In the last two decades, liposuction has been one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. It is suitable for removing unwanted fat pads permanently. And with rapid success - especially if they cannot be countered with a balanced diet and exercise

In women, liposuction is primarily used against the stubborn fat deposits on the outside of the thighs (breeches), the knees, hips, lower abdomen and upper arms. In men, the procedure is used against the problem areas of the lower abdomen, hip, chin and chest (gynecomastia). Hereditary lipoedema and lipolymphoedema are medically useful indications that a liposuction is to be considered.  Health insurance companies increasingly recognize this and sometimes assist insurants actively. Nowadays, over fifty percent of our liposuctions involve lipoedema on upper arms and upper and lower legs. However, benign tumors consisting of fat tissue (lipomas) are better and more sustainably removed with surgery

Liposuction: Fat off with different techniques and a lot of experience

During liposuction both superficial and deeper fat pads are permanently sucked. At the same time, modern suction technology stimulates your tissue to tighten itself, so that sagging skin does not even arise. This way, we can spare most patients skin tightening operations.

Preparations for liposuction: Before surgery, the flaps to be removed are marked with a waterproof pen.

We determine the choice of extraction technique according to your individual tissue type.

You can choose between gentle, conventional suction with the thinnest cannulas or suction assisted by vibration or water jet assist. Liposuction of smaller fat depots is performed painlessly in local anesthesia (a so-called tumescent local anesthetic), larger pads are removed using drowsy sleep or finely dosed anesthesia.

Even with anesthesia interventions, you can usually leave the clinic on the operation day, but if you prefer so you could also spend the first night at our clinic.After liposuction, the “before-after” difference may already be significant right after the operation. The differences can be one to two clothing sizes. The final result will appear after a few weeks to months.

In selected cases, we also advise you on the possibilities of injection lipolysis, better known as the “greasy syringe”.
