Luckily here at Amavi Aesthetic Surgery we have a solution. Whether you’re struggling with stubborn fat deposits resistent to diet and regular exercise or looking for a more defined body, liposuction can be a life-changing solution. 

In this blog we address the essentials of liposuction, giving you an overview of the procedure, benefits, recovery, and frequently asked questions. Let’s dive in.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body. It is versatile and can be performed on most areas of the body. Some popular areas that are treated with liposuction include the abdomen, love handles, back, thighs, upper arms, and under the chin.  The main goal of liposuction is to contour and enhance the shape of specific body areas.

Different liposuction techniques

Benefits of liposuction

  • Targeted fat reduction

  • Improved body contouring

  • Long-lasting results

  • Boost in self-confidence

Am I a good candidate for liposuction?

You are a good candidate for liposuction if you are close to your ideal weight but have localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. You should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have good skin elasticity.

Recovery and results

At Amavi Aesthetic Surgery, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of our patients. Post-procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Pain medication is prescribed to alleviate discomfort, and a compression garment will need to be worn to ensure optimal results. You should refrain from strenuous exercise for several weeks. Dr. Aline Rau will provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure a swift and smooth recovery.

The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. Nevertheless, maintaining the results requires a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. Significant weight gain after liposuction can affect the results.
