Harmonious and defined contours


Harmonious and defined contours

Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that selectively removes localized fat deposits, contouring the silhouette in areas resistant to diet and physical exercise. It is indicated for:

  • Localized fat deposits on the flanks, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks
  • Saddlebags (culotte de cheval) and fat deposits on the knees
  • Double chin and submental fat
  • Fat deposits on the arms, back, and ankles
  • Correction of body asymmetries

It is not a weight-loss surgery, but rather a procedure to redefine body proportions. Results are visible after just a few weeks and stabilize in 3–6 months.

The journey

Stages of the treatment


During the consultation, treatment areas, skin quality, and tissue elasticity are evaluated. Incision access points and the amount of fat to be removed are planned.

Pre-operative examinations: blood chemistry tests, ECG, and anesthesiology consultation in case of general anesthesia.

  • Duration: 1 – 3 hours
  • Anesthesia: local with sedation or general
  • Hospital stay: day surgery or 1 night

Through tiny incisions of just a few millimeters, cannulas are introduced to selectively aspirate fat. Scars are minimal and barely visible.

Edema and bruising are expected and resolve within the first few weeks. A compression garment must be worn for approximately 4 weeks.

  • Resumption of light activities: 7–10 days
  • Full recovery: 3–4 weeks
  • Final result: 3–6 months

FAQ


Does liposuction cause weight loss?

No, it is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. It removes localized fat and improves body proportions.

Can fat return?

Removed fat cells do not regenerate; however, in case of weight gain, remaining fat cells in other areas can expand.

Will there be scars?

The incisions are only a few millimeters long, and resulting scars are minimal and generally barely visible.

When are results visible?

Initial results are visible after a few weeks; the final outcome is appreciated at 3–6 months.

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Yes, it is often combined with abdominoplasty, lifting procedures, or lipofilling.

How much fat can be removed?

The amount varies depending on the patient; generally, 2 to 5 liters can be safely removed per procedure.
