liposuction

Videos of a beautician performing surgical procedure liposuction in a beauty salon have been shared with the BBC after several women complained they were left injured and disfigured by the treatment.

She recommends it as a safer alternative to liposuction for some patients.

The clinics operated by extracting a patient’s fat by liposuction, processing the fat to extract stem cells and injecting the stem cells back into the patients.

This most often happens under general anaesthetic in an operating theatre, and can involve extensive liposuction, with large volumes of fat being transferred.

Jane, 33, from Essex, who did not want to use her real name, says she is “so stressed” having paid £10,870 earlier this month for abdominal cosmetic surgery and liposuction.
