Liposuction in Oldenburg – Water-Jet Assisted (WAL) Technique


What is liposuction?

Liposuction – the surgical removal of fat – is a procedure in which fat cells are suctioned out of problem areas in a targeted manner. At our practice clinic in Oldenburg we specialise in liposuction across the entire body, in particular in 360° liposuction including minimally invasive plasma tightening. To loosen the fat cells within their structure we first introduce a solution: it provides local anaesthesia and at the same time makes tissue-friendly suction easier. Typical zones are saddlebags, an abdominal apron, hips, abdomen, upper arms, knees and the double chin.

When is liposuction used and what may I expect?

Not all fat deposits are equally accessible to the metabolism – we see this in our consultations time and again. Even the best diet then changes nothing about a stubborn zone. This is exactly where suctioning fatty tissue helps. In pathological fat distribution disorders such as lipoedema, liposuction is the decisive treatment as well: pathologically altered fat cells can be removed in a targeted way.

Liposuction is often a partial step used to smooth so-called border zones during body contouring operations – for example an abdominoplasty – and to define the contour more clearly. Depending on the indication, the harvested fat can be transferred to other parts of the body, for example for breast augmentation with autologous fat.

What you may realistically expect: a noticeably slimmer, more harmonious contour of the treated zone. The final result becomes visible once the swelling has subsided – usually after about three to six months.

Can I lose weight with liposuction?

No – and we say that openly to every patient. Liposuction does not change excess weight and, above all, it does not treat the accompanying conditions of obesity. The interplay of a diet and the targeted suction of fat deposits certainly delivers the best results. If the skin slackens after liposuction, for example on the legs or arms, the liposuction can be combined with a minimally invasive or surgical lift.

What alternatives to liposuction are there?

Cryolipolysis destroys fat cells with intense cold, which the body then breaks down through an inflammatory reaction. The fat-dissolving injection attempts to break down fat with bile acids, likewise with subsequent breakdown through inflammation. In my opinion both methods are clearly inferior to liposuction: with liposuction I can define and address the areas precisely and, through special techniques, additionally achieve a tightening of the tissue.

Is liposuction dangerous?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure with the usual risks. Specific risks are the very rare fat embolism as well as dents, grooves or asymmetries. Depending on the indication we use very fine suction cannulas in order to achieve the most even result possible. Liposuction needs to be planned and carried out extremely well – that is how we keep the risks low and your safety high. Technically we work with the Bodyjet (WAL) and argon plasma, both state of the art.

How does liposuction work at our practice clinic?

After the preliminary consultation with advice, detailed information about risks and an examination, we plan the operation together. Our aim is to respond to your wishes as well as possible before the procedure, to mark the suction zones and to document them.

On the day of the operation, which we carry out in our own rooms in Oldenburg, you are scheduled in such a way that long waiting times are avoided. I will then go through what we discussed with you once more and repeat the markings. Depending on whether you are operated on under general or local anaesthesia, our nursing and anaesthesia team will look after you. After the procedure we can discharge you on an outpatient basis or monitor you as an inpatient – that is already agreed at the preliminary consultation. Your medical history and the volume of fat removed influence this decision.

Which technique do we use?

There are different techniques of liposuction. We use the well-established and tissue-friendly water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) with one of the most modern devices available on the market. A fan-shaped water jet gently releases the fat cells from the tissue while blood vessels and nerves are spared. Using the criss-cross technique – that is, from several directions – the fat is removed evenly, which prevents dents.

Advantages, disadvantages and risks of liposuction

The absolute advantage is the targeted suction of fat cells from problem areas; unlike the fat-dissolving injection, it allows a far more precise approach. Liposuction does not entail any relevant disadvantages. With good planning in specialist hands the risks are low. Bruising and the leakage of tumescent solution from the small wounds for up to 2 days after surgery are possible and normal.

What should be considered after liposuction?

foto-fettabsaugung

  • Liposuction can be carried out under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia.
  • Wearing compression garments for 6 weeks is often necessary in order to support a good result.
  • The small access incisions heal after about 14 days; no stitches need to be removed when resorbable suture material is used.
  • Showering is possible from the 2nd day after the operation, and you are usually socially presentable after 4 days.
  • Sport is possible after wound healing, depending on how you feel, after about 14 days.
  • We discuss the aftercare concept with you in detail before every procedure; check-ups take place after 2 and 6 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I lose weight with liposuction?

No. Liposuction shapes the body, it does not replace weight loss and it does not treat the accompanying conditions of obesity. It works best on fat deposits that remain despite diet and exercise – such as saddlebags, an abdominal apron or a double chin. A diet combined with targeted suction gives the best result.

Which anaesthesia is usual for liposuction?

We treat smaller zones under tumescent local anaesthesia, and larger zones or several zones under general anaesthesia. Which form suits you is decided at the preliminary consultation on the basis of your medical history and the planned volume.

Do I have to stay at the clinic after liposuction?

Usually not – the procedure is mostly performed on an outpatient basis. If larger volumes are removed or certain pre-existing conditions apply, we can monitor you overnight at our practice clinic. That is agreed with you in advance.

How long do I have to wear compression garments?

Usually 6 weeks. The compression helps the skin to settle and supports an even result. You can shower from the 2nd day after the operation.

When can I face other people again and do sport?

You are usually socially presentable after about 4 days. The small access incisions heal in around 14 days; depending on how you feel, sport is possible again after about 2 weeks. No stitches need to be removed when dissolvable suture material is used.

Is liposuction dangerous?

It is a surgical procedure with the usual risks such as bruising, infection or thrombosis. Specific, rare risks are dents, grooves, asymmetries and the very rare fat embolism. Careful planning, fine cannulas and the tissue-friendly WAL technique keep the risks low.

What does liposuction cost in Oldenburg?

The cost depends on the number and size of the zones, the form of anaesthesia and a possible combination with a lift. After the first consultation you receive a binding cost estimate. In the case of lipoedema, liposuction can be covered by statutory health insurance under certain conditions.

Can the removed fat be reused?

Yes. Depending on the indication, the harvested autologous fat can be transferred elsewhere, for example for breast augmentation with autologous fat or to restore volume in the face.
