Liposuction

Price should not be a deciding factor with an elective surgery like liposuction. Trust, experience and aftercare are absolutely key, and River Medical is widely recognised as the industry leader in Ireland. We are also proud to say that we adhere to the strictest of ethical guidelines and believe that only highly trained medical staff should advise on cosmetic procedures, be it surgical or non-surgical.

You will meet with one of our Consultant Plastic Surgeons who will discuss everything with you including your expectations and desires, the procedure and the best type of procedure for you, the results as well as any possible eventualities.

You will need to take 5 to 10 days off after your surgery. If your job is physical you may require more time. Everyone recovers differently and the River Medical team will monitor you closely. You will have an element of discomfort after your surgery which typically lasts 1- 10 days but this will be managed with the support of your Consultant Plastic Surgeon and River Medical Registered General Nurse. We encourage patients to get back to their normal life as soon as it feels comfortable for them. We feel that this really promotes and aids a speedy and successful recovery. Everyone recovers differently but you can rest assured that we will monitor you closely to ensure the swiftest, safest and most comfortable recovery.

Your Consultant will assess your suitability and recommend the best treatment for you at your initial consultation. It is important to note that liposuction isn’t a weight loss solution. It targets stubborn areas or bulges of fat that cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise alone. The treatment could also be referred to as a form of body sculpting.

Preparation will begin with an initial consultation with your Consultant Plastic Surgeon, followed by a meeting with one of our Registered General Nurses. Each one will go through every aspect of the surgery in great detail. Prior to surgery you will return for a further comprehensive pre-operative assessment with your River Medical Nurse. Your Consultant will be available to you right up until your surgery should you wish to see him/her again.

Your surgery will be carried at our sister company clinic, the Fitzwilliam Private Clinic in Belfast, where thousands of procedures have been carried out for more than a decade

At River Medical, you will receive excellent aftercare post surgery. You will receive excellent aftercare post surgery Aobhin Cronin Clinic Manager, RGN.

Only a tiny incision of between 1-2 cm in length is required. Your Surgeon will also take into account the position of the incision site, ensuring it’s minimally visible. In addition, our Plastic Surgeons use very fine specialist stitching which minimizes scarring. He/she will discuss the incision site/s and exactly what you can expect post procedure at your initial consultation. He/she will also show you actual photographs of similar incision sites that he/she has carried out on other patients.

We are widely regarded as being the industry leader in cosmetic surgery. At River Medical, we never compromise on the level of care and attention we give each and every one of our patients, every time, and we are committed to you from procedure right through to your 24/7, lifelong aftercare.

Before and after pictures on websites can be misleading as they may not be patients of the surgeon who will be carrying out your surgery. As every person has completely different expectations and different treatment requirements, it is a much more valuable tool for your Consultant Plastic Surgeon to show you pictures of surgeries that he/she has carried out and discuss similar cases to your own, as well as the results that he/she can achieve for you and your body.

At River Medical, we will always endeavour to provide patients with the best possible solution. With this in mind if there is a non-surgical alternative, this will be discussed with you by your Consultant Plastic Surgeon. There is a non-invasive fat removal treatment called Coolsculpt which can be discussed should you be deemed a suitable candidate.
