Liposuction is ideally suited for patients with normal weight, who are active in sports and also pay attention to their diet. Heavily overweight patients are not suitable.
The liposuctioned fat cells do not grow back. The fat also does not migrate to other parts of the body. Just as you gained and lost weight on all parts of the body before the operation, you will do so again after the operation. However, the newly created contours in the suctioned areas are permanent.
The skin and connective tissue mantle recedes after liposuction. The tighter the initial condition, the better the skin regression. The regression can also be accelerated with regard to the suction technique and method used. In individual cases, additional therapies for skin tightening may be necessary for a perfect result. However, this will be discussed during the consultation before the operation
Liposuction is not a method for weight reduction. It creates a new body contour. Of course, after liposuction you will lose some body weight in the medium term after a certain amount of fat has been removed. But this is never the aim of liposuction. It should also be noted that immediately after a liposuction you will always be heavier than before the operation. This results from the fluid stored in the tissue. However, this process then decreases in the first few weeks after the operation.
With our very individual therapy approaches, the costs of a particular treatment can only be indicated after a personal presentation and inspection of the findings in the practice. The costs depend, among other things, on the number of areas treated, the surgical effort and the expected time of the operation. In addition, any anaesthesia costs are also due.
After the initial consultation, you will receive a detailed report of the findings and a binding cost estimate with detailed information on all costs by email. We bill transparently in accordance with the Gebührenordnung für Ärzte (GOÄ). We are not licensed to treat patients with health insurance and therefore only treat self-pay patients and privately insured patients.
Between one and up to four hours.
We are happy to carry out smaller operations under local anaesthesia, but for larger operations an anaesthetist will be present and perform a general anaesthetic. Since we always work directly under the skin and not in the depth of the body, this anesthesia does not have to be very deep. This ensures that you are quickly awake again after the operation and can then go home in company. A treatment in the so-called "twilight sleep" "we do not perform.
Since we follow very individual therapy approaches and also take a lot of time for our patients, you will experience a very personal treatment with us. All our patients are operated exclusively by Mr. Petrus. You will also receive a mobile phone number after the operation, so that you can reach Mr. Petrus personally at any time after the operation.
On average, we suck off between 1000 ml and 3500 ml of pure fat per operation. More than 5,000 ml are very rarely suctioned off in one session for reasons of risk minimisation. If more than 4-5 litres of fat are present, the fat removal should be carried out in several sessions.
After the liposuction you will not see any new dents or irregularities in the skin. Just as the skin appearance is before the operation, it will be the same after the liposuction. The skin and connective tissue recede and then cover the suctioned areas evenly. A tightening/smoothing of the skin does not take place during liposuction.
Liposuction is not a painful procedure. Neither during the procedure nor after the procedure are you in great pain. A moderate muscle ache similar to movement pain will occur.
In the hands of an experienced surgeon and in compliance with the doctor's duty of care, liposuction is not a dangerous procedure for a healthy patient. Possible risks such as the danger of infection or tissue damage etc. will be discussed in detail during the consultation, including clarification of your personal state of health/risk profile.
