FAQ
VASER LIPOSUCTION
Vaser Liposuction is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment that effectively targets and erases stubborn fat deposits from your body. It uses sound energy to break down fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues unhurt. This redefined approach of liposuction paves the way for precision contouring, offering you the body shape you’ve always aspired to have.
In the battle against fat, sometimes healthy eating and committed exercise regimens may not give you the results you’re yearning for. Genetics, age, or life changes may make shedding weight strenuous from certain body regions. That’s where Vaser Liposuction steps in, gifting you with the power to refine and reshape your body.
At Dr. Anuj Purbey Clinic, we highly recommend a personal consultation for a comprehensive understanding of your aesthetic needs and goals.
One of the prime benefits of Vaser Liposuction is its faster, easier recovery phase compared to traditional liposuction. Patients typically resume normal activities within a few days. We equip you with comprehensive aftercare instructions – a clear roadmap for recovery. Of course, our team is always on standby to support you at each step.

Vaser Liposuction is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to break down and remove fat cells from the body. It’s minimally invasive, which makes it an excellent option for those who cannot undergo traditional liposuction or those who want to avoid general anaesthesia. Since the procedure uses ultrasound energy instead of surgical cannulas, there’s no need for incisions or stitches. In short, Vaser Liposuction has the following advantages:
- Minimal downtime
- Highly effective for stubborn fat areas, such as love handles and saddlebags
- Safe for patients with diabetes or heart disease
- The only MHRA and FDA (US) approved procedure that can be performed without general anaesthesia
- Easier on the body than traditional liposuction due to its non-invasive nature
Gynecomastia
The initial improvements in your chest’s shape will be visible as soon as the surgery is complete. However, it takes around three months for the full results to emerge—since this is how long it takes for your body to adjust and fully adapt to these changes.
The procedure is performed while you are under general anaesthesia, so it will be pain-free. Any discomfort during the recovery period can be managed with prescribed medication, exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Our doctors’ expertise, coupled with the state-of-the art facilities and technology, minimizes potential complications from the surgery. Potential risks include infection, unfavourable scarring or blood clots—but these are rare and manageable in most cases when our in-house surgeon Dr. Anuj Purbey performs the operation.
Many people can go back to work within 1-2 weeks after surgery, but it depends on what kind of job you have. For physical activity, patients should wait 2-3 weeks before starting any exercises; more strenuous workouts must be avoided for at least 6 weeks postoperative period.
Gynecomastia surgery offers numerous benefits, including an improved self-image and increased confidence. It also allows patients to return to their normal lifestyle activities—for example swimming or working out at the gym.
The procedure can also be used to correct asymmetrical male breasts and improve nipple location.
Gynecomastia surgery is safe and has been performed for over 50 years. The most common side effects include swelling, bruising or soreness at the incision site; however these symptoms usually go away within a few weeks of recovery.
Other possible complications include infection and nerve injury, but they are rare and with additional treatment can be easily taken care of.
Gynecomastia is typically caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body. This can happen naturally during different phases of life, including infancy (when baby is transitioning to a boy), puberty and older age (over 50).
Other causes of gynecomastia can include medications, health conditions (like liver disease and thyroid problems), substance use—such as alcohol and marijuana.
Gynecomastia is usually not serious, but it can be painful and may indicate a more severe underlying condition such as liver disease or cancer if not treated in time. If you think that you are experiencing symptoms of gynecomastia, it’s best to consult with an experienced doctor for further advice.
Gynecomastia can usually be diagnosed through a physical examination and review of medical history. In some cases, doctors might recommend further testing like blood tests or mammograms to rule out other conditions—but this is rare.
Yes, gynecomastia often goes away on its own if it’s the result of something like puberty or aging that can easily be reversed. If a man has chest fat because he’s obese and not taking steps to address his weight issue, has other health conditions or substance abuse then surgery may be needed in order to achieve better results.
Although regular exercise and a healthy diet have been shown to help reduce overall body fat and build muscle, they can’t specifically target the excess breast tissue caused by gynecomastia.
If you are having problems with gynecomastia that cause physical discomfort or psychological distress, consult a medical practitioner at the earliest.
