Liposuction for Patients from Duisburg

Yes, this is standard practice. A single area on its own is rarely treated — patients more often combine several problem zones, such as the abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons help define the best scope of surgery for your health and the result you want.

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.

Punctures of only 3–7 mm are used, and they usually don't need stitches. After healing the marks are hardly visible; with good aftercare during recovery they fade completely.

Before surgery the surgeon always evaluates the skin's tone, elasticity and turgor. Good-quality skin tightens by itself to match the new contours. If tone is reduced or you have stretch marks, our specialists will advise preparatory treatments to improve the skin ahead of time.

No, it doesn't hurt: the procedure is under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery can occur and is relieved with painkillers the doctor prescribes.

For the first 7 days, no physical exertion or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks, wear compression garments and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits for at least a month. Your surgeon gives all individual recommendations after surgery.

We perform it for patients 18+ who have no contraindications. No upper age limit exists — the decision is individual, following an examination and health assessment.

Not directly: liposuction removes fat but doesn't alter the skin structure causing cellulite. The improved body contours do, however, visibly reduce its appearance.

After 7–10 days most patients are back to work and their usual routine. By weeks 4–5 swelling and bruising resolve. Once the tissues have fully adapted, in 3–6 months, the final result forms.

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.

The first changes can be seen 2 weeks after surgery, after the main swelling subsides. Interim result — at 1.5–2 months. Final contours — in 3–6 months.
