Liposuction of Problem Areas in Leipzig

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 a way to lose weight. It removes local fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise and reshapes body contours. With an unstable weight, you should first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

Only 3–7 mm punctures are made, usually without stitches. After healing you can barely see the marks, and they fade completely with proper care during recovery.

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

No — you have anesthesia during the procedure (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild post-op discomfort is possible and is managed with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

No physical exertion or lifting heavy things for the first 7 days. Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks and stay away from the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Avoid alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. After surgery your surgeon gives you all individual recommendations.

We carry out the surgery for patients 18+ with no contraindications. An upper age limit does not exist — each case is decided individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. Liposuction removes fat tissue but does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved body contours 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.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, give up smoking, alcohol and any medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are also needed — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. We give you 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.
