Liposuction for Patients from Calgary

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 does not serve for weight loss. It removes local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body. If your weight fluctuates, first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

Liposuction is performed through 3–7 mm punctures that usually require no stitches. The healed marks are barely visible and, with proper care during recovery, disappear completely.

The surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery. Skin in good condition tightens on its own and follows the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No. Anesthesia — local or general depending on the scope — is used for the procedure. After surgery you might feel mild discomfort, which is relieved with painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

In the first 7 days there should be no physical exertion or heavy lifting. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks, and the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport are avoided. No alcohol or tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon provides all individual recommendations after surgery.

Surgery is performed for patients 18+ without contraindications. There's no upper age limit: each decision is individual, after an examination and assessment of health.

Not directly. It removes fat but leaves unchanged the skin structure causing cellulite. Nevertheless, improved body contours visibly lessen its appearance.

Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.

You won't need a strict diet, but nutrition is important for keeping your result. The removed fat cells do not come back; the remaining ones, though, can grow if weight increases. We recommend balanced eating and regular physical activity for a lasting result.

Yes. For 7–10 days before liposuction, no smoking, no alcohol and no medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are required too — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You receive all instructions after the first consultation.

First changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months. The final contours form in 3–6 months.
