Liposuction in Stockholm

Summary: Liposuction, also known as liposuction, is an advanced cosmetic procedure that can reshape your body by removing stubborn fat deposits. At our clinic in Stockholm, we offer liposuction performed by a highly qualified female plastic surgeon, Dr. Oya, who has extensive experience in the field. We tailor each treatment to meet your specific needs and goals. It’s important to note that liposuction requires careful planning and preparation. The surgeon and patient discuss and mark areas on the body where fat is to be removed”​​.

A cannula is a long, narrow tube that is the primary tool used during a liposuction operation. It is connected to a vacuum device used to carefully break up and remove unwanted fat cells from the body​​.

Most liposuction procedures are performed under anesthesia to maximize comfort for our patients. During the procedure, Dr. Oya makes a small incision in the skin and inserts the cannula. By gently moving the cannula back and forth, the fat tissue can be broken up and then sucked out through the vacuum device​​.

After the operation, patients can expect a recovery period where they may experience some swelling and bruising. You will likely have swelling and bruising, and it may take several weeks or months to see the full result. To support the healing process and to reduce swelling, patients will need to wear compression garments on the treated areas.

The results from liposuction are usually visible when the swelling subsides, which can take several weeks. Full results are typically seen within a few months. Liposuction can provide a significant improvement in body contour, but it is important to have realistic expectations and understand that the procedure is not a solution for weight loss”​​.

Our highly qualified female plastic surgeon in Stockholm, Dr. Oya, will give you the best possible care and treatment. Dr. Oya takes the time to discuss your cosmetic goals and tailor a treatment plan that suits you. As part of our commitment to patient safety and satisfaction, she will carefully explain all aspects of the operation, including risks, benefits, and the recovery process​​.

Liposuction can slim and reshape specific parts of the body by removing excess fat and improving body contours and proportions. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with other plastic surgical procedures such as a facelift, breast reduction, or abdominoplasty. The best results are achieved if the skin has good elasticity and contracts after the operation. If the skin does not contract properly, there may be excess skin that needs to be surgically removed.

Liposuction can be risky for some patients with medical problems, such as diabetes, heart and lung diseases, or poor blood circulation, or if you have had surgery in the area to be liposuctioned, e.g., abdominal surgery if the stomach is to be liposuctioned​​.

Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for a healthy lifestyle that includes diet and exercise. However, it can remove ‘stubborn’ fat that does not disappear with weight loss or exercise. It is also important to know that liposuction is not an effective treatment for cellulite – the dimpled skin that usually appears on thighs, hips, and buttocks – or loose, sagging skin.

Before deciding to undergo liposuction, it is important to have a realistic understanding of what the operation can achieve. Liposuction is most effective for people who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is not a tool for weight loss and will not change your body type. Additionally, since liposuction removes fat cells, if you gain weight after the operation, it can lead to uneven fat distribution​​.

Good candidates for liposuction are adults within 30% of their ideal weight with firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone. They should be healthy and not have any life-threatening illness or medical condition that can impair healing. Smoking can increase the risk of complications. If you are bothered by excess fat deposits somewhere on the body that do not respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.

During your consultation for liposuction, you will discuss your surgical goals, medical conditions, medications, and previous surgeries. Your liposuction surgeon will evaluate your overall health status and discuss your liposuction options, likely results, and any potential risks or complications. Be sure to ask questions to your plastic surgeon to understand all aspects of the liposuction procedure​​.
