Liposuction in Poznan: Recovery and Results

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 does not serve for weight loss. It removes local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body. If your weight fluctuates, first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

Punctures only 3–7 mm across are all that is needed, usually with no stitches. The marks are barely visible after healing and 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 — anesthesia is used (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery is possible; the doctor prescribes painkillers to relieve it.

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

In 7–10 days most patients return to work and their normal routine. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5, and the final result forms in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

No strict diet is 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 exercise.

Yes. Give up smoking, alcohol and medications that affect clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations — are also required. You'll receive all instructions after the first consultation.

Changes start to show 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling has gone. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed, and in 3–6 months the final contours form.
