How much does liposuction cost?
The cost of liposuction ranges from €3500 to €6000 and depends on several factors, including the extent of the procedure, the number of areas treated, the type of anesthesia, and the complexity of the process. Smaller areas like the double chin cost less than larger ones like the abdomen or thighs. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will provide an estimate tailored to your needs.
Is the procedure painful?
During the surgery, you won’t feel pain due to the anesthesia. After the procedure, it is normal to feel pain, tenderness, and discomfort for a few days to weeks. The pain is manageable with pain medication and gradually improves.
How long do the results last?
The results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight. Fat cells that are removed do not regenerate. However, if you gain weight, the remaining fat cells can enlarge.
Can it help with cellulite?
Liposuction is not designed to treat cellulite or loose skin. In some cases, it may even worsen the appearance of skin irregularities. If you have cellulite or skin laxity, discuss alternative options with your surgeon.
How many areas can be treated at once?
This depends on the extent of the procedure and your overall health. Many areas can be treated in one session, but your surgeon will consider safety and recovery time.
When can I return to work?
Most people return to work within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the nature of their job. Intense exercise is usually allowed after 4–6 weeks.
