How do you feel after liposuction?

Operating lights

After liposuction, most people feel fine. There may be some soreness in the treated area, but it is very rare to feel any immediate pain. It can be likened to a more severe training pain. Some bruising is to be expected. Liposuction is an operation in which fine incisions are made under the skin. The incisions are discreet and often not visible, but it is even better with a girdle and massage of the area.

Liposuction – liposculpture

Liposuction is an option for those who are healthy and want to shape or sculpt their body by removing local fat deposits.

It should be noted that liposuction is not a weight loss method. If you have a lot of excess weight, you should change your lifestyle in other ways - by changing your diet or becoming more active. Liposuction removes fat cells from the body, but it does not guarantee that they will not return after liposuction.

Områden på kroppen som ofta svarar bra på fettsugning är:

  • Ben – både lår och vader
  • Mage
  • Hips
  • Chin

How liposuction works

At Conturkliniken®, liposuction is performed using a combination of local and general anaesthesia and takes between 1-3 hours. By making thin incisions in the skin, a saline solution is injected to burst the fat cells and a cannula is inserted to extract the fat. Depending on the extent of the procedure, you may need to stay overnight. You often need to consider limiting your physical activity for the first few days.

After liposuction, compression garments are often worn around the clock for the first week, then another 4 weeks during the day.
