Liposuction & Body Contouring

Liposuction and body contouring at Schönheitsklinik Berlin Dr Abtin Alvand using tumescent technique to remove localised fat deposits from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and other areas. Fat cells removed are permanently eliminated. A compression garment is worn post-operatively. Full contour results visible at three to six months once swelling fully resolves.

Schönheitsklinik Berlin Dr Abtin Alvand offers liposuction (Fettabsaugung) as a surgical body contouring procedure to remove localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure uses the tumescent technique — pre-infiltration of a dilute solution of local anaesthetic and adrenaline into the target area — which minimises bleeding, facilitates fat loosening, and provides post-operative analgesia. A thin cannula connected to a vacuum aspiration device is then inserted through small inconspicuous incisions to remove the emulsified fat. Treatable areas include the abdomen and lower abdomen, flanks and love handles, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, calves and ankles, the submental area (double chin), and the chest in male patients with gynecomastia. Body contouring via liposuction is distinct from weight loss surgery: it is indicated for patients at or near their ideal body weight who have localised areas of disproportionate fat that do not respond to lifestyle measures. The fat cells removed are permanently eliminated; long-term results depend on maintaining a stable weight post-operatively. For patients in whom the aspirated fat can be viably preserved, autologous fat transfer (fat grafting) is possible — using the harvested material for volume enhancement in areas such as the breasts or buttocks in the same operative session. Hospital stay is typically ambulatory (day case) for small-to-moderate volumes, with larger multi-area procedures requiring an overnight stay. A medical compression garment is worn continuously for the first two to three weeks and then during daytime for a further three to four weeks. Final contouring results are visible at three to six months as residual swelling fully resolves and the skin retracts. The Berlin clinic provides liposuction for patients from across Germany and from European medical tourists who prioritise German clinical standards.
