Patients who opt for liposuction on the legs tend to suffer greatly from their irregular body silhouette. Often the fat pockets on the thighs, knees and calves make the legs look so stocky that they get the feeling that the upper and lower body do not fit together. In addition to this, nothing can be done about these annoying fat pockets by fitness and reduced calorie intake. Fat removal, which is also called liposuction in technical terminology, is usually the only way to correct this imbalance. Liposuction makes the legs slimmer and at the same time shapes them. This creates a smooth and homogeneous transition to the adjacent body regions.

Procedures with tumescent solution, vibration or ultrasound are the possible methods for liposuction on the legs. In the most commonly used tumescent technique, a solution of table salt, anesthetics and other additives is injected into the areas of the legs to be treated. The fatty tissue can be more easily sucked out with a cannula. Minimal incisions are necessary, in order to insert the cannula under the skin, these are often made in hidden places. The patient is under local anaesthesia during the operation or is put into a twilight sleep as desired. It is necessary that the body regions are supported with compression bandages for at least one week after liposuction. This reduces swelling and optimizes healing and shaping. Movement restrictions following the procedure are not to be feared, but the patient should refrain from sports for the next few weeks. Immediately after the liposuction, the ‘new’ slim legs are already visible but there is still a healing period of a few weeks before the final results.
Duration of the operation: approx. 1 to several hours
Length of stay in the clinic: 1 day outpatient
Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia/ general anaesthesia
Follow-up treatment: 6 weeks compression goods
Resumption of social activities: after 1 week
