Fat Removal Surgery in Sofia

Yes, this is standard practice. A single area on its own is rarely treated — patients more often combine several problem zones, such as the abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons help define the best scope of surgery for your health and the result you want.

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.

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.

Before surgery the surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor. In good condition the skin tightens on its own, following the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No — the procedure is performed under anesthesia, either local or general depending on the scope. Afterwards mild discomfort is possible and is relieved by doctor-prescribed painkillers.

The first 7 days: no exertion and no heavy lifting. 4–6 weeks: compression garments, with no bathhouse, sauna, pool or active sport. At least a month without alcohol or tanning beds. All individual recommendations come from your surgeon after surgery.

We operate from age 18+, if there are no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — after an examination and health assessment, the decision is made individually.

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

Most people resume their routine and work in 7–10 days. Bruising and swelling go by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, when the tissues have adapted fully.

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. 7–10 days before liposuction, give up smoking, alcohol and any medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are also needed — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. We give you all instructions after your 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.
