Did Helena Coelho have liposuction? Yes, and she talks about it openly

Coelho, who built her public profile as a digital influencer and once appeared on the cover of Women's Health Portugal, has returned to the subject of her abdominal liposuction more than once.

As a digital influencer, Coelho built her following on sharing her life in detail, and she chose to apply the same openness to cosmetic surgery, including the backlash that followed her magazine cover. Rather than letting speculation fill the gap, she explained her own decision and experience directly to her audience, both on a podcast and in her own video.

Modern liposuction removes localised fat deposits through small incisions, using a thin cannula to break up and suction out fat cells from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms. The two most common approaches are:

• Tumescent liposuction — a fluid mixture is injected into the treatment area first, which reduces bleeding and bruising and makes the fat easier to remove.

Liposuction is for localised fat that does not respond to diet and exercise, in a specific area such as the abdomen, rather than for overall weight loss. Before surgery, the surgeon reviews general health, chronic conditions and medication, and checks contraindications such as pregnancy and breastfeeding, severe cardiovascular disease, blood clotting disorders, cancer and decompensated diabetes.

The procedure itself takes from 1 hour for small areas to 3–4 hours for a combined procedure. With general anaesthesia patients stay one day in hospital under observation; with local anaesthesia, discharge is usually 3–4 hours after surgery.

City Medical Centre performs liposuction for international patients, and the first consultation is free: the surgeon examines the areas of concern, discusses the technique and gives the final price. Prices start from $1,200. The price includes anaesthesia, the chosen level of hospital stay, and follow-up with the operating surgeon. More details are on the liposuction page.
