Liposuction in Palermo: Areas and Price

Yes, it's standard practice. Treating a single area alone is rare — patients more often combine several problem zones, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and desired result.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method; it targets local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body's contours. First see a nutritionist or endocrinologist if your weight is unstable.

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.

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. Anesthesia — 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.

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 deals with fat tissue, not with the skin structure behind cellulite. Still, better body contours make it visibly less apparent.

A return to work and the usual routine takes most patients 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5; the final result takes shape in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet is not required; still, nutrition matters if you want to keep the result. Removed fat cells never return, but remaining ones can expand when you gain weight. A balanced diet and regular physical activity are our recommendation for lasting results.

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.

The first changes show at 2 weeks after surgery, with the main swelling down. An interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months, and the final contours are formed in 3–6 months.
