Fat Reduction Treatment Bristol

By Elena Prousskaia MD, FRCS (Plast), FEBOPRAS

If you have problems with areas of stubborn fat, you should contact the Elena Prousskaia Clinic for fat reduction treatment in Bristol.

It is common to have pockets of excess fat in a specific area of the body that are resistant to your best efforts with diet and exercise. This can affect your self-esteem and your enjoyment of life.

For example, many women suffer from excess body fat on the hips and thighs which makes them too self-conscious to wear the clothes they like. This ‘pear shape’ is genetically determined and can only be resolved with the removal of the fat cells through a liposuction procedure.

The Elena Prousskaia clinic offers safe and effective body sculpting using liposuction procedures at the ultra-modern Bristol Spire Hospital.

Is a liposuction procedure good for weight loss?

Excess body fat is removed during liposuction surgery, however, only from specific areas of the body. Elena does not advocate the procedure as a means of weight loss as high-volume fat removal can be dangerous for the patient.

Which areas of the body can be treated?

Elena frequently uses liposuction on the inner and outer thighs, stomach, hips, under the chin. and the knee area.

The procedure will make a significant difference to the shape of your body which will be smoother and more contoured.

Elena’s patients are always delighted with their lipo results and find that their self-confidence soars.

Treatment of the hip and thigh area has allowed patients to feel happy wearing jeans or tight trousers for the first time.

You can find some before and after pictures on our dedicated Liposuction page here.

How is excess fat removed?

Fat cells are removed using a strong vacuum pump through a narrow metal tube inserted into a small incision in the skin. There may be several incisions in the treated area depending on its size.

Can it be performed using a local anaesthetic?

Sometimes a local anaesthetic can be sufficient for a small area but the procedure is usually carried out under general anaesthetic and requires an overnight stay in hospital.

How long will it take to recover from surgical fat removal ?

You will be sore after a surgcial fat removal treatment like liposuction but this will be controlled with pain relief medication.

Patients will be given a special support garment to be worn day and night for a couple of months to ensure optimum results.

Recovery time may vary but most patients recover from the effects of liposuction surgery after one to two weeks. Full recovery and the final results of the procedure be apparent after six months to a year. The small incisions made during surgery will quickly fade.

Elena will check your progress during follow-up appointments for the first 12 months to check progress. It is important that you take her advice about when you can return to strenuous exercise to ensure healing.

Are there any risks to the removal of fat cells with suction?

All surgical procedures carry risks like bruising, bleeding and infection but by choosing a surgeon as experienced and talented as Elena Prousskaia, you are reducing the risk of serious problems.

Elena ensures that all her patients are fully informed about the procedure before committing themselves.

You will have an initial consultation with Elena where she will check your general health and suitability for liposuction.

Elena will discuss the benefits of the procedure for you and what it will involve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Elena's Approach To Liposuction?

It’s important to point out that liposuction is not an alternative to losing weight because only a limited amount of fat can be removed in one operation. Elena’s policy is not to perform massive volume liposuction, as it can be dangerous to your health. Used sparingly and sensitively, however, it can have great results on certain areas, such as the outer thighs where some women have a genetic predisposition to gaining fat.

What Liposuction Surgery Aftercare Is Offered?

Elena will talk you through all the necessary pre-surgery investigations, as well as the after-care required. She will also fully explain the risks associated with the operation. We will only go ahead with the procedure once you are completely ready and happy with the choice we have made together. The good news is that the scars after liposuction are usually almost invisible and your clothes will fit better. Following your treatment, however, you will be a bit sore for a few weeks and will require an elasticated support garment during this period. Before you leave the Clinic, our team will make sure you’re completely informed about how best to care for yourself during the recovery period. Aftercare is a huge priority for us and we’re always available for any questions during the weeks and months after your procedure.

What Does This Procedure Cost?

Please scroll down for more information on pricing.

Can I Have More Than One Session Of Liposuction If Needed?

Elena will discuss your desired outcome and the specific treatment in detail during your initial consultation. If necessary, It is possible to have more than one session. Normally these will be at least 6 months apart.

Is Liposuction Safe?

As with any major surgery, liposuction carries risks, such as bleeding and a reaction to anaesthesia. Your decision to have this operation should be based on your careful evaluation of all the possible risks and the potential benefits. Most patients undergoing this surgery do not experience complications. However, you should discuss all possible risks and your tolerance of complications with your consultant plastic surgeon, Miss Prousskaia, in order to make sure that you fully understand the implications and consequences of having fat transfer. Possible complications specific to liposuction include: Contour irregularities, your skin may appear bumpy, wavy or withered due to uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity and unusual healing. Elena will provide you with further information with the risks and provide you with a detailed consent form during your consultations. This will help you to minimise the risks.

Will Skin Irregularities Disappear?

Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s individual characteristics. In patients with skin irregularities and loose skin, skin excess may not adapt by itself after liposuction and may require additional skin tightening techniques. Skin irregularities may not always improve with liposuction.

WHAT DO ELENA'S PATIENTS SAY...

Elena was recommended to me and as soon as I met her I felt entirely comfortable. Her explanations made sense in terms of expectations. Having made the big decision I did feel nervous but had absolute trust and confidence in Elena. I knew I was in the best hands. Elena's team is so supportive, my questions were answered with patience and understanding. My care at the McIndoe Centre was excellent. I am five weeks post op for abdominoplasty and liposuction and last week. Quite amazing to see the before and after pictures! I am so pleased that I was fortunate enough to meet Elena and have no hesitation in recommending her.

SM – Abdominoplasty & Liposuction

I have been both physically and mentally uncomfortable in my body since I was 12. I was born with ‘breast mutation’ and I first had surgery to correct this through the NHS at 16 years old. The surgery I have had with Elena, 17 years later, has removed the NHS implants, one of which had ruptured, and completely altered the shape of my chest. By doing this she has made me look and feel like a woman for the first time in my life. She is at all times quietly kind and fiercely adept. A true artist. She has surrounded herself with the most wonderful team and I cannot thank them all enough for the new lease of life that I have been given.

EG – Removal & Replacement of Implants

I have been self conscious for the whole of my adult life and I cannot express how much this surgery  has changed things for me. Both mentally and physically. I highly recommend Elena. She supported me throughout my journey from start to finish. Elena is very particular which for me is really important. Elena really took care of me from initial consultation right through to surgery and aftercare.My scaring is minimal and I am absolutely over the moon with my results. Thank you Elena!

JB – Breast Reduction

Elena is an OUTSTANDING surgeon. I had PIP implants and was looking to have them changed. I knew Elena was the surgeon to help, she put me at ease and explained my options. The lovely ladies in her office were helpful, I wanted to get sorted asap, when an alternative date was available contacted me straight away. I received outstanding care from start to finish from Elena, her team and the hospital. The aftercare is amazing, nothing is too much trouble, can call any time. I was so relaxed, I knew I was in great hands. The final results are fantastic. Elena has worked magic and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so glad I found her. I can’t thank her and her team enough.

LMS – implant Removal & Replacement

Had surgery with Elena in September, I was extremely anxious about the whole thing, but Elena and her whole team, from admin to the hospital staff were amazing with me and reassured me throughout my journey. I can not recommend Elena enough, and she has changed my life for the better! Already saving for my next operation with her!
