An initial consultation is a very important part of the surgery. The client tells the surgeon the reasons why they decided to undergo the procedure, and the surgeon explains what the client can expect from the surgery, what results are realistic, and advises them on the most suitable procedure for them. During the consultation, the doctor answers all the client’s questions. During the consultation, the doctor also discusses the chosen anesthesia method with the client.

Before each surgery, it is necessary to assess the overall health of each client, whether it is a procedure under local anesthesia, local anesthesia combined with analgosedation, or general anesthesia. Preoperative examination for general anesthesia is performed by an anesthesiologist or internist. For local anesthesia or local anesthesia combined with analgosedation, you may also have your blood sample taken in a laboratory.

The length of the surgery depends on the scope of the procedure – the size and number of areas to be suctioned, as well as on the chosen method of anesthesia. The areas to be treated are marked on the client’s body. The targeted area is filled with a so-called tumescent solution – it helps to break up the fat and minimizes bleeding. A thin VASER probe is inserted into the body, which uses ultrasound waves to target the fat cells. The ultrasound breaks down the fat cells into an emulsion that can be easily suctioned out. Importantly, this technology causes minimal damage to the surrounding structures, making this body contouring method gentler.

The emulsified fat is gently suctioned out with a cannula. The doctor can model the body shape very precisely. In some cases, fat can then be used for lipofilling (e.g., for transferring fat to the face, buttocks, breasts).

After the procedure, the tiny wounds are sutured with a fine stitch, covered with a sterile bandage and a compression garment is put on. For the first 2-3 days, the rest of the liposuction solution mixed with blood will flow out of the skin wounds. The fluid will be light red. The second day after the procedure, the client takes off the compression garment with the bandages and takes a shower. After showering, special surgical tapes are reapplied to the wounds, and the compression garment is put on. The compression garments need to be worn constantly (24 hours a day) for 2-6 weeks, depending on the area from where fat has been suctioned. The first check-up will take place after 10-14 days, when stitches are removed. The last check-up is 3 months after the operation, in order to evaluate the final effect.

No surgery is completely risk-free. However, these risks are minimized by a skilled surgeon, adherence to preoperative instructions, and conscientious postoperative care. The client is informed of the most common risks before surgery.