The typical recovery time from surgery is 1–2 weeks, and strenuous activities should be avoided for around 6 weeks. However, the length of recovery period varies depending on various factors such as individual health and specifics of the procedure.
If the cause of gynecomastia has been corrected with surgery and if hormone levels are restored to normal, then it is unlikely that those who have had their glands removed will experience further problems.
Lipoedema
The primary signs of Lipoedema include bilaterally symmetrical swelling, disproportionate fat distribution (particularly in the hips and legs), easy bruising, and tenderness. Individuals may also experience sensations of heaviness and fatigue.
Currently, there is no definitive cure for Lipoedema. However, various treatments and management strategies can alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life.
The treatment process usually begins with a clinical examination and diagnosis, potentially with the aid of ultrasound imaging. Treatment options may include compression therapy, lymphatic drainage massage, exercise recommendations, liposuction, or surgical interventions. Aftercare and continuous monitoring also form integral aspects of the treatment process.
Recovery times can vary based on the treatment. Following procedures such as liposuction, patients may need to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks to control swelling and aid recovery.
Post-treatment, controlling Lipoedema involves regular monitoring, ongoing lymphatic draining, adhering to a healthy lifestyle, maintaining a weight management regimen, and potentially wearing compression garments.
While Lipoedema fat doesn’t typically respond to diet and exercise, maintaining overall health and weight can be beneficial. Additionally, some types of exercise, especially those that promote lymph flow such as swimming, yoga, and walking, can help to reduce associated discomfort
Yes, although less common, Lipoedema can affect the arms and, in some cases, can cause swelling around the ankles, leading to a condition colloquially known as “cankles”.
Compression garments, such as stockings or sleeves, are usually recommended as part of the treatment and post-treatment regimen. These help to increase circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate discomfort.
Yes, Lipoedema is a progressive condition that tends to worsen over time if left untreated. However, progression rates can vary significantly among individuals.
Mons Pubis Liposuction
Mons Pubis Liposuction is a nip and tuck job we do to reduce the size of the mons pubis – the fatty area just above your pubic bone.
Well, if your mons pubis is bit on the large side, chap or madam, it might make tight clothes feel uncomfortable or you might feel a bit self-conscious. This procedure helps sort that.
We’ll have a natter about your health, and then the procedure itself is done under general or local anaesthetic. A small incision is made and a cannula’s used to suck out the unwanted fat.
If you’re in good nick and keep a stable weight, and you’ve got realistic expectations, this might be up your street. Smokers might find the recovery a bit tricky though.
If you’re finding tight clothes or swimsuits uncomfortable, you’re feeling self-conscious or you’ve been trying to shift fat from your pubic area without much success, this procedure might be your cup of tea.
We do traditional liposuction, which uses a cannula to get rid of the unwanted fat, and a procedure called the Tumescent Technique, where a solution’s used to firm up the tissue and make it easier to remove the fat.
At our place, we know what we’re doing and we make sure we take good care of our patients. We’ll have a proper chinwag before the procedure to make sure it’s right for you and your aims.
We’ll look after you from start to finish, from your first consultation, pre-op assessment and the procedure itself, right through to making sure you’re healing well in our post-op care and checking up on things in your aftercare review.
Typically, it’s a quick job; about an hour or so.
You’ll need to take things easy for about a week or so after the procedure, so we’d advise taking that time off work.
The procedure is carried out under local or general anaesthetic, so you won’t feel a thing during the operation. You might have some discomfort afterwards, but we’ll advise you on how to manage this.
You’ll have a bit of swelling after the procedure, but once that’s gone down in a few weeks, you’ll be able to see the new you.
Well, technically yes, but we aim to get you the results you want so you won’t need to reverse anything.
There might be some swelling, bruising or numbness, but these should sort themselves out.
The cost can vary depending on your individual needs. We’ll be able to give you an idea after you’ve had a consultation with Dr. Purbey.
Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that aims to enhance the volume and contour of your lips. This could involve the use of injectable fillers, a fat transfer, or surgical procedures, depending on your specific needs and the recommendations of Dr. Anuj Purbey.
Lip augmentation is suitable for any individual wishing for a fuller, more defined smile. However, the best candidates are usually those who are physically healthy, have realistic expectations, and can avoid smoking post treatment or at least during recovery.
