Liposuction is one of the most sought-after and common procedures in the field of aesthetic surgery. This procedure enables the reduction and shaping of specific body parts. Effective liposuction removes excess fat deposits from the body, and the results of this procedure are immediately visible.
At Colić Hospital, various liposuction techniques are applied, such as traditional, laser, radiofrequency, and vibro liposuction. Suction-assisted lipoplasty is most commonly used, involving the use of special thin tubes (cannulas) of different shapes and lengths to remove fat deposits. The method is chosen based on the patient's desires and condition, as well as the surgeon's assessment.
At Colić Hospital, you can undergo the following interventions:
Good candidates for this procedure are:
Liposuction is not recommended for patients who are obese, have excessive skin, suffer from chronic or autoimmune diseases, or have blood clotting problems.
During a consultation with the expert team of doctors at Colić Hospital, the patient will discuss all the details of this procedure with their surgeon and express their expectations. Afterward, they will jointly decide whether liposuction is the right choice and a procedure that will bring the desired results to the patient.
Before scheduling liposuction, the patient undergoes a detailed examination and consultations with the surgeon. The doctor is interested in the motives for liposuction, the patient's expectations from the surgery, the patient's medical history, as well as details about regular therapy. After the examination and discussion with the surgeon, the patient undergoes preoperative preparation, including an examination by a cardiologist, an examination by an anesthesiologist, and necessary laboratory analyses.
To prevent the possibility of increased bleeding, it is necessary to stop taking medications and supplements that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, diclofenac, aloe vera, and other herbal mixtures, ten days before the procedure. Additionally, smokers are advised to quit smoking at least a month before the operation to ensure a smoother surgery and recovery.
Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. The operation begins by making small incisions in precisely marked areas to be treated. Excess fat deposits are then suctioned using a special tube - cannula. After removing the fat, the incisions are sutured, and the patient slowly wakes up from anesthesia. The duration of the operation is from 1 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure, the areas, and the amount of fat being removed.
After liposuction, the patient is immobilized to improve blood circulation and prevent potential complications, and they stay overnight with us. We strive to provide exceptional service and make the patient's stay with us as pleasant as possible. In certain cases after liposuction, hematomas may occur, gradually receding and disappearing over 2 to 3 weeks, along with swelling that can last several months. In case of pain, the patient is given pain relievers.
In the first few days and weeks after the operation, intense physical activity, carrying heavy objects, swimming, and sunbathing are not recommended. Most patients return to their daily activities two weeks after the intervention. For at least 2 months after the procedure, the patient needs to wear tight clothing to maintain the obtained contours. When the patient has recovered sufficiently, with proper nutrition and physical activity, the results of liposuction are successfully maintained in the long term.
Liposuction, like other surgeries, may carry certain risks and complications that are rare but important to understand. In addition to the expected occurrence of hematomas, swelling, pain, and temporary hardness in the operated regions, more serious complications include infections, temporary numbness, and unevenness in the skin.
Certain factors such as weight loss or gain, pregnancy, and aging can lead to changes over time in the body parts treated with liposuction. With our team, these complications are extremely rare, but it is essential for patients to strictly adhere to our advice to minimize the possibility of their occurrence.
The cost of liposuction varies depending on the region or regions treated.
