Liposuction
Liposuction gently removes stubborn fat and shapes the figure. A modern tumescent technique, quick recovery and a long-lasting to permanent result.
Liposuction is a targeted procedure that removes localised fat deposits from specific problem areas of the body and shapes the silhouette into a more harmonious, slimmer form. It is not a weight-loss method or a treatment for obesity — liposuction cannot solve significant excess weight. It is intended for people of normal or slightly increased weight who have stubborn fat in certain areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, arms, double chin, knees) that does not respond to diet and exercise. The procedure creates smoother contours, slims the figure and emphasises the natural proportions of the body.
How liposuction is performed
Liposuction is performed under analgosedation or general anaesthesia — the choice depends on the extent of the areas treated and your preferences. Under analgosedation you stay relaxed and awake, feel no pain and can talk to the doctor. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours in total, depending on the number and size of the areas treated.
In each area only a very small incision of about 5 mm is made in the skin — once healed, these are practically invisible. A thin infiltration needle is inserted through the incision and the area is filled with tumescent solution — a special mixture containing a local anaesthetic, adrenaline and saline. The solution minimises bleeding, relieves pain, loosens the fat cells and makes it easier to remove them safely.
The excess fat is then removed by suction through a thin cannula — the movements of the cannula are gentle and precise to keep the contours even and prevent unevenness. At the end, the small incisions are closed with absorbable stitches and an elastic compression garment is put on the treated areas, which must be worn continuously for 4 weeks. Compression not only prevents bleeding after the operation and reduces swelling but also helps the skin adhere to its new shape faster and prevents unevenness.
The procedure is designed to be as gentle as possible to the surrounding tissue and to give a smooth, natural result with minimal risk of complications. We use the latest tumescent technique, which increases precision and patient comfort.
The result of liposuction
Fat deposits do not form again in the treated areas. The fat cells that have been removed do not regenerate, so the areas stay slimmer even with slight weight gain. The result is natural and harmonious — the body looks more balanced, without an artificial look. Liposuction often complements abdominoplasty to reshape the whole figure. Recovery takes about 1–2 weeks, with the compression garment supporting quick healing and the best result.
We focus on precise and symmetrical fat removal with minimal swelling. If stubborn fat in certain areas bothers you, do not hesitate to contact us — together we will discuss which areas are suitable for liposuction and what result is realistic for you.
Liposuction vs. weight loss
Liposuction and weight loss address completely different things. While diet and exercise reduce the total amount of fat in the body by shrinking fat cells, liposuction physically removes fat cells from specific places. After puberty, fat cells essentially do not multiply — their number stays relatively constant throughout life. When you lose weight, these cells only shrink, but their number stays the same. That is why fat often returns to the same areas where most of it was stored before — the genetically determined “problem zones”.
Genetics and hormones decide where the body stores fat first and where it loses it last. In women these are often the hips, thighs, buttocks and lower abdomen; in men, the abdomen and flanks. Another important point is that diet and cardio burn fat evenly across the whole body but cannot target a single area.
That is why many people still see disproportions after losing weight — a slim torso but heavier thighs, or thin arms but a double chin. Liposuction evens out exactly these genetically determined imbalances — it removes fat cells where there are too many and shapes the figure exactly as you wish. The result is a more balanced silhouette that weight loss alone cannot achieve.
