Liposuction

Liposuction is suitable for both women and men. Hips, thighs and the stomach are the most frequently treated areas. We also have good experience with liposuction procedures including knees, back, arms and even double chin. The final result depends not only on the chosen procedure method, but also on the skin elasticity. Which can depend on your age, hereditary dispositions, smoking, sunbathing and other factors.

On the Internet, you may encounter many new and "proven" liposuction methods which are almost non-invasive (e.g. radio-frequency lipolysis, ultrasound lipolysis, laser assisted liposuction etc.) Their effect is disputable, and they may also embody new and specific risks.

At the Body Clinic, we perform tumescent liposuction. It is a proven, reliable and efficient method. How is it done? Before the fat is sucked out, a liposuction solution is pumped into the treated area. The reason for this, is to enlarge the volume before suction while making the fat cells tense and fragile. Thanks to that, the suction can be performed more evenly and with significantly less bleeding. Do not be afraid. The liposuction solution contains a component which contracts blood vessels and an anaesthetic making it painless.

After the solution is pumped in, a thin liposuction cannula is put into the treated area through a few-millimetre-wide puncture mark. Using negative pressure, the fat is then removed from the body with semi-circular movements of the cannula in the subcutaneous tissue. The current trends are to use smaller cannulas to suck the fat out as evenly as possible, with minimum traumas to the subcutaneous tissue. To give you an idea about the cannula size, the cannulas currently used are only 2-4 mm in diameter.

The effect of liposuction is permanent if you avoid any large weight changes and stick to a healthy lifestyle. When large areas are treated with liposuction, your clothing size may drop by several numbers.
