Liposuction – fat removal
A harmonious figure cannot always be achieved with exercise and a healthy diet. Sometimes there are pockets of fat that just won't go away despite your best efforts.
Indication
Especially if you have already lost weight, it can be frustrating if you cannot achieve your desired body shape.
Losing weight is also not always desirable, as otherwise valuable fat deposits on the face, chest or buttocks will become smaller, which may cause the overlying skin to begin to sag. In these cases, liposuction offers a good solution.
Regions
Liposuction is generally possible on all areas of the body where there are unwanted fat deposits under the skin. For a better result, it sometimes makes sense to combine liposuction with an autologous fat transplant (liposculpture, e.g. in the face or buttocks area).
Lipedema
Liposuction can also significantly improve the symptoms and body shape of lipedema patients.
Treatment
After injecting a special solution that anaesthetises the tissue and at the same time reduces blood loss, the fatty tissue in the deeper layers under the skin is removed using cannulas of different sizes.
The required access incisions are no longer than 5 millimetres and are made in inconspicuous areas such as skin folds or placed in such a way that they are later well concealed by clothing.
Result
Due to post-operative swelling, the improvement in body contour after liposuction is not always immediately visible.
Compression garment
To promote healing, I recommend wearing tight-fitting compression garments for four to six weeks after the operation.
Lymphatic massage
Lymphatic massage contributes significantly to faster recovery and optimal results. I will be happy to draw up an individual treatment plan for you.
