintained.
The cost of Microlipo procedures are determined by various factors, such as the number of areas you are having treated and the amount of time your procedure will take. Certain areas of the body require more time and precision than others, which will impact the amount of time it takes for the surgeons to carry out your procedure.
Microlipo starts from around £3,500 but will increase depending on the number of areas treated. See before and after photos here.
