LIPOSUCTION

It is important to note that liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss for obesity. It should serve as a treatment method for excess fat on specific areas of the body that does not disappear even with appropriate diet and exercise. At Medical INN we offer the so-called PAL method. This is a vibration-assisted liposuction, which has established it as particularly gentle and effective. In addition, we offer the Leonardo laser as an option for skin tightening. In this way, larger tightening operations with corresponding scars can usually be avoided. Our experience shows that this method brings smooth results, a quick recovery and a beautiful tightening of the skin.

Exercise and dieting generally help you lose weight. But you may also know that there are times when you lose weight on all areas of your body - just not where you really want it. With plastic cosmetic surgery and liposuction, we can contour your body the way you want it. We remove the fat specifically in the existing problem areas. With the help of some techniques, we clean this fat and can inject it into another area of the body. Many women use this for breast augmentation or butt augmentation, for example.

If you lose weight in a conventional way, the existing fat cells only decrease in size. Since they are still there, they can also easily enlarge again. Liposuction removes the fat cells permanently, making it difficult to regain fat in the treated areas.

Costs depend on the amount of work involved and the surgical technique. This will be determined together with you during a personal consultation.

For example, before liposuction, fat deposits are visible on the thighs and hips. The doctor marks the areas where the fat is to be removed. Then, a special solution (called tumescent solution) is infiltrated into the areas to be suctioned. This solution has an anesthetic effect, reduces the risk of bleeding, and makes it easier to suction out the fat cells. The fat is gently suctioned with a cannula to remove it from the body. After liposuction, the result is a smooth and beautifully defined figure.

Your experienced plastic and aesthetic surgeon at Medical INN will discuss your wishes and the realistic possibilities in detail during the initial consultation. At this appointment you will get all the information about liposuction, the methods, costs and possibilities of financing. You can also ask all your questions, which we will answer in detail.

While you are standing, the plastic and cosmetic surgeon draws marks on your body showing the desired target areas. We use these markings as guidelines during the procedure to remove the fat from your abdomen, face, chest or other areas as you desire.

We perform liposuction using various methods of anesthesia such as general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or light sedation (twilight sleep). In any case, we make sure that you do not experience any pain or unpleasant moments during the procedure. Duration depends on the target areas. On average, liposuction takes 1-2 hours.

Tiny incisions are made in order to be able to insert the cannulas for suctioning. Of course, our renowned surgeons take care to make the incisions so that they are as invisible as possible after the healing process.

In order for us to aspirate the desired amount of fat cells, you will be given a drug to minimize blood loss. The injection classifies this method as tumescent liposuction, which in our experience is very effective. In the next step, a vibrating cannula is inserted into the skin and with gentle back and forth movements, the fat is sucked out of the body through the cannula. In order to give you a particularly beautiful, aesthetic result, we use only small cannulas.

We either sew up the incisions made during the procedure with 1-2 stitches or leave them open to allow the fluid to drain. We bandage the incision areas.
Afterwards, the previously measured compression girdle for the corresponding areas is put on you. This is important to model the optimal shape and silhouette.

After surgery, you will wear a support bandage every day for 4-6 weeks. This will help reduce swelling. In addition, your body will get used to the newly created contours. Bruising and swelling are normal after the procedure. These disappear after a few days to weeks. If you follow our recommendations, you can reduce the formation of hematomas to some extent and speed up the healing process. For the pain, you will receive pain medication from our doctors, to make the time after the surgery more comfortable and pain-free for you. Usually, you can go back to work after a few days.

Basically, any part of the body is suitable for aesthetic liposuction. What differs is the method. The most common areas:
- Abdomen & hips
- Inner & outer thighs
- Back
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Face & Neck
- Thighs
- Female breast (also breast reduction)
- Male breast (gynecomastia)

Liposuction is usually uncomplicated and suitable for many people. However, there are criteria that have a significant impact on the outcome. More information:

Strong and elastic skin is more suitable, as it adapts to the new contour more quickly. In patients of advanced age, or genetically in younger people, less elastic skin can lead to excess skin.
- No extreme overweight. An average or slightly above average weight is ideal, as liposuction does not replace exercise or dieting.
- Overall good health. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, discuss it with your attending physician before the procedure.

Like any other plastic aesthetic treatment, liposuction can involve risks and complications. The procedure has been constantly evolving over the past few decades, making it safer and safer for you. Today, the risks are minimal. At Medical INN, you will be cared for exclusively by experienced plastic and aesthetic surgery specialists who perform liposuction safely and effectively.

Liposuction does not remove visceral fat. This is fat in your abdomen that surrounds your organs. Only proper diet and exercise can help with visceral fat.

Basically, liposuction is suitable for any part of the body. We only advise against performing the aesthetic treatment in the knee area. This is where important nerves and blood vessels run, which could be injured.

Liposuction can minimize the degree of cellulite in an area and drastically reduce orange peel skin. It is best to ask your plastic and cosmetic surgeon if liposuction can remove or reduce the cellulite on your body. There are patients for whom endermologie shows better results.

During the procedure, local or general anesthesia is used. For this reason, you will not feel anything from the treatment. After the surgery, you will be given painkillers to minimize pain.

Liposuction will not remove stretch marks. You can try some of our non-surgical treatments, such as laser fractional treatments, to reduce their visibility.

If you exercise and stick to a healthy diet, the result will last until age and other factors of this kind will take their toll. Nevertheless, if you regain weight after liposuction, fat cells may also form again in the treated areas. Fortunately, only a few fat cells will remain as a result of the treatment. Therefore, the gain volume will be less than before the surgery.

Yes, you can have more than one area treated. You can even combine liposuction with breast augmentation and rely on your own fat instead of implants.

A new study by Swedish researchers found that the number of fat cells in the human body remains the same since childhood. The study also showed that in adulthood, 10% of fat cells die each year, but are replaced with new ones. This means that fat cells never disappear. Researchers also checked whether the number of fat cells is changed by liposuction. Right now, we know that cells that are removed during cosmetic surgery generally cannot be replaced by the body. Once they are gone, they are gone forever. We hope that these theses will be supported by new studies. We will keep you updated!
