Did Antonia have liposuction? Yes, and she explained why herself

Antonia, a mother of three, wrote about it in an Instagram story in May 2023. Her words were quoted by the Romanian daily Libertatea and by ProFM. Talking about how obsessed and perfectionist she is about training and eating well, she said: “All of that wasn't enough. I went and had liposuction and I'm happy now. I'm fine, but I'm obsessed with details. That's my problem. I think once your body goes through changes after you give birth, you start to feel insecure. I think it's natural.”

Many women recognise the situation Antonia described: the body changes after pregnancy, and some areas stay the same even with regular exercise and a sensible diet. She did not present liposuction as a shortcut. In her own account she first trained and ate carefully, and only when that was not enough did she decide on surgery.

Liposuction removes excess subcutaneous fat from areas such as the abdomen and flanks, thighs, back, arms, chin or knees. Fat cells removed from a treated area do not come back, so with a balanced lifestyle the new contour lasts. Several areas can be treated in one operation. The techniques used at City Medical Centre are:

• Tumescent liposuction — a solution based on saline with lidocaine and adrenaline is injected into the area first. It softens the fat and narrows the vessels, which keeps blood loss to a minimum; the fat is then removed through a thin cannula.

Liposuction suits people with a normal weight and an active lifestyle who still have local fat deposits, uneven fat distribution, or changed contours after childbirth or a sudden weight change.

With local anaesthesia patients usually go home three to four hours after surgery; with general anaesthesia they stay one day in hospital under observation. Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days. The first changes show after three to four weeks, when the swelling goes down, and the final result is assessed at three months, once the skin has fully settled.

City Medical Centre performs tumescent and VASER liposuction for international patients, and patients from Bucharest can start with an online consultation. The first consultation is free: the surgeon assesses the areas, rules out contraindications and names the cost, which is then fixed in the contract. Liposuction starts from $1,200; the final price depends on the number of areas. More details are on the liposuction page.
