FAQ about Liposuction

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a plastic operation to remove a certain amount of fatty tissue through small punctures on the skin using specialized equipment. The lipo is divided into different types depending on the area should be operated (abdominal liposuction, buttock liposuction, neck lipo, knee liposuction, and so on).

BMI (body mass index)

under 35 kg/m2

Who benefits the lipo?

The main indication for the surgery is excess fat that deforms the body contours. Surgeons perform liposuction locally, in particular on the abdomen, thighs, knees, neck, buttocks, etc.

The procedure is suitable for people who have excess weight with BMI (body mass index) under 35. For overweight people, lipo is an excellent option to get a perfect body and regain your figure factly.

Liposuction is best for people with the right skin tone and elasticity because it forms a new contour of the body without wrinkles.

A person must be over 18 years old and have good health status. Those with severe chronic illnesses cannot undergo this procedure.

What is preoperative preparation for liposuction?

Before liposuction, a patient undergoes the lab tests. They include blood and urine analysis, ECG.

A plastic surgeon examines a patient and discusses the volume of intervention. Then an anesthesiologist determines the type of anesthesia.

If there are no contraindications, the liposuction is assigned the next day.

What is the liposuction process?

Doctors conduct liposuction under local or general anesthesia. The anesthetic type depends on the location of the problem area and its size.

Then a plastic surgeon starts liposuction. A specialist uses a thin tube-shaped instrument called a cannula. Through the 3-6 mm incisions, fat is pumped out.

The procedure is carried out very slowly and carefully to avoid the nerves and vessel injuries, to save asymmetry of body contours.

The liposuction of one area takes 1-1.5 hours. If a doctor operates several areas, the duration of the procedure is prolonged up to 5 hours.

In some cases, specialists perform abdominoplasty after abdomen liposuction. It helps to achieve a better result and avoid asymmetry.

Find out more information on the lipo surgery process in the video.

What rules should I follow during postoperative rehabilitation?

Just after the surgery, a doctor places a special bandage on the operating area. It speeds up the recovery of tissues, reduces swelling, and improves skin retraction. This bandage is prescribed to be worn for 4-10 weeks.

The hospitalization after liposuction is 2 days in most cases. If there are no complications, and the area for surgical intervention is small, a patient is discharged after the procedure. In other cases, liposuction takes up to 2 days.

A patient stays in the country for 10 days. The sutures are removed in 7 days. A patient can return to the usual lifestyle in 2-3 weeks.

To maintain the new body shape, it is necessary to keep a diet and lead an active lifestyle — otherwise, the overweight returns.

What results can I expect after liposuction?

Liposuction results are not noticeable until the swelling decreases. In some cases, this process may take several months. Most of the edema (swelling caused by fluid retention) reduces in about 4 weeks, and the area where the fat has been removed becomes less extensive.

People keeping fit usually get excellent and consistent results. Those gaining weight after the procedure may find that their fat distribution changes. For example, people who previously have had fat accumulation in their thighs may find that their buttocks are becoming a new problem area.

What are the risks of lipo?

Any serious surgery is associated with a risk of bleeding, infection, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.

The risk of complications is usually related to the procedure extensiveness and surgeon’s skills.

The following risks, unpleasant side effects or complications are possible:

  • bruising — can last for several weeks
  • inflammation — may take up to 6 months
  • thrombophlebitis — a blood clot in a vein formation
  • contours roughness — if the skin has low elasticity, the skin may look saggy and wavy
  • numbness — the affected area may feel numb, but usually, it is temporary
  • infections — rarely, skin infection may occur after liposuction surgery; sometimes it needs to be treated surgically, with the risk of scarring
  • kidney or heart problems — as fluids are injected during the operation, changes in fluid levels in the body can cause kidney or heart problems (therefore, there is a limit on the amount of fat removed)
  • pulmonary embolism — fat enters the blood vessels and lungs, blocking blood circulation in the lungs
  • allergic reaction — the patient may be allergic to drugs or materials used during the surgery
  • skin burns — the cannula movement can cause injuries on the skin that is especially characteristic for ultrasonic and laser liposuction.

