When a scalpel is the honest answer: liposuction and body contouring, lifts for loose skin and scar revision, planned by a dermatologist who will tell you if a non-surgical route would do.

Is a surgical option right for me?

  • For large fat volumes, significant loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, or a scar that non-surgical treatment cannot flatten.
  • A full consultation first, where non-surgical alternatives are considered before any procedure is planned.
  • Recovery of one to three weeks depending on the procedure, with follow-up at the clinic.
Overview

Transform your body, with honest advice first.

Most of what the clinic does is non-surgical. But some goals need a scalpel: a large volume of fat, significant loose skin after major weight loss, or a scar that no laser will flatten. For those, the clinic offers procedural dermatology, performed by Dr. Fehmida Arif with the same diagnosis-first approach as everything else.

Liposuction and body contouring remove fat deposits from the abdomen, thighs and arms for a smoother, more defined shape. Lower body lifts tighten loose skin and improve tone. Scar revision minimises the appearance of existing scars. Each is planned only after the non-surgical options have been considered honestly, and each comes with a clear recovery plan.

Questions patients ask

Surgical procedures, answered.

Straight answers from the clinic. If your question is not here, ask on WhatsApp.

Dr. Fehmida Arif, a consultant dermatologist with over thirty-five years of experience, in a safe and comfortable environment.

Yes. The clinic's approach is diagnosis first. If a non-surgical treatment would achieve your goal, that is what will be recommended.

One to three weeks depending on the procedure. A written aftercare plan and follow-up visits are part of the treatment.

Every procedure carries risks such as bleeding, infection and scarring. They are discussed openly at the consultation and minimised with careful planning.

Often, yes. Skin tightening or Emsculpt Neo after liposuction, for example, can refine the result.

It depends entirely on the procedure. A quote is given after the consultation. Ask on WhatsApp to arrange one.
