Liposuction is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedures in the Netherlands. It is an effective treatment method for improving body contours. Liposuction is particularly suitable for localised fat deposits that do not disappear with diet and regular exercise. The Acura Medical Centre uses modern treatment techniques that can remove fat safely and quickly. This minimises the risk of complications and speeds up your recovery.
A consultation with an experienced specialist takes place before liposuction. During the consultation, the treatment, your expectations and the results to be achieved will be discussed in detail. The doctor will inform you about the treatment techniques and explain possible risks and complications. Your general state of health will be discussed and we will ask you questions about your medical background. Your skin will also be assessed. For a successful treatment, it is important to report any medication you are taking. Based on all this information, we can determine whether liposuction is the most suitable treatment for you.
Before the treatment, photos are taken of the area to be treated and the specialist marks the area with markings. Liposuction is performed under a light anaesthetic. As soon as you have fallen into a light sleep, the doctor begins to make small incisions and injects the anaesthetic fluid. This fluid helps to soften the fat cells. With the help of a small suction needle, the fat is removed from your body. If several areas are to be treated, this treatment step is repeated. Liposuction usually causes hardly any pain. You may feel a slightly uncomfortable, pressurised sensation.
Liposuction is completed by covering the incisions with plasters. To minimise side effects such as swelling and bruising, the wounds are bandaged. Depending on the areas treated, this can be done with elasticated trousers, for example. The treatment time is 1 to 2.5 hours and depends on the size and number of areas to be treated. In rare cases, complex treatments are spread over several treatment days. This is because only a limited amount of anaesthetic fluid can be administered per treatment. The cost of liposuction depends on the number of areas to be treated. If you would like to know more about the procedure and the results of liposuction, you can find out more in specialised forums on the Testimonials of other patients.
After the procedure, you can recover in the clinic and have a drink. You can go home the same day to continue your recovery in your familiar surroundings. It is recommended that you do not drive home yourself, but have someone pick you up.
As soon as the anaesthetic wears off, pain may occur. For this you can take painkillers such as Paracetamol take.
Wound fluid may continue to leak from the treatment wounds for a few days. This is no cause for concern. Bruising and swelling may also occur. Bandages will be applied to minimise this. It is strongly recommended that you wear compression garments to ensure the success of the treatment. This promotes regeneration and ensures better reattachment of the upper skin layers to the muscle tissue. The swelling usually disappears within 4 weeks.
It is important to keep moving and drink enough in the days and weeks following the procedure. The combination of exercise and drinking stimulates the lymphatic system so that waste products can be disposed of efficiently. This will help you to recover.
Liposuction is a safe cosmetic procedure in which complications and side effects occur in rare cases. As with any surgical procedure, complications such as bleeding, infection, allergic reactions, thrombosis and poor wound healing can occur.
In exceptional cases, moisture may accumulate in the treated areas. This usually disappears by itself. Small amounts of residual fat may remain and sometimes the result is not completely symmetrical. This can be corrected with a small post-treatment.
You can reduce the risk of side effects yourself. It is recommended that you stop smoking in good time before the procedure. Smoking increases the likelihood of infection in the first few weeks after the operation.
Immediately after liposuction, there is hardly any noticeable difference. However, this changes in the days following the treatment. The recovery time depends on the number of areas treated. In addition, each body recovers in its own way. On average, the final result is visible three to six months after the treatment.
The improved body contours can be retained for life. If you had realistic expectations before the treatment, you will be satisfied after the procedure. During the consultation, the attending physician will discuss the expected results with you. The results that can be achieved will depend on your age, your general health, the elasticity of your skin and your muscle structure, among other things.
We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about liposuction for you here. You will find short and concise answers to all questions.
Small incisions (approx. 4 mm) are made during liposuction. In order to soften fatty tissue, a liquid is injected into the surgical area together with a local anaesthetic. Once the liquid has been absorbed, the fatty tissue is completely dissolved using the sound waves of the Vaser method. In the next step, the fatty tissue is removed using small suction needles. The sound waves of the Vaser sculpture, also known as Vaser Lipo, ensure that excess fat is broken down. As subcutaneous heat is also released, the skin contracts better. This creates an optimal result.
Whether you are suitable for liposuction depends on various factors. Do you have small fat deposits or a lot of excess fat? Liposuction is suitable for both cases. Unlike cryolipolysis treatment, which is only suitable for small fat deposits.
Almost everyone has unwanted fat deposits. However, the extent to which someone suffers from this varies. The storage capacity of excess fat also varies from person to person. Fat usually results from a combination of bad sugars in fats and too little physical activity. Many people find it difficult to lose those last little pockets of fat. These usually do not disappear despite a healthy diet and sufficient exercise. In this case, liposuction is a suitable treatment.
Progress can be seen immediately after treatment. Small swellings may still occur, but these disappear quickly and the final result is visible within a very short time.
The result of the treatment depends on several factors. The extent to which each person's body responds to the treatment also varies. The number of treatments also has an influence on the final result. First and foremost, it is important that you consult an experienced and competent doctor who has the necessary equipment. If this is done, it is possible to lose centimetres of fat through liposuction. Before the treatment, the doctor should inform you about what you can expect from the final result.

The treatment is usually carried out under general anaesthetic.
After the procedure, the treated area will be sensitive for a few days. You will be prescribed painkillers for this.
The procedure is usually performed under anaesthesia. Depending on the amount of fatty tissue to be removed and the area, the procedure can also be performed under local anaesthetic. This will be discussed with the attending physician during the consultation.
It is important that you take it easy for the first few weeks after the procedure. However, it is beneficial to move around slightly in the days following the procedure. Movement promotes blood circulation and therefore the healing of your body. After about 6 weeks, you can resume heavier work.
Very small wounds will occur during the procedure. However, these are so minimal that they will hardly be recognisable after the operation.
After about 2 months, the final result is as good as achieved. However, there may still be swelling in the tissue. The optimum result is achieved after 6 months.
The cost of the treatment depends on the zone you wish to have treated and the number of zones. The cost increases with the number of zones to be treated. The costs start at €995.
Liposuction makes it possible to remove a large amount of fatty tissue. The extent to which you will be as slim as before depends on a number of other factors. Please contact your doctor to discuss your options.

Your skin needs time to recover from liposuction. You should relax for the first two weeks after the procedure. After this rest period, you can resume your sporting activities. Intensive sports involving a lot of physical contact should only be resumed after consultation with your doctor.
The removed fat does not return elsewhere. In principle, the results of liposuction are permanent.

For a good result, it is important to have reached the target weight before the treatment and to maintain it after the procedure. Regular exercise and a varied, responsible diet can help with this.
Most swelling disappears after about two months. However, it is not uncommon for the swelling to persist for up to six months. The final result is therefore only fully achieved after six months to a year.
