Liposuction for Patients from Karol Bāgh

Yes, this is normal practice. A single area alone is rarely treated: patients more commonly combine problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks, or the inner and outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons will help you settle on the optimal scope of surgery for your health and desired result.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. It is meant to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

The surgeon works through punctures only 3–7 mm across — usually no stitches needed. When they heal, the marks are barely visible, and proper care during recovery makes them fade completely.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always checked by the surgeon before surgery. Good skin tightens on its own and adapts to the new contours. If the tone is reduced or stretch marks are present, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments that improve the skin in advance.

No — the procedure is done under anesthesia, local or general depending on the scope. Mild discomfort is possible after surgery and is relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

No exertion or heavy lifting during the first 7 days. Compression garments for 4–6 weeks, with the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport off the table. For at least a month, alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits. Individual recommendations are given by your surgeon after surgery.

We operate from age 18+, if there are no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — after an examination and health assessment, the decision is made individually.

Not directly. The skin structure that causes cellulite is not changed by liposuction, which removes fat tissue. Yet the improved contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients get back to their usual routine and work in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising clear by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, once the tissues have fully adapted.

A strict diet isn't necessary, though nutrition is important to maintain the result. The fat cells removed won't return, but those left can enlarge if you put on weight. A balanced diet and regular physical activity keep the result lasting.

Yes. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided 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.
