Liposuction (also called Lipoplasty) is a body shaping procedure. Liposuction treatment abroad involves removing excess of fat tissue which slims, reshapes and improves body contours. The best candidates for the procedure are healthy women who have a firm and elastic skin but their body has disproportionate contours because of wrong located fat tissue. The procedure is performed in general anaesthesia. In case of some small amounts of fat tissue and body area it can be performed under local anaesthesia but it happens very rarely.

Liposuction treatment abroad involves small incisions, infusion of a special liquid and then inserting so called cannula to loosen excess fat tissue and finally suck out the fat. After the surgery a patient should stay for at least 1 night in the clinic under medical care. For the first few days majority of patients are significantly swollen and have bruises, feel stiff and sore. The surgery itself is complete without any pain but just after the procedure for first few days’ patients will feel some pain and discomfort which can be controlled by medication. Elastic garment should be worn during first 6 weeks nonstop. In a private clinic abroad a patient will get instructions how to treat the body after liposuction treatment.

In majority of cases a noticeable difference in the shape of patient’s body is visible quite soon after surgery. However, improvement after liposuction treatment abroad will become even more apparent after about four to six weeks, when most of the swelling has subsided. It is hard to estimate how long any persistent mild swelling will subside, in some cases it is 3 months, in some other even 6 months. It all depends on individual predispositions of a patient. After 3-6 months the final result is visible.
