Patients considering liposuction or body contouring procedures often want a clear understanding of what the process involves.
At LipoRefine, the treatment journey is designed to provide transparency, careful assessment, and personalised treatment planning from the first consultation through to recovery and follow-up care.
Procedures are performed by Dr. Shamik Basu, a GMC registered doctor, in CQC registered clinical facilities, ensuring treatments take place within regulated healthcare environments.
Initial Consultation
Step 1 – Consultation and Assessment
The first step in the process is a private consultation with
Dr. Basu.
During this consultation, the following areas are discussed:

Patient concerns and treatment goals

Medical history

Body structure and fat distribution

Suitability for liposuction procedures
This consultation allows Dr. Basu to determine whether liposuction or body contouring may be appropriate and which treatment approach may be suitable.
Treatment Planning
Step 2 – Personalised Treatment Plan
Following clinical assessment, a treatment plan is developed based on the patient’s anatomy and goals.
This stage may include discussion of:
- Areas to be treated
- Liposuction technique to be used
- Expected treatment outcomes
- Post-procedure care and recovery guidance
Patients are encouraged to ask questions and ensure they have a clear understanding of the procedure before proceeding.
Procedure Day
Step 3 – The Procedure
Procedures at LipoRefine are carried out in CQC registered clinical facilities.
Liposuction procedures generally follow three stages:

Tumescent infiltration to numb the treatment area

VASER fat emulsification using ultrasound energy

Power assisted liposuction to remove fat and contour the treated area
The procedure is performed with careful attention to patient comfort and safety.
Recovery and Follow-Up
Step 4 – Recovery and Aftercare

Following the procedure, patients receive guidance regarding recovery and post-procedure care.

Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure the recovery process is progressing appropriately.

Body contour changes often develop gradually as swelling settles, with improvements becoming more noticeable over the following months.
