Of the many myths perpetuated, both are often said to aid rapid weight loss, despite this being wrong. The treatments are carried out to remove tough pockets of fat that no amount of exercise or diet can shift, in the case of liposuction, and to firm and tighten the abdomen.  Given the two are often confused, here is a handy post to help show you... - [Do you have lipoedema?](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/how-to-spot-lipoedema/): For some women, no amount of exercise and diet can help them lose weight, and it is a mystery why some fat still accumulates on their arms and legs. While often mistaken for obesity or even lymphedema, the irregular distribution of fat beneath your skin, usually in the buttocks and legs is called lipedema, and what often begins as a cosmetic concern can morph into cause pain and other major health problems. Although rarely spoken about, the disorder lipedema actually affects more than 370 million people around the world, most of them being women, although it can strike anyone, and... - [Best Treatment for Liposuction](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/best-treatment-for-liposuction/): or Liposuction When it comes to reshaping your body and achieving a more defined silhouette, finding the best treatment for liposuction is key. Liposuction has evolved dramatically over the years — from traditional fat removal to highly advanced body contouring techniques that sculpt and refine your natural figure. At my clinic, I focus on precision, safety, and personalised results, ensuring every patient receives a treatment that enhances their confidence and body proportions. Understanding Liposuction Liposuction is not a weight-loss method; rather, it’s a targeted fat-removal procedure designed to contour specific areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, arms, and chin.... - [Liposuction Of The Buttocks](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/liposuction-of-the-buttocks/): Liposuction Of The Buttocks Liposuction can significantly improve both size and shape of your buttocks. Clients almost always proclaim the results excellent, as the appearance is both smoother and more symmetric. Which technique gives the best results? For best results we use a process that involves microcannulae, with a diameter of less than 3mm, and the tumescent liposuction techniques. There are older techniques, which involve liposuction of the buttocks using large cannulae, but these cause lumpiness and an irregular shape – not something we aim to achieve. Larger cannulae are considered outdated, and often used by surgeons more concerned with speed than precision and finesse.... - [Moobs: how to lose them](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/moobs-how-to-lose-them/): Moobs: how to lose them While the phrase “man boobs” or “moobs” may be funny to some or used in a jokey manner, it is no laughing matter to the millions of British men who suffer this embarrassing problem. Known medically as gynecomastia, man boobs affect about one in every five males, and can affect anyone from newborns, adolescents, and elderly men. A much higher percentage of men report suffering the condition between the ages of 50 to 69. Whatever the age of the male, it is extremely common, often taboo for men to talk about medically, and can have a... - [Why winter is the best season to have lipo done](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/winter-best-season-liposuction/): Why Winter is the Best Season to Have Lipo Done  Readers of this blog will be familiar with the phrase “summer bodies are made in winter”. As the nights draw in, it’s worth exploring why these are the premium months to get that beach body with as little disruption to your schedule as possible. Home for the holidays Whether it’s work or study, many of us get extra time off during December and January. This makes it easier to schedule some extended downtime without using up large chunks of your holiday allowance. It can also allow some privacy, enabling you... - [Lipoedema Treatment Through Liposuction](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/lipoedema-treatment-through-liposuction/): Lipoedema Treatment Through Liposuction Lipoedema is a long-term (chronic) condition typically involving an abnormal build-up of fat cells in the legs, thighs and buttocks. The condition occurs almost exclusively in women, although there have been rare cases reported in men. Any woman can have lipoedema, regardless of age, size or weight. It usually begins around puberty and continues to progress, worsening during pregnancy, hormonal changes and menopause. Although lipoedema was identified in the 1940’s, it remains a poorly understood condition and sufferers are often relegated to being fat. The truth is that the fatty deposits are practically impossible to shift even through rigorous exercise... - [The Best Season for Cosmetic Procedures](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/best-season-for-surgery/): The Best Season for Cosmetic Procedures As the days lighten and spring approaches, many people begin their annual battle for that perfect summer beach body. But as any trainer or doctor will tell you, the best summer bodies are made in winter. Cosmetic procedures are no different, and due to the time needed to recuperate afterward because of pain and swelling it is worth thinking about how you should plan your procedure. Not only does planning ahead allow you to arrange surgery around the big events in your life, you can use as environmental factors and the seasons to your... - [Lose your cankles](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/lose-your-cankles/): Lose your cankles The dreaded nickname “cankles” is often given to describe legs so fat and unshapely it’s impossible to tell where the calf ends and the ankle begins. While exercise and a controlled diet are enough in many cases for a person to lose the fat and get a more shapely leg, in some cases, the medical condition lipedema renders any attempt to rid the body of such fat impossible. Lipedema sometimes spelled ‘lipoedema’, is a genuine medical condition, often confused with lymphoedema, and affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. While the individual with this condition, usually... - [Banish those bingo wings for good](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/banish-bingo-wings-for-good/): Banish those bingo wings for good It’s a pretty unflattering term to describe the loose skin and fatty tissue that hangs under arms, but ‘bingo wings’ is a buzzword that has sadly become part of the lexicon for describing those fatty deposits that sag around the triceps. It can be particularly noticeable when the arms are raised and then shaken, as in when calling out in bingo, hence the name. A recent survey revealed an astonishing three in four British women are more unhappy with their upper arms than any other part of their anatomy. Some of those who responded... - [Lipoedema vs Mental Health](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/lipoedema-vs-mental-health/): Lipoedema vs Mental Health Hello everyone, I’m Dr Puneet Gupta, and I specialise in lipoedema and have been working as a lipoedema specialist on Harley Street.

