Liposuction

Liposuction

Dieting is a strenuous process that requires persistence, but it’s indispensable on your way towards losing weight. Unfortunately, the effects take time to show which can be demotivating, considering that some body parts are difficult to contour by means of diet or exercise.

 

Liposuction is a way to improve your body shape, as it immediately removes excessive fat from the most “stubborn” body parts.

Liposuction is not a strictly slimming treatment (even though you lose fat and weight), it merely eliminates the shortcomings of your body shape. It’s perfect for shaping waist or enhancing buttocks. It involves the removal of excess body fat from specific areas of the body, for example: abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees or chin.

Liposuction is usually done under intravenous or general anaesthesia. Fatty tissue is first injected with an anaesthetic solution through several minor incisions in the skin, next fatty tissue is broken up with a special device and its excess is sucked out making sure that the remaining surface is smooth.

It is safe to remove ca. 3 – 4 litres of fat during a single procedure. Afterwards you will have to wear special pressure garment which reduces swelling and facilitates the process of skin tightening. Comprehensive Perioperative Care, our proprietary healing support programme, accelerates healing and can improve aesthetic outcomes of the procedure.

Vaser-Lipo uses ultrasound to reduce invasiveness of the procedure and shorten recovery time. Moreover, it does not damage fatty cells that are sucked out, so in some cases the extracted fat can be simultaneously grafted to breasts, face or buttocks to modify their shape.
