Liposuction
For many, liposuction is the last chance to lose body fat in a problem area, since targeted fat loss through diet is not possible and, thanks to predisposition, occasional pads remain, which are located in places that are unfavorable for us.

Contrary to the common assumption that you can lose fat specifically on body parts, it is not possible to lose weight, for example, on the abdomen if you train it. It is only possible to specifically build up muscles in the trained area. So it may be that despite long diets still remains the so-called problem zone. During liposuction, fat cells are not only minimized, as is common with dieting, they are removed entirely and permanently.
Operation
To release the fat cells from the affected areas of the body, so-called tumescent fluid is introduced into the fatty tissue. Once the fat cells are loosened, they can be suctioned out with cannulas through small incisions in the skin.
After the operation
After the operation, the affected part of the body is protected by a compression girdle, which should be worn for 4 weeks. The first few days after surgery, the affected area may feel somewhat numb and there may be muscle soreness and hematoma from the liposuction. Physical activities should be avoided for 2-7 days depending on the body part and extent of the surgery. The complete result of liposuction is visible after about 3 months