What areas are intended for liposuction?

Our Liposuction Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Liposuction, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Tumescent Liposuction

Involves injecting a solution to firm the fat, making it easier to remove with less pain, bleeding, and quicker recovery.

Pros: Local anesthesia. Reduced blood loss by up to 90% compared to traditional lipo. Unlike Vaser or laser lipo, which risk burns from heat, tumescent lipo is safer for larger fat removal.
Cons: Injected saline with anesthetic is up to 3-4 times the fat amount, risking fluid overload.
Effectiveness: Removes 3-5 liters (or 6-10 pounds) of stubborn fat.
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: About 1-2 weeks for daily activities, with full healing in 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck. Improves body contour, not for significant weight reduction.

Body Jet Liposuction

Body Jet liposuction uses a gentle water-jet stream to dislodge and remove fat with precision and minimal trauma.

Pros: Minimizes tissue damage by using water pressure, aiding faster recovery. Reduces bruising by up to 50% compared to traditional methods.
Cons: May not be as effective for large volume fat removal compared to other methods like tumescent liposuction.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 3-4 liters of fat per session.
Duration: 1-3 hours
Recovery: 3-7 days
Best for: Small to moderate areas like abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms. Ideal for those seeking precise body contouring.

Vaser Liposuction

Vaser liposuction is a body contouring procedure using ultrasound technology to selectively remove unwanted fat.

Pros: Less invasive due to precise targeting of fat cells. Removes up to 30% more fat than traditional methods. Minimal damage to surrounding tissues, reducing recovery time compared to belt lipectomy.
Cons: Slightly longer procedure time compared to laser liposuction. Potential for skin irregularities if not performed by an experienced surgeon.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 4 liters of fat in a single session.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Recovery: About 1-2 weeks for daily activities, full healing in 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, flanks, back, arms. Ideal for precise body contouring and definition.

Belt Lipectomy

A surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, improving body contour.

Pros: Provides comprehensive contouring around the waist and back, addressing multiple areas in one surgery. Unlike liposuction, it tightens loose skin significantly.
Cons: Longer recovery time compared to liposuction procedures like Vaser or Body Jet. Involves more extensive scarring due to the larger incision.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 10-15 pounds of excess skin and fat.
Duration: 4-6 hours
Recovery: About 4-6 weeks for full activity, with initial recovery in 2-3 weeks.
Best for: Individuals with significant skin laxity around the abdomen and lower back, often post-major weight loss.

Liposuction 3 Body Areas

Fat reduction surgery targeting three specific body areas to improve contour and remove excess fat.

Pros: Efficiently targets multiple areas in one session, reducing overall procedure time. Offers a more balanced body contour compared to focusing on a single area.
Cons: Longer recovery time than single-area liposuction, as the body needs to heal from multiple sites.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 6 liters (or 13 pounds) of fat across the treated areas.
Duration: 3-5 hours
Recovery: 2-3 weeks for daily activities, with full healing in 6-8 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, and flanks. Ideal for those seeking comprehensive body contouring.

Liposuction (5 Body Areas)

Body liposuction targets five body areas to remove excess fat and improve body contouring.

Pros: Efficiently targets multiple areas, enhancing overall body symmetry. Removes up to 6-10 pounds of fat, providing a noticeable change.
Cons: Longer procedure time compared to liposuction for fewer areas. Increased risk of complications due to larger treatment areas.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 6-10 pounds of fat.
Duration: 4-6 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks for daily activities, with full healing in 6-8 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and buttocks. Addresses multiple fat deposits in one session.

Laser Liposuction

Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure using laser technology to liquefy fat cells before removal.

Pros: Less invasive than traditional methods, with a 25% faster recovery time. Enhanced skin tightening due to laser stimulation.
Cons: Limited to smaller areas, with a risk of burns if not performed correctly. Not ideal for large volume fat removal.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 3 liters of fat in a single session.
Duration: 1-3 hours
Recovery: 2-7 days
Best for: Small areas like chin, arms, and knees. Ideal for contouring and skin tightening.
