Power-assisted liposuction PAL is a non-surgical procedure that targets pockets of stubborn fat on the body and under the chin that won’t budge despite a balanced diet and regular exercise routine.
In the skilled hands of our plastic surgeons, PAL Liposuction will transform your body, sculpting contours into a sleeker, more refined profile.

PAL Liposuction at Coppergate Clinic
We use the MicroAire PAL System, the most advanced technology to deliver outstanding results. MicroAire PAL utilises a vibrating cannula that oscillates at a high speed to break down fat cells with minimal force.
The cannula is inserted into the fatty tissue through discreet incisions in the skin. The procedure takes between 1 and 3 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia.
The advantages of Power Assisted Liposuction over traditional liposuction surgery
Liposuction surgery has been used for decades to remove fat deposits, but power-assisted liposuction utilises more advanced technology, providing several specific advantages for our Manchester patients.
A reduction in tissue trauma
The oscillating cannula used in PAL requires less force to break down fat cells, reducing the damage to surrounding tissues. Patients experience less bruising and pain after the procedure, as well as a quicker recovery time.
Enhanced body contouring
Power-assisted liposuction offers greater surgical accuracy and precision, yielding more sculpted and smoother outcomes with fewer contour irregularities compared to traditional liposuction.
More versatile
In addition to its high level of precision on small treatment areas, power-assisted liposuction also yields excellent results on larger areas, including the thighs, abdomen, and sides of the waist. Traditional liposuction is not as effective on large areas of excess fat.
Less time in surgery
PAL liposuction is so effective that it has been proven to reduce surgery time by 35% compared to traditional lipo methods.
Reduced surgeon fatigue
Traditional liposuction is physically demanding, which can lead to surgeon fatigue. The oscillating cannula used in PAL lipo does the hard labour, leaving your surgeon to focus on creating the best results for you.
Superior skin retraction
Patients treated with PAL Lipo experience superior retraction of loose skin, resulting in firmer and smoother outcomes.

Can power-assisted lipo be used on stubborn fat all over the body?
We use PAL to remove excess fat and contour the body in the following areas;
Chest, upper arms, thighs, tummy, knees, calves, ankles.
Power-assisted liposuction can also be used to reduce excess fat on a double chin and in the neck area.
Is power-assisted liposuction safe?
As a reputable aesthetic clinic, patient safety is our top priority, and our highly trained and experienced plastic surgeons utilise the most advanced and clinically proven technology. The MicroAire PAL system used in our clinic is FDA-approved and used safely worldwide.
Liposuction has been used for decades, and power-assisted liposuction is designed to improve the process, providing a gentler and less traumatic approach than previous methods. Its precision minimises the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, blood vessels and other structures, reducing blood loss and bruising.
However, every surgical procedure carries potential risks, which will be explained to you at your initial consultation.
How long does it take to recover after PAL liposuction surgery?
We advise our Manchester patients to book a week off work to give their bodies time to heal. Light exercise can be resumed a few days after your procedure, but you should avoid strenuous exercise until your surgeon advises you it is time to start again.
Initially, the treatment area will be bruised and swollen, but this will subside within two weeks. Patients are provided with compression garments to support the affected tissues during the healing process.
Coppergate Clinic offers high levels of post-operative care, and your progress will be closely monitored during follow-up appointments.
When will I start to see the benefits of my Liposuction procedure?
Your new sculpted shape will be revealed once the swelling has subsided, typically around six weeks after your liposuction procedure.
Is my new body shape permanent?
The benefits of power-assisted liposuction can last for many years if you maintain a stable weight with a healthy, balanced diet and a regular exercise routine. Your remaining fat cells will still have the potential to expand if you do not follow this healthy lifestyle.
Significant weight fluctuations will adversely affect the results of your procedure.
Am I a good candidate for PAL liposuction?
The best candidates for PAL are those who are in good general health with a normal body weight that has remained stable for some time. We always take a complete medical history to ensure that you are fit for surgery.
It is also advantageous to have good skin elasticity to avoid the appearance of excess skin after the fatty deposits have been removed.

Is power-assisted liposuction a weight loss procedure?
Although PAL removes fat cells, it is a body contouring procedure that removes pockets of stubborn fat rather than a weight loss procedure.
The best results are achieved in patients who are already at a stable weight, which is at or near their healthy ideal.
PAL cannot be used to remove a substantial amount of body fat, so it may not be for you if you are aiming for significant weight loss.
Your surgeon will discuss your body goals with you at your initial consultation and will advise you on whether PAL is the appropriate procedure.
If PAL is not for you, we can offer advice on a weight loss solution to help you achieve your ideal weight.
Can power-assisted lipo be combined with any other cosmetic surgery procedures?
We often use power-assisted liposuction to enhance the results of plastic surgery procedures like a tummy tuck.
How much does power-assisted liposuction cost Manchester patients?
Power-assisted liposuction costs £4,995 at our clinic in York.
