Knee liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical way to remove surplus subcutaneous fat from troublesome areas. It is not meant for weight loss or as an alternative to diet and exercise. Instead, it sculpts specific zones: thigh saddlebags, a sagging belly and fat deposits on the back, flanks, arms or chin.
Liposuction suits people with a normal weight and active lifestyle who still have fat in particular areas. Remember the key point: treated areas don't regrow their removed fat cells, so with steady habits the result lasts a long time.

10 years of liposuction experience

Free consultation before surgery
Several areas can be treated in one operation — this saves recovery time and budget
Abdomen and flanks
Most requested by women and men alike and frequently combined with a tummy tuck
Thighs
(outer and inner)
Fat “traps” that resist exercise
Back and lower back
Back rolls that spoil the silhouette
Arms and shoulders
A cosmetic concern that shows in warm weather
Chin
and neck
Small volume, quick visible result
Knees
A delicate area that needs precise work
Chest
(for men)
Gynecomastia, pseudogynecomastia — the fat component

Tumescent (classic) liposuction
The surgeon starts by injecting a special saline-based solution containing lidocaine, adrenaline and several other agents into the treatment area. It loosens fatty tissue and constricts vessels, which minimises bleeding and allows gentle removal. The fat emulsion is then removed by vacuum through a thin cannula.
Almost no swelling or bruising follows the surgery, and recovery is much lighter than after a conventional procedure.

VASER liposuction (ultrasound)
Fat cells are broken down by ultrasound before vacuum removal. The method is ideal for defining pronounced muscle relief — athletic abs — and for body contouring.
It also suits delicate areas.

Surgeon consultation
Your wishes are heard, then the doctor examines you, assesses fat deposits and rules out contraindications. At City Medical Centre a hormonal screening is ordered too, helping to predict the long-term result.

Pre-operative tests
Tests include blood work (complete count, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infections: HIV, hepatitis, syphilis), ECG and chest X-ray, with a GP consultation if needed.
All tests can be done at the clinic with no waiting.

Preparation
2 weeks before, stop medications that affect blood clotting. A week before, stop alcohol and smoking for faster healing. 8 hours before, the last meal.

Surgery day
Areas are marked, compression garments fitted and you meet the surgeon. Whether anesthesia is local or general depends on the scope.
It takes from 1 hour (small areas) to 3–4 hours (combined procedure).

Waking up and monitoring
After general anesthesia — one day under observation in hospital. After local anesthesia — home 3–4 hours after surgery.

Recovery
You wear compression for 30–45 days. First results come in 3–4 weeks as the swelling fades; the final result is evaluated at 3 months after the skin fully tightens.

Recovery after tumescent liposuction is much shorter than after a conventional procedure. Most patients are back at work within 3–7 days. Mild swelling and a slightly raised temperature are possible in the first week — a normal response to surgery. Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days to fix the new contours and speed up tissue recovery. For the first month, bathhouse, sauna, pool and intense sport are off-limits. For the best result and quicker recovery we recommend lymphatic drainage massage, pressotherapy and a gradual return to activity. First visible changes come in 3–4 weeks, the final result at 3 months.

Before surgery, an endocrinologist rules out hormonal causes of obesity — this hormonal approach improves the long-term result

Modern equipment
We rely on tumescent and VASER techniques and on closed fat-harvesting systems with exact volume control

Minimally invasive approach
3–5 mm micro-incisions, minimal bleeding and post-op marks that are barely noticeable

Combined surgeries
Liposuction can be combined with other procedures, or several areas treated at once

Support until the result
The surgeon stays in touch for the entire recovery. Price fixed by contract, no hidden extras
Interest-free instalments are available. The final price is calculated individually after an examination

Can liposuction be done on several areas in one operation?
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.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
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.
Will there be scars after surgery?
The operation uses punctures just 3–7 mm across that normally need no stitches. Healed marks are barely visible; with proper recovery care they fade fully.
How will the skin behave — won't it sag?
Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always evaluated by the surgeon before surgery. Skin in good shape tightens itself, following the new contours. Where tone is reduced or stretch marks exist, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to get the skin ready in advance.
Is the surgery painful?
No — the procedure is done under anesthesia, local or general depending on the scope. Mild discomfort is possible after surgery and is relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
What should be avoided after liposuction?
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.
What age can liposuction be done from, and is there any upper limit?
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.
Does liposuction help with cellulite?
Not directly: liposuction removes fat but doesn't alter the skin structure causing cellulite. The improved body contours do, however, visibly reduce its appearance.
How long does recovery take?
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.
Do I need a diet after surgery, and what if I gain weight?
A strict diet isn't 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 physical activity.
Do I need to prepare for surgery?
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.
When will the result be visible?
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.
It is worth being clear about what the surgery does not do. Liposuction does not treat obesity and is not a way to lose kilos; if your weight is unstable, a nutritionist or endocrinologist comes first. Nor does it change the skin structure behind cellulite, although smoother contours make it less visible. What it does for people in Sarajevo is remove local fat and reshape the silhouette.
It starts with a surgeon consultation: the doctor listens to your wishes, assesses the fat deposits and rules out contraindications, and a hormonal screening is ordered to predict the long-term result. Patients from Sarajevo then take pre-operative tests — blood count, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infection screening, ECG and chest X-ray — which can all be done at the clinic with no waiting.
The cost is built around your zones: from $1,200 for the most compact area, rising for larger combinations such as the torso or the abdomen with flanks. Nothing is added later, because the contract fixes the price. Sarajevo residents can split payment into interest-free instalments and begin with a free surgeon consultation, booked through the form on the page.
