Liposuction

Before liposuction begins, the targeted areas are infiltrated with a solution containing local anaesthetics and adrenaline. This reduces bleeding during the procedure and helps with pain control afterward. Through small surgical incisions, a liposuction cannula is inserted under the skin. The surgeon removes fat using a sweeping motion at various depths beneath the skin. Depending on the area and individual case, several dozen millilitres to several litres of fatty tissue may be removed. During the first few days after surgery, rest is recommended, and pain medication may be used if necessary. For 1–2 months, it may be necessary to wear a compression garment or specialised elastic pants to reduce swelling in the treated areas. Final results become visible after swelling subsides, which can take several months. Results are long-lasting but depend on lifestyle, physical activity, diet, and natural ageing processes.
