The Process

Consultation

Before making any decisions, in-depth consultations with the surgeon will help you assess the best route to take. After an examination of the area you wish to focus on for the liposuction procedure, there will be a comprehensive discussion of what you want to achieve with the surgeon. The surgeon will explain how the surgery is performed and the options for achieving your desired look.

The surgeon may go through before and after photos from other clients to show you what is possible in your case.

During the 30-minute appointment, the surgeon will assess your particular needs assessing what is available and possible. The recovery process, aftercare and any risks involved will be explained in-depth, making sure you leave feeling informed and confident in the procedure. Our surgeons leave no stone unturned when it comes to the preoperative information relayed to the patient.

The surgeon is available to answer as many questions as you need to ask to feel make you feel comfortable and certain. There is no obligation to move forward with the surgery if you do not feel confident after the consultation, we are here to guide and help you through finding out what procedure, if any, is right for you.

Operation

As patients commonly know, they will be required not eat from the morning of the procedure date.
Last meal at midnight the night before.
After arrival, they will be given a gown in which they must change into.
Patients will be required to have a preoperative shower in the clinic with Hibidil antiseptic shampoo and body wash.
They will be met by both the surgeon and the anaesthetist before the surgery to ease any worries.
The surgeon will mark the areas to be worked upon.The anaesthetist will then administer the anaesthesia, and the surgery will begin. Liposuction surgeries usually take between 1-4 hours depending on the areas being treated and the amount of excess fat being removed.

After the procedure the patient will be wheeled into a recovery room and a nurse will attend to her until she is ready to be released. Assistance and help are given as well as effective pain-relieving medication.

There is a recovery retreat option available on request. This is not part of Alchimia Clinic but is in the same building.

Aftercare

We pride ourselves on the aftercare we provide for our patients, making sure they feel supported throughout the whole recovery process.
After one week post-op, there will be a scheduled follow up appointment.

A helpline will be available for any concerns.

Lifetime Care

A key feature of YL is the focus on lifetime care.
Continuous follow up appointments and regular checks are included in our scheduled care programme, and the surgeon will be available whenever needed in the future for examinations or other aspects of concern.
