Fat Removal Surgery in Winnipeg

Yes, it's routine. Only rarely is one area treated on its own — more often several problem zones are combined, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons will help set the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and the result you are after.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. It is meant to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

Only 3–7 mm punctures are made, usually without stitches. After healing you can barely see the marks, and they fade completely with proper care during recovery.

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.

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.

During the first 7 days, skip physical exertion and heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Keep away from alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon gives every individual recommendation 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. While liposuction removes fat tissue, it does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Improved body contours still visibly reduce its appearance.

A return to work and the usual routine takes most patients 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5; the final result takes shape in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

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.

Yes. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided after your first consultation.

First changes appear 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is evaluated at 1.5–2 months; final contours form within 3–6 months.
