Liposuction
A thinner figure thanks to a professional liposuction

Perfect results through our sequential, functional-aesthetic liposuction technique

We live in an affluent society characterised by a mostly sedentary and time-consuming way of life. Both of these factors make it difficult to exercise regularly and to eat a balanced, healthy diet that is low in supplements. All this can lead to gaining weight and fat at places where you dislike them most and where even regular exercise can’t help.
Liposuction is the most frequently performed plastic surgery worldwide.
The biggest advantage is that typical problem areas can be targeted by liposuction, improving both the aesthetics and function of the area.

For whom is liposuction useful?

  • Overweight patients for whom neither dietary changes nor sports activity have been successful (lipedema patients) and thus an increased health risk exists or is imminent
  • Non-overweight patients with diet-resistant fat deposits.

Sequentielle funktional-ästhetische liposuktion

General information

Men and women have different predispositions to develop fat deposits on the body. While excess fat deposits in women are mainly on the hips, buttocks and legs, men are mainly affected at the abdominal area.
When healthy nutrition and exercise do not lead to the desired result or fail because of diet-resistant fat pads, sequential liposuction, performed by Dr. Papageorgiou as a standard procedure, is the most effective and gentle surgical method to permanently get rid of those unloved fat pads.

Liposuction of the thighs, abdomen and other areas improves aesthetics as well as mobility or range of motion of the individual body regions.
Sequential functional-aesthetic liposuction therefore serves both the health of the body, because disproportionate fatty tissue is permanently removed, and the body aesthetics.

Depending on the region, findings and extent, skin tightening may be required at the same time.

In addition to functional-aesthetic liposuction, we also offer purely aesthetic liposuction and athletic modulation.

Liposculpting

Liposculpting is a liposuction technique designed to remove, reshape and contour fat to a more desirable general aesthetic body perception. It also improves the definition of muscles. This liposuction technique is used especially for patients with a small amount of excess fat and defined problem areas.

360° liposuction

The name 360° liposuction refers to the areas of the body for which liposuction is planned and performed. More specifically, it refers to liposuction of the anterior and posterior torso. Optimal liposuction of the back and flanks can only be achieved with the patient in the prone position, so an intraoperative repositioning of the patient is required.

Liposuction from a nutritional point of view

Human fatty tissue is distributed 80 percent subcutaneously (under the skin and over the muscles) and 20 percent visceral (under the abdominal muscles in the abdominal cavity and around the organs). Human fatty tissue always increases in quantity when there is a nutritional overload of liver function.
The subcutaneous abdominal fat plays a decisive role in appetite regulation: even in a saturated state, for example shortly after a sufficient meal, it gives the body the signal to eat again in the form of continued appetite.

Because of this property, the subcutaneous fat tissue of the abdominal region is also called “determinant fat cells” among nutritionists. These fat cells play a decisive role in determining appetite.

In this way, a kind of cycle (cyclus vitiosus) can develop that leads to obesity:

Overloaded liver function = fat cell increase = increased appetite =
increased food intake = overloaded liver function

Liposuction in the form of the removal of the “determinant fat cells” in the abdominal region, can significantly improve appetite regulation and thus counteract renewed weight gain.

"The result – my "new", pleasantly flat stomach – is exactly as Dr Papageorgiou predicted: I am absolutely happy with the result, the skin has settled well thanks to the six weeks in the very tight compression garment (which was less fun), and my body continues to be in the right proportions, so much so that all my friends ask me about my new diet or personal trainer, who managed to achieve such an amazing job. I'm looking forward to spending the summer in a bikini again, especially as the incisions from the surgery are no longer noticeable."
