Liposuction - body contouring

Liposuction is an aesthetic surgical procedure that permanently removes localized fat deposits from body areas where diet and exercise are not enough.

It is not a weight-loss method, but a way to reshape the body and improve proportions. Most commonly treated are abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and chin.

Liposuction is ideal for people with relatively stable body weight who want more defined body contours.

At Medical Time in Belgrade, modern technology enables safe fat removal with minimal swelling and a shorter recovery period.

Types of liposuction

1

Classic mechanical liposuction - reliable fat removal using a thin cannula and controlled suction.

2

Ultrasound-assisted Vaser liposuction - uses ultrasound energy to break fat cells and improve precision.

3

Laser liposuction - removes fat while helping skin tightening, ideal for smaller areas.

4

Liposuction with fat transfer - purified fat can be used to naturally enhance buttocks, breasts, or face.

5

Personalized approach - technique is selected according to anatomy, skin elasticity, and desired result.

6

Modern equipment in our hospital supports safety, better contour definition, and faster return to daily life.

How is it performed and what is recovery like?

The procedure is usually done under local or general anesthesia, depending on treated area size and surgeon assessment.

Through tiny, barely visible incisions, a thin cannula is inserted to remove fat evenly and precisely.

The procedure lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Most patients return to light daily activities within 3 to 7 days.

After surgery, compression garments are required for several weeks to support proper healing.

Final results are clearly visible after 2 to 3 months, once swelling fully subsides.
