Liposuction

Are you trying to exercise, eat healthily, but in some places on the body you cannot get rid of fat deposits? We have good news for you! You do not have to despair and even worry about wearing a swimsuit during the summer. Liposuction, one of the most sought after treatment in plastic and aesthetic surgery, can help you.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that reduces the subcutaneous fat layer at sites where it is stored excessively. It is necessary to add that liposuction is not a method that reduces overweight, only corrects problematic areas. It is possible to suction up to 2 000 - 3 000 ml of fat in one treatment, but it always depends on the total weight of the individual. In general, liposuction is suitable for people with a stable weight.

What areas does the procedure treat?

Surgeons mostly perform liposuction in areas where fat accumulates majorly. It is usually the abdominal wall, including the hips, the lower limbs, the back, but also the arms and chin. Area selection is always upon personal consultation with a plastic surgeon.

How does liposuction take place?

The main principle of liposuction is fat deposits suction. Our doctors perform the procedure in general or local anaesthesia. Scars after the surgery are small; usually 5 - 10 mm long. Firstly, the surgeon injects a tumescence solution through the cannula and then suctions the fat from the area. After the liposuction, he closes the surgical wounds by the dissolvable sutures, so the patient does not need to come back for the stitches removal.

Effect of the procedure

The effect of the procedure can be evaluated only after several months when the treated area is completely free of swelling. The patient must wear compression garments after the operation for six weeks. This step is essential for the best possible result. Another crucial step in postoperative care is lymphatic drainage.
