Sculpt your body and reduce stubborn localised fat with modern, safe techniques.
What it is – What it offers
Liposuction is an effective surgical method aimed at removing stubborn localised fat from specific areas of the body. It is not a weight-loss method; rather, the purpose of the procedure is to reduce fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, contributing to symmetry and harmony of the body — for both women and men. To achieve a result tailored to each patient, two advanced and safe techniques are applied: P.A.L. (Power Assisted) liposuction and High Definition liposuction.
What we correct
The procedure targets the harmonious reshaping of the body's contour, tailored to the needs of each patient. It offers meaningful benefits in the following cases:
Beauty by Design
Liposuction removes stubborn, localised fat that resists diet and exercise, revealing your body's natural proportions.
Application zones
The treatment can be applied individually or in combination across multiple points of the body:
Preparation before surgery
Patient safety is a key priority. At the initial consultation, Dr. Athanasios Pallantzas assesses skin elasticity and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat, establishing the plan and the areas to be sculpted. Preparation for surgery includes a full pre-operative assessment, a recommendation to stop smoking and adjustment of any medication (if required). On the day of surgery, the patient must be fasting.
Technique
The 2 liposuction methods
Dr. Pallantzas carries out a detailed mapping of the areas to be treated with the patient in a standing position. This stage is critical, as the "topographic maps" of the fat are recorded as they are influenced by gravity, supporting symmetry throughout the surgery. General or local anaesthesia then follows, depending on the extent and volume of fat to be removed.
Incisions: The surgeon creates minimal incisions that rarely exceed 3 mm.
Fat Removal: Using a specialised device that moves the cannula in a rapid oscillating motion, the fat cells are isolated and removed with precision. P.A.L. technology aims for reduced tissue trauma, fewer bruises and less swelling.
Combination of Technologies: This method combines the oscillating cannula (P.A.L.) with the use of specialised technologies such as radiofrequency.
Incisions: The cannulas are even finer, meaning the incisions are very discreet — approximately 1 mm.
Body Sculpting: Although the procedure is more time-intensive, it allows the plastic surgeon to sculpt the body with greater naturalness, uncovering and accentuating the muscles of the treated area.
Procedure profile
After Surgery
The patient will need to wear a specialised elastic compression garment (girdle) over the treated area for approximately 6 weeks.
Oedema (swelling), ecchymosis (bruising) and mild localised numbness are expected occurrences that subside gradually over the following weeks.
For limited areas, return to office work is immediate (within 1–2 days). For more extensive procedures, 3 to 5 days of rest may be required.
Specialised post-operative massage (e.g. lymphatic drainage) is recommended after the first two weeks, to accelerate the reduction of swelling and support a smooth result.
Results
Representative liposuction results. Each outcome is individualised based on anatomy, degree of fat accumulation and patient wishes.
FAQ
Results are usually long-lasting, provided that a balanced diet and regular exercise are maintained. Localised fat is not expected to return to the treated area, although weight gain can affect the result.
Liposuction is not measured in kilograms but in volume loss. The difference is visual and becomes evident in centimetres, clothing sizes and the overall harmony of the silhouette.
Skin behaviour depends directly on its pre-operative elasticity. In younger patients with good elasticity, the skin has the natural ability to contract and adapt to the new, slimmer contour. In cases where mild laxity already exists, Dr. Pallantzas applies the High Definition (HD) Liposuction technique, in which the use of thermal energy (radiofrequency) stimulates collagen production, achieving simultaneous skin tightening. If the laxity is very significant, liposuction is strategically combined with skin-removal procedures such as abdominoplasty or thigh lift.
We assess your elasticity, fat distribution and proportions — and design an individualised sculpting plan.
Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. Suitability for any treatment is determined by the doctor after a personal consultation.
