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

Tumescent liposuction: abdomen and thighs before and after surgery

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

VASER liposuction: a male patient before and after surgery

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.

How it works

From consultation —
to your new contour

An agreed treatment plan, careful monitoring after surgery and post-op check-ups.

Consultation
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.

Paying the deposit by card at the clinic reception2

Booking 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

A blood sample tube for tests before liposuction3

Check-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.

The surgical team during the operation4

Surgery

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.

Waking 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.

Recovery

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

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.

Liposuction in Rotterdam: from consultation to result

The operation is performed for adults aged 18 and over with no contraindications, and there is no upper age limit: the decision is made individually after an examination. Contraindications include endocrine obesity, decompensated diabetes, blood clotting disorders, cancer, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Anyone from Rotterdam with a chronic condition should discuss it with a clinic doctor first.

Duration depends on scope: from about one hour for a small area to three or four hours for a combined procedure. Anaesthesia is local or general depending on how much is treated. After general anaesthesia you spend one day in hospital under observation; after local anaesthesia you go home three to four hours later. The same approach applies to patients from Rotterdam.

A free consultation is the easiest way to get an exact figure. The surgeon assesses the fat deposits, skin tone and your health, suggests the technique and the scope of surgery, and gives the price; liposuction starts from $1,200 (≈ €1,100). Apply before the end of the year and the consultation is at the clinic's expense. Patients from Rotterdam can apply via the form or any messenger.

Rotterdam in numbers, and how its climate suits compression garments

Rotterdam had 655,468 residents in 2022 and sits in a temperate oceanic climate where temperatures stay in a narrow band most of the year - July averages about 18.2 degrees Celsius, January about 4.0 - with relative humidity near 83 percent on average and cloud cover more common than clear skies.

The clinic's own recovery guidance has compression garments worn for 30-45 days, with first results visible in 3-4 weeks and the final contour settling in by about 3 months. A climate that rarely turns very hot makes wearing a garment under everyday clothing comfortable through nearly all of that stretch, unlike cities where the same weeks fall in genuinely hot, sticky weather.

The bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport stay off-limits for 4-6 weeks either way, which is worth planning around for anyone who swims or uses a sauna regularly - it is easy to forget that a weekly habit needs pausing for that whole stretch.

Alcohol and tanning beds are ruled out for at least a month as well, by the clinic's own guidance. Because Rotterdam rarely sees the kind of sustained heat that drives people toward sunbeds for a quick tan, skipping that habit for a month is a smaller adjustment locally than it might be in a sunnier city where tanning is a bigger part of the usual routine.

Confirming a liposuction surgeon's credentials in Rotterdam

The BIG-register lets a patient search any doctor practising in the Netherlands by name or BIG number, confirming the licence to use a protected title and showing any disciplinary measures on file; the NVPC, representing the country's registered plastic surgeons since 1950, is worth checking alongside it specifically for plastic-surgery standing.

At the consultation, where the clinic's own material compares tumescent and VASER technique, it makes sense to ask which approach suits the areas you want treated and how many areas can safely be combined in one session, since the answer changes both the time under anaesthesia and the recovery that follows.

It is also worth asking directly how many liposuction procedures, specifically using the technique being proposed, the surgeon performs in a typical period, rather than relying on a general figure for the clinic as a whole - tumescent and VASER call for different instruments and a different hand, and experience in one does not automatically transfer to the other.

Insurance and getting back to normal life in Rotterdam

Zorginstituut Nederland sets what the compulsory basisverzekering reimburses, and liposuction chosen for body contouring rather than for a medical diagnosis sits outside that basic package - which is why the clinic fixes a price per area at the free consultation rather than filing an insurance claim on the patient's behalf.

On the employment side, the Netherlands requires well over ten paid sick days a year by law, so an employee in Rotterdam taking the clinic's own suggested 7-10 days off work can fall back on a statutory paid sick-leave entitlement for the time recovery needs - a different starting point than in countries with far thinner sick-leave protection, and one worth mentioning to an employer early rather than explaining it after the fact.

Can a patient in Rotterdam get a first opinion online?

Yes - send a message on Telegram or WhatsApp any time, and the plastic surgeon consultation itself is free with no obligation to book surgery.

Does the season matter for liposuction planning from Rotterdam?

Not much medically, and practically a mild climate that rarely turns very hot makes the 30-45 days of compression garments comfortable to wear under clothing in most seasons.

When can someone from Rotterdam return to work and sport?

By the clinic's own figures: back to work in 7-10 days, with the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport off-limits for 4-6 weeks and compression garments worn for 30-45 days.

How does a patient in Rotterdam confirm the surgeon's registration?

Check the BIG-register by name or BIG number for the underlying medical licence, and the NVPC member list separately for plastic-surgery standing.