More... - [Exercise After Liposuction](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/exercise-after-liposuction/): Exercise After Liposuction A structured exercise and diet regime is imperative to make the most out of your liposuction treatment and ensure that the unwanted fatty deposits do not return. It is important to remember that liposuction is not a permanent weight loss procedure, but a way to contour or shape different parts of the body. Fat lying underneath the skin is removed by suction, and if care is not taken the fat will return. Immediately after liposuction, you can expect a certain amount of swelling and water retention, but this subsides on average in two-to-three weeks. Doctors recommend that you do... - [Difference between lymphodema and lipoedema](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/differences-lymphodema-lipoedema/): What are lymphoedema and lipoedema? Lymphoedema and lipoedema (sometimes spelled lymphedema/lipedema) are debilitating physical conditions that involve severe swelling of limbs, usually the legs. The afflictions are often misunderstood, and with no cure, cause untold misery for the individual suffering.We have prepared this post to explain in simple terms the difference between both conditions, telltale signs, and what to do if you think you are suffering. What is lymphoedema? Lymphedema refers to swelling that generally occurs in one of your arms or legs but can afflict both arms and legs too. It is most commonly caused by the removal of... - [Liposuction for lipoedema](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/liposuction-for-lipoedema/): Liposuction for lipoedema Liposuction is the best way to treat lipedema. There are other methods to temporarily ease the misery of having excess fat tissue in the legs and thigh, but nothing removes the amount of cells or gives the same level of relief as liposuction for lipedema. Lipedema explained Lipedema is a real medical condition that is often confused with lymphedema and obesity due to being categorised as a problem of having too much fat below the waist. It is a very different problem however, and in no way the fault of the individual; dieting and exercising won’t get rid of... - [Double Chin Liposuction](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/double-chin-liposuction/): Double Chin Liposuction How many of us have suffered the indignity of an extra chin appearing from nowhere in a dodgy selfie or wedding photograph, making us curse whoever said: “the camera never lies”? Double chins are often associated with a person becoming overweight or having a bad diet, but the truth is age and genetics are just as much a factor in sagging skin. What causes a double chin?The affliction is called submental fullness by medical professionals and is caused by excess volume under the chin and neck area. It collects around the neck and sags downward to create... ## Pages - [Male Chest Reduction](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/male-chest-reduction/): Male Chest Reduction Book Appointment Microcannula liposuction is the best option for getting rid of fatty tissue from the male chest/man moobs.

Dilution and VasoconstrictionThe tumescent liposuction approach typically uses large volumes of a diluted solution also containing lidocaine and epinephrine. The method is considered extremely safe due to the extreme dilution of these two anaesthesia solutions, and a constriction of capillaries in the area of fat which delays their absorption. In contrast, undiluted lidocaine and epinephrine can be absorbed into the bloodstream in less than an hour. The increase in absorption time, spread over 24-36 hours, reduces peak concentration of lidocaine in the blood, which then reduces the toxicity of... - [Vaser Liposuction](https://drpuneetgupta.co.uk/vaser-liposuction/): Vaser Liposuction Specialist – Dr. Puneet Gupta If you’re looking to reshape your body and remove stubborn pockets of fat with minimal downtime, VASER liposuction is a revolutionary technique worth considering.

The hands and feet are usually spared, giving the body a characteristic disproportionate shape with a small waist and bigger legs.There are still aspects of lipoedema that are poorly understood.
