Liposuction

Liposuction removes isolated fat deposits that disrupt silhouette – typically on chin/neck, arms, abdomen, hips, back, buttocks or thighs. It is not a weight-loss method and is only done with BMI under 30. Deposits may be hormonal or hereditary and often do not disappear with exercise alone.

Who is it for?

Best for people near normal weight with good skin elasticity and local problem areas. With large skin excess, liposuction alone is not enough – tightening may be combined. Elasticity and medical history are assessed at consultation.

How it works

Duration is typically 1–4 hours depending on areas and volume. Techniques may be manual, power-assisted or water-assisted (Body-Jet). Fluid with local anaesthetic is infiltrated; fine cannulas (about 2–5 mm) remove fat. On average about 2 litres is often removed; up to about 5 litres may be the safety limit. Follow-up and dressing care follow.

Risks

Risks may include bleeding, bruising, infection, temporary numbness, irregularities and asymmetry. Body-Jet can reduce trauma and bruising. Treating too many areas at once raises risk.

Recovery and maintenance

Drink plenty for the first days. Protect scars with sunscreen and tape. Firm tissue and minor irregularities are normal for months. The result holds best with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
