Liposuction

Liposuction at Plastika Praha removes stubborn localized fat deposits — abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, arms, or under the chin — with clear per-area pricing: one area from 36,000 Kč under local anesthesia, two areas from 52,000 Kč, three areas from 69,000 Kč under general anesthesia with overnight hospitalization, and chin liposuction from 28,000 Kč. MUDr. Tomáš Doležal performs every procedure himself at the clinic's Prague 3 facility, sculpting through millimetre incisions with a compression garment guiding the skin's retraction afterward.

Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method: it targets the genetically stubborn fat compartments — lower abdomen, flanks, outer and inner thighs, knees, upper arms, submental (chin) fat — that persist despite normal weight and consistent exercise. Fat cells removed do not regenerate, so the improved proportion is lasting as long as weight stays broadly stable. **Technique:** Through incisions of a few millimetres placed in skin creases, tumescent solution (saline with local anesthetic and adrenaline) is infiltrated to firm the fat, minimize bleeding, and provide anesthesia. Fat is then aspirated with fine cannulas in controlled layers, with the surgeon shaping transitions so the treated zone blends smoothly into surrounding contours — the artistry that distinguishes an experienced operator. Dr. Doležal has performed plastic surgery for more than 25 years across 8,500+ procedures. **Scope and pricing (published list):** - 1 area — from 36,000 Kč, local/tumescent anesthesia, walk-in walk-out (category B) - 2 areas — from 52,000 Kč, general anesthesia with overnight hospitalization (category A) - 3 areas — from 69,000 Kč, general anesthesia with hospitalization (category A) - Chin (submental) — from 28,000 Kč, local anesthesia (category B) An 'area' is one anatomical zone (e.g. lower abdomen, or both outer thighs as agreed at consultation). **Recovery:** A compression garment (900–1,500 Kč) is worn for 4–6 weeks to support skin retraction and control swelling. Bruising settles over 2–3 weeks; desk work is typically possible within days for single-area local procedures and about a week after multi-area surgery; sport resumes from 3–4 weeks. The contour improves progressively as swelling clears — judge the result at 3 months, with final refinement up to 6 months. **Limits and alternatives:** Liposuction does not tighten significantly loose skin — patients with lax abdominal skin after pregnancy or major weight loss are usually better served by abdominoplasty (offered here from 65,000 Kč, or combined abdominoplasty + liposuction from 74,000 Kč). Dr. Doležal advises candidly at the consultation which approach fits your tissue.
