Does anyone do plus size lipo on the abdomen in the UK or Europe?

Dear Hannahpockett,
Many thanks for your question. There are of course plenty of Plastic Surgeons both in the U.K. and on the continent that perform liposuction of the abdomen and back areas.
I would recommend you book in to see at least one Board certified Plastic surgeon in the area of the country you wish to undergo the surgery in order for them to examine you, learn your goals/expectations and see if what they can do for you will match them.
I wish you luck.
Best wishes,
Marcus

Dear Hannahpockett,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Yes, there are likely MANY surgeons who will be willing to perform your liposuction in the UK or Europe. I have found that many patients can get GOOD results with liposuction alone, and EXCELLENT results with IDEAL Liposuction! IDEAL Lipo is a proprietary technique that we have been developing for the past 12 years. First off, all devices and instruments used are FDA-approved, unlike many fat harvest and transfer devices beying used today. These procedures are typically performed in the office, with only local anesthesia (although patients can request deeper sedation, if they so desire). We typically use Smart / Laser Liposuction or VASER (ultrasound) to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening (like Body Tite, or Thermi) to maximize skin contraction; and Ultrasound, RF, or subcision (Z Wave, Venus, Cellfina) to treat cellulite. Patients go home the day of surgery; typically do not use any narcotics postop for pain control, and are back to light exercise and work 48 hours after their procedures. In my practice, we specifically evaluate patients for these additional treatments, and select the appropriate treatment based on their skin quality, amount of fat, previous treatment(s), and surgical goals. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
