Cosmetic Surgery
Liposuction
Precise body contouring of stubborn problem areas for a harmonious figure.
Targeted fat reduction for your desired figure
Liposuction may be an option for you if, despite a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise, you have stubborn fat deposits in specific body areas that cannot be reduced. The procedure can boost your self-confidence and improve your comfort with your own body. In certain cases, the intervention may also be medically indicated.
The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on fat volume, type of anaesthesia and technique. The surgeon marks the target zones, creates small incisions at inconspicuous locations and applies tumescent liposuction -- a solution is injected that releases fat cells before they are suctioned out via a cannula connected to a vacuum pump.
