At a glance
The package
What you are paying for
Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat through small incisions. It is for contouring, not weight loss, and works best when you are close to your ideal weight with good skin elasticity.
Most liposuction takes one to two hours, often as a day case, under general or local anaesthetic. The guide price covers your treatment and aftercare as one package.
Your package price usually includes
- Your surgeon’s fee: Mr Kumar performs your surgery personally
- The consultant anaesthetist’s fee, where an anaesthetic is needed
- Hospital and theatre fees, at a CQC-registered hospital
- A set number of follow-up appointments
- Aftercare and support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Everything in writing, with no pressure to proceed

What affects the price
Every treatment is planned around you, so the guide price is a starting point. These are the main things that shape your final quote.
Which areas are treated
Common areas include the tummy and waist, flanks and back, thighs, upper arms, under the chin and the male chest. Your quote reflects the areas in the plan agreed with Mr Kumar.
How much fat is removed
For safety, there is a limit to how much fat can be removed in one session. Mr Kumar will advise what is sensible for you.
Adding skin tightening or other surgery
Liposuction can be combined with energy-based skin tightening, a tummy tuck, or fat transfer, where the fat removed adds volume elsewhere.
Your choice of hospital
Hospital fees differ, so the price depends on which partner hospital you choose.
Paying for treatment
Insurance and finance
Liposuction for shape is cosmetic, so health insurers do not usually cover it.
KIMS Hospital and The McIndoe Centre offer finance packages to help spread the cost. Details are on their own websites. These are third-party finance companies, not affiliated with Mr Kumar.
Other things to plan for
- Time off work: most people return to desk work after about a week
- A compression garment, worn for around six weeks
- No exercise for about four weeks
- Someone to take you home on the day
Comparing quotes
Why prices vary
Prices vary because surgeons include different things. When you compare quotes, check whether each one includes the surgeon’s and anaesthetist’s fees, hospital and theatre fees, any overnight stay and your follow-up appointments.
Liposuction removes fat, but it does not tighten loose skin. If your skin is already loose, a tummy tuck or lift may be the right operation, even though it costs more.
Surgery abroad can look cheaper, but you are far from your surgeon if you need help while you recover. With Mr Kumar you are cared for in CQC-registered facilities close to home, with support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
FAQs
Cost questions, answered
How much does liposuction cost?
Liposuction with Mr Siva Kumar starts from £2,995. Your final fee depends on the areas treated and the hospital you choose, and is confirmed in writing after your consultation.
Does the price depend on the number of areas?
Yes. Your quote reflects the areas in your treatment plan, which Mr Kumar agrees with you at your consultation.
Is liposuction cheaper than a tummy tuck?
Liposuction starts from £2,995 and a mini tummy tuck from £4,500, but they do different jobs. Liposuction removes fat; a tummy tuck removes loose skin and can repair the muscles.
Is liposuction permanent?
Fat cells removed do not come back, but the remaining fat can still grow if you gain weight.
How much is a consultation?
For self-pay patients, a first consultation is £250 and a follow-up consultation is £150. If you go ahead, your package includes a set number of follow-up consultations to see you through recovery.
Can I pay in instalments?
KIMS Hospital and The McIndoe Centre offer finance packages to help spread the cost. Details are on their own websites. These are third-party finance companies, not affiliated with Mr Kumar.
