Aesthetic Liposuction – for a Harmonious Body Silhouette

Aesthetic liposuction is a targeted form of body contouring designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that often do not respond to diet or exercise alone. It is not about dramatic transformation, but rather about achieving a naturally balanced and harmonious shape.

Common areas include the abdomen, waist, flanks, thighs, upper arms, or chin. With precise and gentle techniques, contours can be smoothed, transitions refined, and proportions balanced—supporting a more positive body image and greater confidence in everyday life.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”—and sometimes, in the mirror.

We take the time to explore what feels right and beautiful for you personally, and we bring your goals to life with medical expertise, aesthetic sensitivity, and a realistic approach.

 

 

Abdomen and Waist – Defined Midsection

The abdomen is one of the most common areas where stubborn fat deposits accumulate—even in people with a slim figure and active lifestyle. Hormonal influences, genetic predisposition, or pregnancy can all contribute to uneven fat distribution or persistent fat retention in the abdominal region, despite regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Aesthetic liposuction can help define the waistline, sculpt the midsection, and create a more harmonious overall silhouette—without exaggerated or artificial-looking results.

 

What abdominal liposuction can achieve:

  • Reduction of fat deposits in the lower or entire abdominal area
  • Shaping of a soft, natural waist contour
  • Improvement in body lines in cases of “love handles” or hormonally influenced belly fat

In selected cases, skin tightening using BodyTite® can be performed in addition to liposuction—without large incisions, yet with a visible firming effect, provided the skin retains sufficient elasticity.

Important: Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss. It is designed to improve body shape, not reduce weight—making it most suitable for individuals with a normal or slightly elevated BMI.

After the procedure, you will wear a compression garment for 8 to 10 weeks to minimise swelling and support optimal healing. The result develops gradually, with the final outcome becoming visible after 6 to 12 months.

 

 

Upper Arms – Defined Contours, New Confidence

Upper Arm Liposuction
Fat accumulation in the upper arms is a sensitive issue for many women. Even with an otherwise slim physique, soft, sometimes sagging fat deposits can develop in this area—often resistant to both exercise and diet. Especially during the summer months or when wearing sleeveless clothing, many women find this both bothersome and limiting.

Aesthetic liposuction can help to significantly slim the arm contour, define the transition to the shoulder, and achieve a lighter, firmer overall appearance.

What upper arm liposuction can achieve:

  • Reduction of fat deposits in the upper arm area (“bat wings”)
  • Harmonisation of proportions between the arms and upper body
  • Improvement in skin tone and texture when combined with BodyTite® treatment
  • Increased comfort in movement and greater confidence wearing form-fitting clothing

In many cases, the combination of liposuction and radiofrequency skin tightening (BodyTite®) can make surgical skin excision unnecessary—provided that the skin has sufficient elasticity.

As with other areas, results develop gradually, with the final outcome usually visible after 6 to 12 months. Following the procedure, you will wear a special compression garment (off-the-shelf) to support healing and encourage even results.

 

 

Thighs – Gentle Contouring for Naturally Beautiful Legs

The thighs are among the most common areas where localized fat deposits appear—typically around the hips (“saddlebags”), inner thighs, or knees. These fat deposits are often genetically determined and are barely affected by exercise or a healthy diet. They can cause the legs to appear disproportionate, lead to friction during daily activities, and limit clothing choices.

Aesthetic liposuction of the thighs aims to reduce contour-altering fat deposits, shape the thighs harmoniously, and balance the proportions between the upper and lower body.

 

What thigh liposuction can achieve:

  • Reduction of saddlebags and fat deposits on the inner thighs and knees
  • Improvement of leg lines and overall silhouette
  • Reduction of friction during daily activities (e.g. walking, sports, or sitting)
  • Firmer, more defined transitions to the buttocks, hips, and knees

In combination with BodyTite®, additional skin tightening without incisions can be achieved—especially beneficial for the inner thighs if skin quality permits.

After the procedure, you will wear a suitable compression stocking or garment to support healing. While the final result usually appears after around 6 to 12 months, noticeable improvements are often visible within just a few weeks.

 

 

Chin – Clear Contours for a Fresh Profile

A soft or protruding chin, often referred to as a “double chin,” can significantly affect the facial profile—regardless of weight or age. The cause is usually genetically determined fat deposits that persist stubbornly even in otherwise slender individuals.

Targeted liposuction of the chin and neck area can help define the jawline, refine the facial profile, and create an overall fresher, clearer appearance—without looking artificial or “operated on.”

 

What chin liposuction can achieve:

  • Reduction of the double chin and a more defined chin line
  • Smoother transition between the chin, neck, and lower jaw
  • Natural, fresh profile without visible scars

In combination with FaceTite®, additional visible skin tightening can be achieved without surgical incisions.

After the procedure, a compression bandage is worn around the chin area, usually for 5–7 days. Swelling and bruising typically subside quickly. The final result becomes apparent after approximately 6 to 12 months, though noticeable improvements are often seen within a few weeks.

Especially for the face, less is more—the goal is always a natural, harmonious result that suits you perfectly.
