Liposuction is for women and men with a very severe problem of localized fat in an area or areas of their body.

It does not apply to cases where the problem can be successfully treated with other methods (cryolipolysis), nor is it a method of slimming.

Laser liposuction are applied to areas of the body where there is an accumulation of localized fat, such as:
• the buttocks,
• the thighs,
• the knees,
• the abdomen,
• the sides of the waist,
• the upper part of the back,
• on and around the chest,
• in cases of gynecomastia in men,
• in areas of the arms.

Laser liposuction does NOT require general anesthesia. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and mild sedation.

However, in very rare cases involving ONLY large-scale pulse liposuction, epidural analgesia may be required.

Depending on the problem and the extent of the areas, the procedure takes between 35 and 55 minutes.

The amount of fat removed during liposuction, depends mainly on:
• The area of the operation
• The extent of the problem
• The physique
• The liposuction technique to be applied
• The person’s age and state of health
In general, the amounts of fat usually removed in a liposuction procedure range from between 1.5 and 4 liters.

One of the great advantages at VF Laser Clinics is that no overnight hospital stay is required.

Laser liposuction in particular is a practically painless procedure, which is performed at the doctor’s office.

The recovery period for both methods is extremely short. A few hours after liposuction you can return to your normal activities, as long as they do not require physical exercise. In very few days, you can engage in moderate physical activity.

The pain sensation is very slight and easily treated with simple painkillers. Minor swelling that may occur in the area is a normal reaction of the body and subsides quickly, within a few days.

The results in both techniques are IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE and PERMANENT. In fact, in the first few months the result improves even more.

Particularly with regard to Laser liposuction, and, if it is applied to an area where there is not only localized fat but also cellulite, this problem is treated at the same time.

Liposuction can be applied to more than 1 area during the same operation, provided that certain medical conditions are met.

These conditions are related to the person’s health, age, extent of the problem, etc. In each case, the surgeon will determine whether this is possible.

The cost of liposuction depends on the anatomical area to be applied, the size of the problem, the amount of fat to be removed, and the technique to be used.

At VF Laser Clinics we treat the problem in a completely personalised way, in order to reduce the costs for the patient as much as possible.

Therefore, costs are determined according to individual needs, and may vary for the same area for different people.

A shapely body can only be achieved through a combination of proper diet and physical exercise.

Liposuction is only indicated for people who accumulate disproportionately stubborn localized fat that cannot be treated with diet and exercise, as well as other non-invasive methods such as cryolipolysis.

Liposuction can certainly contribute to the acquisition of a well-shaped and harmonious body, but it is not a method of weight loss, nor does it eliminate the benefits of exercise and diet, both in appearance and health in general!
