Body contouring
Liposuction in London
Liposuction contours selected fatty deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise. It is not a substitute for weight loss or for removing excess skin, and is often used alongside other procedures.

About liposuction
Is it for me?
Liposuction suits patients at a stable weight with good skin elasticity and localised areas of fat, who have realistic expectations. Where skin is loose, a skin-removing procedure may be more appropriate.
Its role in the wider practice
Liposuction is frequently adjunctive — combined with body contouring to refine a result, or used to harvest fat for breast fat transfer. Miss Hunter explains how it fits your overall plan.
Recovery and risks
You will be advised on a compression garment and a graded return to activity; swelling and bruising are expected and the final shape settles over time. Risks can include contour irregularity, asymmetry, altered sensation and scarring at the access points. These are discussed during consultation.
Miss Hunter has an extensive library of before-and-after photographs of her own patients. These are reviewed during consultation rather than shown publicly, so that patient confidentiality is protected and relevant examples can be chosen for your individual discussion.
Common questions about liposuction
How do I know if I am suitable?
Suitability is assessed by Miss Hunter at consultation, taking account of your aims, medical background, anatomy and what is realistically possible. Sophie can tell you whether an enquiry is the kind of work Miss Hunter takes on before you book.
Will I see before-and-after photographs?
Yes — during consultation. Relevant examples from Miss Hunter’s own patient library are reviewed with you privately. They are not published online, for confidentiality.
What does recovery involve?
Recovery varies between patients and procedures. General guidance is given here and in your patient information sheet, and individual advice on work, driving, the gym, lifting and travel is given by Miss Hunter around your consultation and surgery.
Who do I contact afterwards?
Sophie coordinates queries before and after surgery and escalates to Miss Hunter directly where clinical input is needed.
