Procedures
Risks and side effects
- The clinic states that general complications such as bleeding, inflammation and infection can occur after surgery and require particular care.
- Scars may remain at the incision sites. The clinic explains that incisions are placed in less visible locations such as the armpit, navel, underwear line and knee crease.
- Bruising and swelling can occur after surgery.
- The clinic notes that liposuction can reduce skin elasticity, and that stretched skin or separated abdominal muscles are not improved by liposuction alone.
- The clinic states that results vary with individual condition and that a suitable method should be confirmed through thorough consultation with the medical team.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
Frequently asked questions
Where are the scars?
According to the clinic, incisions are placed in the armpit or elbow (upper body), the navel or underwear line (abdomen), and the underwear line or knee crease (lower body). Scars may remain at the incision sites, and stitches are removed at a visit about 7 days later.
What is the recovery schedule?
You recover in a hospital room for 1β3 hours after surgery, return 1β2 days later for disinfection and then wear a compression garment. Stitches are removed after about 7 days, and an individual aftercare program runs for 4 weeks. The clinic states that the body shape settles after about 3 months (varies between individuals).
Can as much fat as I want be removed?
The clinic states that a body composition analysis is used first to judge whether surgery is suitable and possible, and that if the desired amount cannot be removed, patients are told so. The suction volume is set according to individual body fat.
Does liposuction work if my skin is loose or my abdomen is stretched after childbirth?
The clinic states that stretched skin and separated abdominal muscles are not improved by liposuction alone, and it suggests combining it with abdominal wall surgery, which tightens loose skin and fascia, or a body lift. The suitable approach is decided in consultation.
