3D Simulation by Vectra

Vectra offers a 3D camera system that allows you to visualise your results before undergoing your liposuction procedure.

The Vectra system at Elanic is one of the first in the UK and enables us to maintain our commitment to bringing Glasgow the best technology from around the world. Elanic has earned a reputation by being one of Glasgow's busiest clinics, and through its commitment to a high level of care, driven by empathy and understanding.

Liposuction Options at Elanic

Located in the heart of Glasgow, Elanic is one of Scotland’s largest providers of liposuction and, unlike the majority of clinics and hospitals, proudly offers three different types of liposuction. During your consultation, we’ll get to know your specific goals and aesthetic concerns and will guide you to one of our three liposuction choices:

  • Traditional Liposuction - The original surgical technique that uses a cannula (hollow tube) connected to a vacuum to remove fat deposits from beneath the skin. The surgeon manually manipulates the cannula to break up and suction out fat cells.
  • SmartLipo - A laser-assisted liposuction technique that uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells before removal, making the extraction process less traumatic. This approach can also stimulate collagen production, potentially improving skin tightening.
  • Triplex Laser Liposuction - An advanced form of laser liposuction that utilizes three different wavelengths of laser energy. The "Triplex" system combines these wavelengths to more effectively target fat while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, potentially offering improved results with less downtime.

A Speedy Procedure

Liposuction can be carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation given by one of our experienced consultant anaesthetists and can take as little as a couple of hours. This means you can have your procedure performed in one of our clinics and be home recovering on the very same day.

Comprehensive Enhancement

Liposuction can also be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance your new look.

In many cases, liposuction may be the only way to rid yourself of troublesome parts of your body. We recommend that you be at or near your target weight before considering this treatment. The ideal liposuction candidate can combine this procedure with a number of other procedures for comprehensive, whole-body enhancement.

Recovery from Liposuction

After your operation, you will be given adequate pain relief to keep you comfortable, and you will have access to medical advice 24/7. You’ll need to wear a compression garment on the treatment area for up to six weeks to aid recovery and encourage your ideal results. As with all surgical procedures, you’ll experience post-surgical swelling and bruising.

As your body heals over the coming weeks, you’ll see your results taking shape. This can take up to six months, as your healing continues and your shape improves. It is essential to be aware of the fact that it is important to maintain a stable body weight in order to continue enjoying your liposuction results in the long term.

Significant weight gain can work against the effects of this procedure. We recommend that you take one week away from work, depending on your industry and ability to work from home. After one week, you can resume your normal activities, but you must wait six weeks before resuming any kind of exercise.
