Liposuction

Why Won’t It Go Away with Diet?

The distribution of fat cells in our body is largely genetically determined. When we lose weight, fat cells shrink but their number does not change. That is why some people have dense cells in areas such as the hips, flanks or abdomen, and these areas remain disproportionate even after weight loss. Liposuction permanently reduces the number of these cells.

Most Commonly Treated Areas

• Abdomen, flanks and back
• Inner and outer hips, inner thighs, inner knees
• Back of the arms
• Double chin and under the chin
• Chest and waist in men

About Technologies

In addition to the classic suction method, liposuction can use various technologies that dissolve fat with ultrasound energy, stress the tissue less with vibrating cannulas, or provide some skin tightening with heat. However, the main factor that determines the result is not the device but correct patient selection, safe volume limits and the surgeon’s aesthetic eye. The technology used is chosen according to the area and tissue structure.

Safety Limits

There is an upper limit to the amount of fat that can be removed in a single session, determined by the person’s weight and general health. If more is needed, it is safer to divide the procedure into two sessions. The operation should be performed in a fully equipped hospital.
