Liposuction
GENERAL FEATURES OF THE OPERATION
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess localized fat deposits from the body using a gentle vacuum technique. It is one of the most effective and popular methods for achieving body contouring and regional slimming.
The procedure can be performed on any area of the body where stubborn fat tends to accumulate — including the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, and back. Liposuction helps redefine body contours and enhance overall proportions by targeting areas resistant to diet and exercise.
However, it is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss method and should not be considered a treatment for obesity. Its purpose is to sculpt and refine specific regions of the body, not to reduce overall body weight.
When performed by an experienced surgeon, liposuction offers safe, precise, and lasting results, helping patients achieve a smoother and more balanced silhouette.
During liposuction, it is technically possible to remove a large amount of fat — up to 8 to 10 kilograms (approximately 17–22 pounds) in a single session.
However, removing such high volumes is not considered safe, as it may disrupt the body’s natural fluid and electrolyte balance.
For optimal safety, most surgeons recommend removing between 2.5 and 4 liters of fat per session. This range provides visible, natural-looking results without putting unnecessary strain on the body.
After liposuction surgery, most patients are able to return to their normal social and professional activities within about one week.
However, complete healing and the final contouring results typically take 4 to 6 weeks to fully develop.
Wearing compression garments as instructed and following your surgeon’s post-operative care guidelines help ensure smooth recovery, minimal swelling, and long-lasting results.
