Liposuction: an effective procedure for body contouring of the neck

Liposuction, also known as fat removal by suction, is an established procedure in plastic and aesthetic surgery, specifically developed to remove stubborn fat deposits that persist despite diet and regular exercise. It is a tailored procedure intended not as a method of weight reduction but to optimise body contours and create a more harmonious overall appearance.

Causes

Despite a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise, unwanted fat deposits can develop in certain areas of the body. These problem areas are often genetically determined and do not always respond to traditional weight-loss strategies.

Treatment options

The liposuction procedure: During liposuction, special cannulas are inserted through small, discreet incisions to selectively suction out fat cells. The technique allows precise treatment of specific areas such as the arms, abdomen, flanks and legs, achieving an improved body contour. Modern liposuction is carefully and individually planned to guarantee natural, aesthetically pleasing results.

Skin tightening after liposuction: Newer technologies such as the ARGON plasma beam offer additional options for tightening the skin after liposuction. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy combined with argon gas to stimulate collagen production and effectively firm the skin without leaving visible scars.

Aim of treatment

Liposuction is an effective method of improving body contours and eliminating problem areas that cannot be addressed through conventional weight-loss methods. Combining liposuction with advanced skin-tightening techniques can achieve significant aesthetic improvements for patients. However, it is important to have realistic expectations.

After the procedure

Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated area. However, the remaining cells can increase in volume again if weight is regained. It is therefore important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure to preserve the result in the long term.

Other information

Costs and financing: Liposuction costs start at approximately €3,500 and vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient's individual needs. As it is a cosmetic procedure, the costs are generally not covered by health insurance providers.
