How liposuction works
Liposuction is performed with extremely thin cannulas that are pushed under the skin through tiny incisions (about 4 mm in size).
These small incisions are dressed with staple plasters after the procedure so that any remaining anaesthetic solution can escape, but the wound edges can heal together quickly. The small scars are hardly visible after a few months.
Alternative to liposuction:
The Fat way syringe and Lose weight with ultrasound. Which method is best for you will be clarified in the course of my medical consultation.
Liposuction areas
Liposuction is usually performed on specific areas of the body where fat deposits are particularly stubborn and cannot be reduced by diet and exercise.
The most commonly treated areas of the body are:
- Belly
- Hip
- Thigh (inner and outer)
- Po
- Arms
- Double chin
- Back
- Knees
- Lower legs
- Feet
It should be noted, however, that liposuction should not be used as a weight loss method and that it is an invasive and high-risk operation that should only be performed by qualified doctors. It is important to have realistic expectations and to consult thoroughly with the doctor before the operation.
Frequently asked questions about liposuction
Is liposuction performed with a general anaesthetic?
No, of particular importance is that the treatment with us is performed under local anaesthesia. Therefore, a general anaesthetic with all its advantages and disadvantages is not necessary.
Does liposuction hurt?
Because of the local anaesthetic, we do not normally need to administer any anaesthetic or painkillers. For patients who are very anxious or still feel residual pain, an anaesthetist is always available.
Are there any risks with liposuction?
In addition to the cosmetic risk, liposuction involves the usual risks of any operation, such as thrombosis, embolism, infections, bleeding, vascular and nerve damage as well as a possible allergy to the anaesthetic. Thanks to the much gentler suction technique, all of these risks rarely occur, but they cannot be completely ruled out.
Are there any side effects of liposuction?
Immediately after the procedure, bruising may occur, which, like all bruises, will completely disappear within a few weeks. The healing process in the liposuctioned area with skin regression takes 4 to 6 months, by which time at the latest the liposuctioned area can only be recognised by the "slimming effect" achieved.
Where can fat be suctioned?
Common treatment areas for liposuction are the abdomen, buttocks, hips or thighs (e.g. riding breeches). The chin (often colloquially referred to as a double chin) or the chest (in men) can also be treated in this way.
What do I have to pay attention to after liposuction?
If you can manage it, one to two days of physical rest will do you good, especially as more frequent dressing changes are required in the first two days due to the anaesthetic fluid still escaping. You should only start doing sports again after a one-week rest period. You should avoid the sauna for four weeks, as the heat can promote swelling.
What happens to excess skin?
The skin by nature has a high ability to regress. After liposuction, it usually recedes by itself due to the scar in the subcutaneous tissue caused by the wound healing.
Diet sparing through liposuction, is that possible?
No, the aim of liposuction is not weight reduction, but harmonisation and proportioning of the body contour. The fat deposits that remain after a general weight reduction through dieting are specifically removed.
What is the difference between dieting and liposuction?
Whereas diets aim at general weight reduction, liposuction, on the other hand, does not lead to weight loss, but removes precisely those disturbing fat deposits that stubbornly resist diets and exercise.
Do removed fat cells grow back?
No, fat cells basically do not grow back or form anew.
Can liposuction be optimised?
Deep massage using a vacuum device and special skin care products can achieve rapid tightening and smoothing of the skin after liposuction and optimise the result.
What does liposuction cost?
Serious statements about the costs of liposuction can only be made after a personal consultation and examination of the area to be treated.
