Liposuction in Ottawa: Areas and Price

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. Weight loss is not what liposuction does: it removes local fat deposits that don't respond to diet and exercise and reshapes body contours. If your weight is unstable, start with a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

The surgery requires punctures of only 3–7 mm, usually without stitches. After healing the marks are barely visible; with the right care during recovery they fade completely.

Before surgery the surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor. In good condition the skin tightens on its own, following 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. It is done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the scope. You may feel mild discomfort afterwards, which painkillers prescribed by the doctor relieve.

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.

From 18+ and without contraindications, we perform the surgery. No upper age limit: the decision is individual and follows an examination and assessment of your health.

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 return to their usual routine and work in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, once the tissues fully adapt.

You don't need a strict diet, but what you eat matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, yet the remaining ones may grow with weight gain. We recommend a balanced diet 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 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.
