Liposuction and fat transplantation

Liposuction can be performed under general anaesthetic or with local anaesthetic. With WAL (water-assisted liposuction) technology, it is usually possible to take care of large areas using local anaesthetic.

Liposuction results in small scars. Bruises develop in the treated areas, but these disappear 2–4 weeks later and the swelling goes down within 3–6 weeks. Following the surgery, the patient used supportive textiles that promote the recovery of the skin and minimise swelling. How long the supportive textiles need to be used depends on the extent of the area treated and usually varies from 1–3 weeks.
You can return to work after a few days, or at the most one week. You can gradually start taking part in sports two weeks after the liposuction.

The end result can normally be assessed six months after the procedure.

Using fat transplantation, it is possible to add fat to, for example, the cheek area of the face, which has lost its fullness due to ageing. It is also possible to correct scar cavities and fill out and reshape, for example, the lips. The fat doesn’t just have a filling effect on sunken and creased areas, it also adds stem cells that can contribute to rejuvenating the skin.

Correction surgery on the breasts can also be performed using fat transplantation.
