Liposuction

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.
