Liposuction
Liposuction is an aesthetic surgery aimed at the targeted removal of fatty deposits from certain areas of the patient’s body that are difficult or impossible to remove in any other way.
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgery. The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia – for example, liposuction of the second chin, or under anesthesia – if liposuction is applied to large areas. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon inserts miniature metal tubes through small punctures in the skin, which destroy fat cells and remove them with a special vacuum suction device.
Liposuction removes fat traps in different areas, creating a different body contour.
- In case of liposuction of a large area, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The expected length of stay in the clinic is 1-2 days. Rehabilitation period: from 2 weeks to 1 month, depending on the amount of liposuction.
- In the case of liposuction of a small area – for example, the chin – the procedure can be performed without general anesthesia, under local anesthetic. In this case, a stay in the clinic after the operation is not required.
- The operation is performed through several small punctures, which is a less traumatic surgical procedure. In this case, the aesthetic effect is important – the intervention does not leave scars and scars.

- chin, neck;
- abdomen and lower back, buttocks;
