Liposuction specifically removes stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise and sculpts the body’s contours. It is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather refines the body’s shape.
The procedure is suitable for patients with a stable weight and elastic skin: The fatty tissue is suctioned out, and the skin must tighten on its own. Where there is already excess skin—for example, after pregnancy or significant weight loss—liposuction alone will not produce a firm result; in such cases, an abdominoplasty or a combination of both procedures may be considered. The amount of fat that can be removed in a single session depends on the patient’s condition and the type of anesthesia used and is determined in advance. The consultation takes place at our practice in Frankfurt, and the procedure is performed in Oberursel.
