Comparison
Liposuction techniques
We use two liposuction techniques: tumescent (classic) and VASER (ultrasound). Compare the goal, the indications and the anaesthesia to choose the right technique together with your surgeon.
Tumescent liposuction
A special solution loosens fat for removal through a thin cannula
from $1,200
- Main goal
- Removal of local fat with minimal blood loss
- When it is done
- Abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, arms, chin
- Anaesthesia and stay
- Local or general anaesthesia, home the same day or after 1 day
VASER liposuction
Ultrasound breaks down fat cells before vacuum removal
Price at consultation
- Main goal
- Defined muscle relief and body contouring
- When it is done
- Athletic abs and delicate areas
- Anaesthesia and stay
- Local or general anaesthesia, 1–4 hours of surgery
The benefits and recovery times shown are averaged for each technique and given for guidance: the scope of correction and rehabilitation depend on your anatomy and individual features, and the surgeon confirms them at the consultation.
At the consultation the surgeon draws up a plan for your case and explains how your liposuction will go.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Book a consultationHow it works
From consultation —
to your new contour
An agreed treatment plan, careful monitoring after surgery and post-op check-ups.
1Consultation
and the surgical plan
The surgeon listens to your wishes, assesses the fat deposits and skin tone and rules out contraindications. A hormonal screening is also ordered — it helps predict the long-term result.
2Booking the date
of surgery
We reserve a surgery date for you: the deposit can be paid by card at the clinic or online by bank transfer. The terms are fixed in the contract for medical services
3Check-up before
surgery
Blood tests (complete count, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infections), an ECG, a chest X-ray and, if needed, a GP consultation. All tests can be done at the clinic with no waiting.
4Surgery
Marking the areas and fitting compression garments. Under local or general anaesthesia the surgeon removes fat through 3–5 mm micro-punctures — from 1 hour for small areas to 3–4 hours for a combined procedure.
5Waking up
and monitoring
With local anaesthesia you go home 3–4 hours after surgery; with general anaesthesia you stay one day in a comfortable ward under medical supervision.
6Recovery
Compression garments for 30–45 days. First changes show at 2 weeks, once swelling subsides; the final result forms in 3–6 months. Check-ups at 7 days, 3 and 6 months.
Recovery following liposuction
After tumescent liposuction, recovery is much shorter than after a conventional procedure. Most patients return to work within 7–10 days. In the first week, mild swelling and a raised temperature are possible — a normal response to surgery. Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days: they fix the new contours and speed up tissue recovery. In the first month, bathhouse, sauna, pool and intense sport are off-limits. For the best result and faster recovery we recommend lymphatic drainage massage, pressotherapy and a gradual return to activity. First visible changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides; the final result forms in 3–6 months.
Post-op check-ups
After 7 days, at 3 months and at 6 months. Until the end of the year, get a post-surgery consultation with your surgeon to review results and get more information, at the clinic's expense.
Advantages
Why patients pick City Medical Centre
Just find out — you lose nothing
At the consultation we discuss your wishes and assess the fat deposits and skin tone. Before surgery an endocrinologist rules out hormonal causes of the fat deposits — this improves the long-term result.
We stay with you after surgery
The surgeon follows your recovery and the new body contour at check-ups after 7 days, 3 and 6 months. Check-ups, dressings and aftercare advice are already included in the price of surgery.
A beautiful contour that fits your figure
Tumescent and VASER techniques, micro-incisions of 3–5 mm and precise volume control. Our aim is a smooth contour that keeps the natural proportions of your body.
Your schedule is our priority
We respect your time: we work 24/7, with easy booking and a personal approach — we adapt to your pace.
Fixed prices
After the consultation the surgeon defines the areas and the scope of surgery, and you get a clear price fixed in the contract — no hidden extras.
Round-the-clock care after surgery
With general anaesthesia recovery starts in a comfortable hospital ward under round-the-clock nursing care. The stay and meals are already included in the price.
FAQ
We answer what
people ask before booking
Yes. Lipo is the short name for liposuction: the surgeon removes local fat deposits from chosen areas, such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs. It is not a weight loss method.
Yes, the abdomen and flanks are among the most common areas. Liposuction removes stubborn local fat that does not go with diet and exercise; the surgeon plans the areas with you at the consultation.
Yes, it's routine. Only rarely is one area treated on its own — more often several problem zones are combined, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons will help set the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and the result you are after.
No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. Its purpose is to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.
The surgery is done through punctures only 3–5 mm across — they usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible. With proper care during recovery they fade completely.
Before the operation, the surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor. If the skin is in good condition, it tightens on its own around the new contours. For reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.
No. Anaesthesia — 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.
For the first 7 days — no physical exertion or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid 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.
Patients aged 18+ with no contraindications can have the surgery. There is no upper age limit; we decide individually after an examination and health assessment.
Not directly. Liposuction takes away fat, not the skin structure responsible for cellulite. However, the improved body contours visibly reduce its appearance.
Usual routine and work: for most patients, in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising: resolved by weeks 4–5. Final result: formed in 3–6 months, once the tissues fully adapt.
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 ahead of liposuction you stop smoking, alcohol and blood-clotting medications such as aspirin. You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, an ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and an anesthesiologist. Full instructions come after your first consultation.
First changes appear 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is evaluated at 1.5–2 months; final contours form within 3–6 months.
