I had liposuction on my abdomen. I removed three litres of fat.
What did Dimitris Ougarezos say about his liposuction?
The Greek news outlet dnews.gr reported his words in June 2023: “I had liposuction on my abdomen. I removed three litres of fat.” He explained that the area had bothered him since childhood and stayed the same regardless of how much weight he lost, so for years he wore a corset to hide it before deciding to deal with it surgically.

WhatsAppThat is the whole of what we rely on here. Ougarezos did not name a clinic, a doctor or the exact technique used, so this article does not guess at them. Where the text below explains methods and recovery, it describes liposuction in general, not his treatment.
Why his openness matters
Men talk about body-contouring procedures far less often than women do, and a stubborn fat deposit that does not respond to diet or exercise is a common, ordinary problem rather than a personal failure. Ougarezos described exactly that kind of area, one that stayed the same “no matter how much weight” he lost.

Liposuction does not treat obesity or replace weight loss; it targets fat that is resistant to diet and training in a specific spot. Nothing here judges anyone's appearance; the point is how the decision was made and why it is a medical procedure, not a cosmetic shortcut.

How liposuction is done today
Modern liposuction removes fat through a handful of tiny incisions, using a thin cannula to break up and suction out fat cells. At City Medical Centre the tumescent technique is used: a solution is injected into the treated area first, which reduces bleeding and bruising and makes the fat easier to remove with minimal trauma. Several areas can be treated in the same operation, which saves recovery time overall.
Abdomen and flanks
- Typical concern
- The most requested area for both men and women
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $2,400
Flanks / waist only
- Typical concern
- “Love handles” that resist training
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $1,400
Thighs (outer or inner)
- Typical concern
- Fat that stays despite exercise
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $1,200
Torso (front wall, sides, lower back)
- Typical concern
- Larger combined area, often with a tummy tuck
- Price at City Medical Centre
- $3,600
Which area and technique fit a given case is decided by the surgeon at the consultation, not from a celebrity story.
Who is a candidate and how to prepare
Liposuction suits people at a stable, normal weight whose specific areas — abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, arms, chin or knees — hold on to fat despite a healthy lifestyle. It is not a substitute for diet and exercise and not a treatment for obesity.
- Tell the surgeon your full medical history and any medicines you take, so the plan is realistic and safe.
- Keep your weight stable before the consultation; large weight swings change which areas are suitable.
- Check contraindications with the doctor: severe cardiovascular or clotting disorders, acute infections, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and uncontrolled chronic disease.
What recovery looks like
Because fat cells removed from a treated area do not grow back, the result is stable with a steady lifestyle afterwards. The first days involve a compression garment and reduced activity; swelling and bruising are a normal part of healing and fade over the following weeks, with the treated contour becoming clearer as swelling settles.
How recovery after liposuction usually goes
- Day of surgeryThe treated area is injected with tumescent solution; fat is removed through small incisions; most patients go home the same or next day.
- Days 1–7A compression garment is worn; swelling and bruising appear — a normal part of healing.
- Weeks 2–4Swelling fades gradually and the new contour becomes more visible.
- About 1–3 monthsMost of the swelling is gone and the result is close to final.
- Up to 6 monthsSkin settles fully and the final contour is assessed.
