About this procedure

Aspirating, through cannulas, regional fat deposits that resist diet and exercise.

Surgical approach and technique

Through small cannula entry points the excess fat is aspirated with the aid of a vacuum. It is a body-contouring procedure, not an operation for losing weight.

Who is it for?

Applicable in people whose body mass index is close to normal but who have regional fat deposits.

Recovery

A special compression garment is worn for three to four weeks. As the swelling settles, the body's lines become clearer.

Back to desk work: approx. 5 days. Social recovery: approx. 21 days. Depending on the scope of surgery you should plan for between 6 and 12 nights. The exact figure is confirmed in writing with your treatment plan.

The information on this page is general and does not replace medical advice. Timings and recovery vary between individuals; a definitive plan can only be made after examination.

Frequently asked questions

Does fat build up again in a treated area?

The fat cells removed do not multiply again, so fat does not accumulate at the former density in that area.
