As a surgical method, liposuction removes surplus fat beneath the skin in problem areas. Don't treat it as weight loss or as a substitute for diet and exercise: its purpose is targeted contouring, removing saddlebags on the thighs, a drooping belly and fat on the back, flanks, arms or chin.
Liposuction is for people whose particular areas keep fat despite a normal weight and an active lifestyle. The main point: fat cells removed from treated areas don't grow back, so with a stable lifestyle the result lasts a long time.

Free consultation before surgery
Combine several areas in one operation to save recovery time and budget
Abdomen and flanks
Women and men request this area most, and it is often 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 treatment area is first injected with a special solution of saline, lidocaine, adrenaline and several other agents. This loosens the fat and narrows the vessels, so blood loss is minimal and removal is gentle. Next, the fat emulsion is vacuumed out through a thin cannula.
Swelling and bruising after surgery are almost absent, and recovering is much easier than with a conventional procedure.

VASER liposuction (ultrasound)
With this method, ultrasound breaks down fat cells prior to vacuum removal. It is ideal for body contouring and for defining pronounced muscle relief — athletic abs.
It also suits delicate areas.

Surgeon consultation
Your doctor listens to what you want, examines you, assesses fat deposits and rules out contraindications. City Medical Centre also orders a hormonal screening — it helps predict the long-term result.

Pre-operative tests
You will need blood tests (complete count, coagulation panel, biochemistry, HIV, hepatitis, syphilis), an ECG, a chest X-ray and, if necessary, a GP consultation.
All tests can be done at the clinic with no waiting.

Preparation
Stop any medications affecting blood clotting 2 weeks before; stop alcohol and smoking a week before for quicker healing; eat for the last time 8 hours before.

Surgery day
You see the surgeon, who marks the areas, and the compression garments are fitted. Anesthesia can be local or general depending on the scope.
From 1 hour for small areas to 3–4 hours when procedures are combined.

Waking up and monitoring
With local anesthesia you are discharged 3–4 hours after surgery; with general anesthesia you stay one day in hospital under observation.

Recovery
Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days. First results show in 3–4 weeks as swelling goes down. The final result is assessed at 3 months, once the skin has fully tightened.

Tumescent liposuction has a much shorter recovery than a conventional procedure, and most patients return to work in 3–7 days. During the first week, mild swelling and a raised temperature can occur — this is a normal reaction to surgery. You wear compression garments for 30–45 days; they hold the new contours and help tissues recover faster. No bathhouse, sauna, pool or intense sport in the first month. We recommend lymphatic drainage massage, pressotherapy and gradually returning to activity for the best result and faster recovery. Visible changes start in 3–4 weeks, and the final result is seen at 3 months.

Can liposuction be done on several areas in one operation?
Yes, standard practice. Few patients treat just a single area; most combine several problem zones — abdomen and flanks, for example, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, taking into account your health and desired result.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
No. Liposuction won't make you lose weight. Its aim is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape your contours. If your weight is not stable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist beforehand.
Will there be scars after surgery?
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.
How will the skin behave — won't it sag?
Before surgery, skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always assessed by the surgeon. Healthy skin tightens by itself to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.
Is the surgery painful?
No, it doesn't hurt: the procedure is under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery can occur and is relieved with painkillers the doctor prescribes.
What should be avoided after liposuction?
In the first 7 days there should be no physical exertion or heavy lifting. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks, and the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport are avoided. No alcohol or tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon provides all individual recommendations after surgery.
Is there a minimum and a maximum age for liposuction?
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. It removes fat but leaves unchanged the skin structure causing cellulite. Nevertheless, improved body contours visibly lessen its appearance.
How long does recovery take?
Usual routine and work: for most patients, in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising: resolved by weeks 4–5. Final result: formed in 3–6 months, once the tissues fully adapt.
Do I need a diet after surgery, and what if I gain weight?
You won't need a strict diet, but nutrition is important for keeping your result. The removed fat cells do not come back; the remaining ones, though, can grow if weight increases. We recommend balanced eating and regular physical activity for a lasting result.
Do I need to prepare for surgery?
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.
When will the result be visible?
2 weeks after surgery the main swelling subsides and first changes show. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months, and the final contours take shape in 3–6 months.
Liposuction is not only a women's procedure. The abdomen and flanks are the top request for both sexes, and in men the chest is a separate case: the fat component of gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia can be removed surgically. VASER, with ultrasound breakdown of fat, helps define pronounced muscle relief. Men in Zagreb can discuss which technique suits their goals at the consultation.
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 Zagreb.
How much is liposuction in Zagreb? Prices start at $1,200, depending on the zone and the scope of surgery. Treating several areas in one operation often saves both recovery time and budget. The exact cost is confirmed once the surgeon has examined you, and it is then fixed in the contract. Start with a free consultation by sending a request or messaging us.
