Liposculpture

Liposculpture can be performed under either local or general anesthesia. The surgeon first carefully marks the areas to be treated with a washable felt-tip pen.

The fat is removed through a fine tube called a cannula. To insert the cannula, a small incision of 3–4 mm is made, which is first numbed with a fine needle. The fat itself is then numbed using an extra-thin 1.5 mm cannula. This is done gradually to ensure it is well tolerated.

Once the fat is numbed, you will not feel the procedure. The surgeon moves the cannula back and forth in the treatment areas. You may notice this movement, but it is not painful.

If the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, the process is exactly the same, including the fat numbing. This anesthesia keeps the areas numb for approximately 12 hours.

At the end of the procedure, the small incisions are closed with 1–2 fine stitches, and small dressings are applied.

When larger areas are treated, an Argon Plasma treatment may be recommended in consultation with the surgeon to tighten the skin further.

At the end of the procedure, a lipopanty is applied in most cases. This is a special elastic garment that provides even support to the treated areas for an optimal result. The lipopanty should be worn almost continuously for about four weeks, except when washing. The material is easy to wash and dries quickly.

During the first 12 hours, fluid may leak from the small incisions. This fluid is light pink in color and mainly consists of the liquid injected during surgery, mixed with a few milliliters of blood. Sometimes a lot of fluid is released, sometimes only a little, both are normal.

A follow-up visit is scheduled six days after the procedure to remove the stitches.
Once the local anesthesia wears off, the treated areas will feel like significant bruising. Pain relief, such as paracetamol, is usually needed during the first few days, and ibuprofen can be used if necessary. The treated areas are often bruised.

During the first weeks, some swelling is normal. This gradually decreases, in part due to wearing the lipopanty. The final result is assessed at the follow-up visit approximately three months after the procedure.

Serious complications after liposuction are extremely rare. However, it is important to contact the center if the pain significantly increases during the first few days, the treated areas become red and swollen, or if a fever develops.

In the early stages, small irregularities of the skin are normal. If noticeable unevenness remains after complete healing, it is advisable to inform your surgeon. Corrections can be made if necessary.
