Liposuction

Liposuction by MUDr. Petros Christodoulou at Medicom Clinic, Prague 1, covering areas from the chin and abdomen to thighs, calves and arms. The surgeon uses modern fat-harvesting technique (including the Body-Jet water-assisted system used for his fat-transfer work) to remove diet-resistant fat deposits and sculpt smooth, natural contours. Every liposuction package includes a session of LPG machine lymphatic drainage to support smooth healing, alongside anaesthesia, pre-operative examination, compression garment and transport home.

Liposuction remains the definitive treatment for localised fat deposits that persist despite a stable, healthy weight — the genetically stubborn zones such as the outer and inner thighs, lower abdomen, flanks, upper arms, calves and the area under the chin. It is a contouring operation, not a weight-loss method, and patient selection plus surgical technique determine the quality of the result. **Technique:** fat is infiltrated with tumescent solution and removed through small, concealed incisions using fine cannulas. MUDr. Christodoulou also operates the Body-Jet water-assisted system (used in his breast and buttock fat-transfer procedures), a gentle harvesting method that preserves fat-cell viability and treats tissue atraumatically. Uniform, layered suction with attention to the transition zones is what separates a smooth surgical result from visible irregularity. **Areas and pricing:** single smaller areas (submental/chin, mons pubis) from 27,200 Kč; thighs, calves and arms from 40,100 Kč; multiple areas are quoted individually at consultation. Every package includes one LPG (machine lymphatic drainage) session post-operatively — an inclusion unusual among Czech providers — which supports lymphatic flow, reduces swelling and improves skin smoothness during healing. **Recovery:** a compression garment (included) is worn for 4–6 weeks. Most patients return to desk work within days for small areas and about a week for larger ones. Swelling resolves progressively; the definitive contour is judged at 3–6 months. **Realistic expectations:** the best candidates have good skin elasticity; where skin laxity dominates (e.g. post-pregnancy abdomen), the surgeon will recommend excisional procedures such as abdominoplasty instead — an honest assessment made at consultation.
