Liposuction is not a spontaneous procedure — it is a process. From the initial consultation to a stable result usually takes 3–6 months. Dr. Fetai accompanies you through every step: preparation, surgery day, compression phase, lymphatic drainage, follow-up appointments.
30 min with Dr. Fetai. Anatomy, expectations, technique, risks. No sales phase — honest recommendation. Free and non-binding.
Blood values, ECG, history, OP planning with marking. Compression garment measurements. Written informed consent.
Arrival, final markings, anaesthesia. Duration 1-3 h depending on zones. Recovery. Return home possible.
We recommend at least 8 sessions of lymphatic drainage in the first 4 weeks.
6 weeks day & night — from now on only daytime or not at all. Moderate sport possible again.
After 6 months all tissue is healed. The final result is visible — and stays for a lifetime.
Days bed rest after OP

Months to stable result
"After liposuction you see the result immediately."
You see the new contour immediately. Final result after 6 months.
"Lymphatic drainage is optional."
One of the most important investments.
"Compression garment is just marketing."
It's medically decisive.
"Swelling lasts a year."
90% of swelling gone after 4 weeks.
2 weeks before: no aspirin, ibuprofen.
Light: day 10. Medium: week 4.
Standard: Day 1, Day 7, Week 4, Month 3, Month 6.
After 12 months hardly recognisable.
Yes — we recommend the nearby hotel for the first night.
Wound healing is a precisely choreographed biological process.
After OP neutrophils and macrophages clear cell debris. Anti-inflammatories early do harm.
Wound Healing StagesFibroblasts move in. Collagen III is produced. Lymphatic drainage supports.
Proliferation ResearchCollagen III is converted to stable collagen I. Patience in this phase is medically effective.
Collagen Remodeling Studies"The first month is not the result. It's the construction site. What you see after 6 weeks is renovation in progress. What you see after 6 months is the finished house."
"A good procedure is 10% surgery, 90% pre- & aftercare."
