Fat Removal Surgery in Amsterdam

Yes — combining is standard practice. Single-area treatment is rare; patients usually combine several problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks or the inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will work out the optimal scope of surgery with you at the consultation, based on your health and goals.

No. Liposuction is not for losing weight. Its purpose is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape the contours of the body. If your weight keeps changing, first consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

It is done through tiny punctures of 3–7 mm, which usually need no stitches. Once they heal, the marks are barely noticeable, and proper care in recovery lets them fade completely.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always evaluated by the surgeon before surgery. Skin in good shape tightens itself, following the new contours. Where tone is reduced or stretch marks exist, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to get the skin ready in advance.

No — the procedure is performed under anesthesia, either local or general depending on the scope. Afterwards mild discomfort is possible and is relieved by doctor-prescribed painkillers.

During the first 7 days, skip physical exertion and heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Keep away from alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon gives every individual recommendation after surgery.

The surgery is for patients aged 18+ without contraindications. As for an upper limit, there is none: we decide individually after an examination and health check.

Not directly. Liposuction removes fat tissue but doesn't change the skin structure behind cellulite. Even so, better body contours visibly reduce how it looks.

Most people resume their routine and work in 7–10 days. Bruising and swelling go by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, when the tissues have adapted fully.

A strict diet isn't required, but nutrition matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't come back, but the remaining ones can grow if you gain weight. For a lasting result we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll receive all instructions after your first consultation.

You'll see the first changes 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is judged at 1.5–2 months; the final contours take 3–6 months to form.
