Leg liposuction

Leg liposuction is a specialized surgical procedure designed for precise contouring and shaping of the lower extremities. It is often performed to remove stubborn fat deposits from the thigh area (inner and outer thighs), knees, as well as calves and ankles, where fat is naturally more resistant to diet and exercise. The goal of the procedure is not dramatic weight loss, but rather the removal of excess volume to achieve slimmer, firmer, and more proportionate legs that complement your overall body shape. Our approach ensures that the result is smooth, aesthetically pleasing, and fully aligned with your natural anatomy.

Preoperative and postoperative consultation

Before starting any treatment, a detailed consultation examination is essential. During this appointment, our team of plastic surgeons evaluates your skin elasticity, the distribution of subcutaneous fat tissue in the leg area, and your goals in order to create a personalized surgical plan. Postoperative follow-up is a key part of our relationship with you – through a series of check-ups, we monitor the reduction of swelling, ensure proper skin retraction, and follow the stabilization of the new leg contours. Our care continues until we are certain that the final result fully meets the planned outcome and your expectations.

Preparation for surgery

Proper preparation is the foundation of a successful procedure. At our clinic, the preparation process is designed to be as simple and stress-free as possible. All necessary laboratory tests are performed directly at our clinic shortly before the procedure, saving you time and ensuring complete medical supervision. You will also receive precise instructions regarding behavior, nutrition, and hygiene to help your body be in optimal condition for surgery. Our team is available to answer all your questions so that you can enter the day of surgery feeling relaxed and confident.

Type of anesthesia

Patient safety is our highest priority, which is why leg liposuction is performed exclusively under general anesthesia. This approach ensures that you remain safely and comfortably asleep throughout the entire procedure, regardless of the number of areas of the legs being treated. Anesthesia is administered by our experienced team of anesthesiologists, who monitor vital signs from the moment of induction until awakening, ensuring maximum comfort and minimal side effects, allowing for a smooth and safe start to the postoperative recovery period.

Surgical procedure

The surgical procedure lasts between one and three hours, depending on the extent of the areas being treated on the legs. Our surgeons use specialized cannulas inserted through tiny incisions (only a few millimeters long), which are strategically placed in naturally hidden areas (such as knee folds or the upper thigh area). Through these openings, fat tissue is carefully loosened and removed from the legs using vacuum-assisted technology. The focus is on achieving smooth, natural contours while maintaining harmony with the rest of the body. Due to the minimal size of the incisions, scars are almost unnoticeable after complete healing, while the effect of reshaped legs is visible immediately.

Recovery after surgery

Recovery is a process in which you play an active role. After the procedure, patients stay one night under close supervision of our medical staff. After returning home, the treated areas are protected with a special compression garment (often in the form of leggings), which is worn to help the skin adapt properly to the new contours and reduce swelling. A return to everyday activities is possible after one week, while more intensive exercise is recommended after 4 to 6 weeks. It is completely normal to experience mild discomfort or swelling during the first few days – by following your surgeon’s advice, your journey toward beautifully contoured legs will be smooth and safe.
