Liposuction in Blanchardstown

Blanchardstown in numbers

Blanchardstown is one of the two largest areas in this guide by population.

Getting to a consultation

For the consultation, public transport is fine: Coolmine and Clonsilla stations on the Maynooth line. Bring the questions list, or make your own with the planner above, and allow time to think before you book.

The day of surgery

After a general anaesthetic you need an adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours. From Blanchardstown that's a drive of about 21 minutes from the city centre in light traffic, more at rush hour. Even under local anaesthetic, plan a lift rather than the train: you'll be sore, padded and in a compression garment.

Check-ups

Expect about 3 visits after the operation day: a wound check in the first week or two and a later review. From Blanchardstown to St Stephen's Green and back, that's around 2.1 hours in the car over the weeks. Ask how many check-ups are included, and whether any can be by video.

What it costs

One area €2,200 to €4,500, two areas €3,000 to €7,000, three or more €3,500 to €7,000, a men's chest €3,300 to €6,500. See the Dublin price guide.

Before you book

Every doctor practising in Ireland must be registered with the Medical Council, and only a doctor with specialist registration can practise independently as a specialist. For liposuction, check for the Specialist Division entry in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery on the Medical Council's online register before you book.

Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment: it takes away stubborn pockets of fat at a steady weight. It won't shift cellulite or stretch marks, and it doesn't tighten loose skin.