At Dr. Anuj Purbey’s clinic, we offer a variety of methods for lip augmentation, including injectable fillers like hyaluronic acid, fat transfers, and surgical lip lifts, depending on the desired effect and patient preference.
The duration of the procedure varies depending on the method chosen. Injectable fillers are quick and may take only 30 to 90 minutes, while surgical methods like lip lifts could take around 1-2 hours.
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure conducted, but generally, major swelling and bruising subside within a week.
The durability of results depends on the type of procedure. While some injectable fillers last from six months to a year, surgical lip lifts or fat transfer procedures often provide more lasting effects.
Our team takes all the necessary precautions to ensure that your experience is as comfortable as possible. Typically, a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area before applying the filler. Some mild discomfort, following the treatment, is normal.
Every surgical procedure carries some risk. Potential complications of lip augmentation could include infection, bleeding, scarring, or asymmetry. However, these risks are minimized under the careful guidance of Dr. Anuj Purbey and his extensive experience in the field.
The cost of lip augmentation can vary depending on the specifics of the treatment plan. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anuj Purbey to discuss pricing.

Well, this depends on what type we use and how your body reacts to it. After a chinwag, Dr. Purbey will sort you out with a personalised treatment plan, including when you should come back to keep things looking sharp.
Wrinkle Reduction
We carry out a range of wrinkle-reducing treatments, including dermal fillers, botulinum toxin injections, hyaluronic acid injection treatments and facial PDO threading.
Wrinkle reduction treatments work by either relaxing the muscles causing the wrinkles, filling in the creases and lines with natural or synthetic materials, or tightening and rejuvenating the skin to minimize wrinkles.
The results may vary depending on the treatment and the individual, but generally, wrinkle reduction treatments can last up to 6 months to 2 years depending on factors like the type of treatment, area treated, post-op care, and individual response.
Although wrinkle reduction treatments are generally safe, some people might experience side effects such as redness, bruising, swelling, or pain at the injection site. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve quickly.
Most wrinkle reduction treatments show noticeable results within 1-2 weeks after the procedure. However, each individual’s response to the treatment and the type of treatment provided can affect the exact time frame.
Wrinkle reduction treatments offered by Dr. Anuj Purbey usually involve minimal downtime, allowing the patient to return to their everyday activities shortly after treatment.

Skin Lesions - Mole, Cyst, Skin Tag Removal
Skin lesions are abnormal growths or patches on the skin, such as moles, warts, or cysts. They always look different and sometimes itchy too from the surrounding skin.
We recommend that you have any growth removed from your skin if it causes discomfort, interferes with your daily life or activities, has the potential to become malignant, or when you want a smooth and fresh skin.
The area surrounding the lesion is numbed with a local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure.
Recovery times vary widely from patient to patient, but most people heal completely within a few weeks.
You can usually return to work or your normal activities the day after surgery. However, we may advise you to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few days afterward.
Scars tend to fade over time, but they can be more noticeable—or less so—depending on their location and size.
The cost of treating your stye can vary based on the type and location of the lesion. Please contact us to discuss pricing directly with a member of our team.
If a medical procedure is necessary to treat an ailment, it will be covered by insurance. Cosmetic procedures, on the other hand, may not be insured if they are deemed unnecessary.
While rare, complications such as infection, nerve damage, or an allergic reaction to anaesthesia can occur.
Irregular borders, varying colour, rapid growth, bleeding, or itching can all indicate a potentially problematic lesion.
Yes, indeed. If we detect and biopsy a suspicious skin lesion early on, it can help diagnose skin cancer at an early stage.
If a mole changes in size, colour, shape or starts to itch or bleed, it may need to be checked for cancer. Some people might also choose to remove it for cosmetic reasons.
The procedure usually involves numbing the area around the mole and using a small blade to cut it off. If the mole is large, sutures may be required.
Most cysts are harmless and disappear on their own. However, some can grow large, become painful, or look unsightly. These might need to be removed.
In a typical procedure, the area around the cyst is numbed, a small incision is made, and then the cyst is removed. The wound is then cleaned, and sutures or a dressing is applied.
Skin tags are usually harmless and don’t require treatment. However, they might be removed if they become irritated, if they are in visible areas, or for cosmetic reasons.
