Liposuction in Rotterdam: Areas and Price

Yes, it's standard practice. It is rare to treat a single area alone; patients tend to combine problem zones such as abdomen and flanks or inner and outer thighs. Based on your health and desired result, our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation.

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.

The surgeon works through punctures only 3–7 mm across — usually no stitches needed. When they heal, the marks are barely visible, and proper care during recovery makes them fade completely.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always checked by the surgeon before surgery. Good skin tightens on its own and adapts to the new contours. If the tone is reduced or stretch marks are present, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments that improve the skin in advance.

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.

Avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting for the first 7 days. For 4–6 weeks you wear compression garments and skip the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are ruled out for at least a month. The surgeon gives personal recommendations after the operation.

The surgery is for patients aged 18+ without contraindications. As for an upper limit, there is none: we decide individually after an examination and health check.

Not directly. It removes fat tissue without changing the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved contours make cellulite visibly less noticeable.

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, but nutrition does matter for the result to last. Fat cells that were removed don't come back, while the rest can grow with weight gain. We advise a balanced diet and regular physical activity for a lasting result.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medicines that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll get all instructions after your first consultation.

2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides, first changes appear. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed. Final contours form in 3–6 months.
