Learn MoreContoura Medical is a doctor-led body contouring and skin tightening practice at Langham Hospital, Marylebone, London. Dr Edwin Anthony, a GMC-registered cosmetic surgeon, personally performs every procedure for adults with stubborn fat, lipoedema, gynaecomastia or loose skin.
What we treat
Most of our work is VASER liposuction and the skin tightening that often goes with it. VASER uses ultrasound energy to loosen fat before it is removed through fine cannulas, which helps protect surrounding tissue. It is surgery, even when done under local anaesthetic, and it is not a weight-loss treatment.
- VASER family: Micro Lipo for small areas under local anaesthetic, Vaser Lipo, Vaser 4D Lipo, Vaser 360 Lipo for the whole torso, and Vaser Hi-Def for athletic definition.
- Medical conditions: lipoedema reduction and gynaecomastia correction, set out on our medical lipo page.
- Skin tightening: QuantumRF, Renuvion, BodyTite Turbo, EmbraceRF2 and Thermage FLX, compared on our skin tightening page.
- Fat grafting and face: micro and nano fat grafting using your own fat, and facial tightening with EmbraceRF2 or Thermage FLX.
Where to start if you are unsure
Many people arrive knowing the problem but not the procedure. This table is a rough starting point, not a diagnosis. Your plan is agreed only after examination.
| Your main concern | Often discussed first | Type of treatment |
|---|---|---|
| A small pocket of fat, such as the chin or knees | Micro Lipo | Minor surgery, local anaesthetic |
| Stubborn fat on the stomach, flanks or back | Vaser 4D Lipo or Vaser 360 Lipo | Surgery, usually IV sedation with local anaesthetic |
| Painful, disproportionate fat on legs or arms | Lipoedema liposuction | Medical surgery, staged if needed |
| Enlarged male chest | Gynaecomastia correction | Surgery, liposuction with or without gland removal |
| Loose skin after weight loss | QuantumRF or Quantum Vaser Lipo | Minimally invasive or combined surgery |
| Mild facial laxity with no downtime wanted | Thermage FLX | Non-invasive |
How the consultation works
- Choose a format. A video consultation (£85) suits a first conversation. An in-clinic consultation (£125) includes examination. The advanced consultation with ultrasound (£295) measures fat and skin thickness where the plan depends on it.
- Assessment. Dr Anthony takes your medical history, examines the areas, and takes standardised photographs.
- Honest options. He explains what is realistic, including when a non-surgical option or a tummy tuck would suit you better.
- Written quote. The full price, with theatre fees and IV sedation itemised where needed, is confirmed in writing. You can compare it with our price list.
- Time to decide. You go home with the information and decide in your own time. There is no pressure to book on the day.
Safety and regulation
Consultations and procedures take place at Langham Hospital, 77 Hallam Street, within the Harley Street medical district. Regulated services are provided under the hospital's Care Quality Commission registration, and surgical lists are supported by experienced anaesthetists and specialist nurses.
- Dr Anthony is on the GMC register with a licence to practise (GMC 4776646).
- He has performed over 1,500 VASER procedures across 14 years of dedicated VASER practice.
- Serious complications from liposuction are uncommon. A US study of 246,119 procedures in accredited facilities found an overall confirmed complication rate of 0.40%, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum.
- The NHS advises avoiding strenuous activity for 10 to 12 weeks after liposuction, and our aftercare plans follow a similar timescale.
What patients say
Contoura Medical holds an average of 4.92 out of 5 from 549 patient reviews. Reviews describe individual experiences and are not a promise of any result. You can read them in full on our reviews page and see before and after photographs in the gallery.
Orovenza: our non-surgical division
Not everyone needs surgery. Orovenza is our nurse-led non-surgical division, with Dr Anthony providing medical oversight. It covers treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, Morpheus8 Scale & Burst and T Lab PRP. If your concern is skin quality rather than fat or laxity, we may suggest starting there.

Frequently asked questions
What is Contoura Medical?
Contoura Medical is a doctor-led practice for VASER liposuction, lipoedema and gynaecomastia surgery, skin tightening and fat grafting. It is based at Langham Hospital, 77 Hallam Street, Marylebone, London. Dr Edwin Anthony, Lead Clinician, sees every patient at consultation and personally performs every procedure, supported by the hospital's anaesthetists and nurses.
Who performs procedures at Contoura Medical?
Dr Edwin Anthony, GMC 4776646, performs every surgical and skin tightening procedure. He trained in medicine at Trinity College Dublin, holds MRCS (Edinburgh), trained in NHS plastic surgery and burns units, and learned high-definition liposculpture with Dr Alfredo Hoyos. He has carried out over 1,500 VASER procedures across 14 years.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the procedure, the number of areas and whether you need IV sedation. Guide prices are on our price list, and your full price, including hospital theatre fees where they apply, is confirmed in writing after consultation. Consultations cost £85 by video, £125 in clinic or £295 with ultrasound.
Is VASER liposuction a way to lose weight?
No. VASER is a contouring procedure for stubborn fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. It suits people at or near a stable weight. If you have a lot of weight to lose, we will usually suggest doing that first, because results are more predictable and surgery is safer.
Do you treat lipoedema?
Yes. Lipoedema is a chronic condition causing painful, disproportionate fat, usually on the legs and sometimes the arms. Dr Anthony uses lymph-sparing VASER techniques to reduce the fat, often over more than one stage. He is a recognised clinician member of Lipoedema UK and a member of the International Lipoedema Association.
Will I be awake during my procedure?
Usually, yes. Micro Lipo and Vaser Lipo are done under local anaesthetic. Larger procedures such as Vaser 4D Lipo are mainly done with IV sedation plus local anaesthetic, given by an anaesthetist, so you are relaxed and drowsy. Your anaesthetic plan is explained at consultation and itemised in your quote.
How long is recovery?
Most people return to desk work within a few days to a week after smaller procedures and one to two weeks after larger ones. You wear a compression garment for several weeks. Swelling settles gradually, and final contours are usually judged at around three to six months, sometimes longer after extensive treatment.
Is Contoura Medical regulated?
Yes. Consultations and procedures take place at Langham Hospital, and regulated services are provided under the hospital's Care Quality Commission registration. Dr Anthony is registered with the General Medical Council with a licence to practise, and you can check his entry on the public GMC register using his number, 4776646.
Can I have a video consultation first?
Yes. A video consultation costs £85 and is a good way to discuss your goals, medical history and likely options before travelling. Surgery is never booked without an in-person assessment, because the areas need to be examined. It also suits patients who live outside London.
What is the difference between Contoura Medical and Orovenza?
Contoura Medical provides doctor-performed surgical and minimally invasive treatments such as VASER liposuction and QuantumRF. Orovenza is the nurse-led non-surgical division, offering injectables, skin boosters and energy-based skin treatments with medical oversight from Dr Anthony. Both work from Langham Hospital, so patients can move between them if their needs change.
