Liposuction in Zurich-Seefeld at Aesthetics Medical for a defined silhouette that makes you feel good

For many people, an aesthe­ti­cally defined body is an expression of self-confi­dence, vitality and inner balance. However, despite a healthy diet, exercise and disci­pline, there are often stubborn fat deposits that simply cannot be reduced.

Modern fat removal, medically known as "liposuction", offers a targeted solution here. At our practice in Zurich, we rely on state-of-the-art technology, years of surgical experience and a finely tuned treatment concept. Whether on the abdomen, flanks, thighs or more delicate areas such as the chin or upper arms, our method combines medical precision with an aesthetic sense of natural body proportions.

Safety, long-term effects and natural-looking results are at the heart of our philosophy.

Frequently asked questions about liposuction

At our practice in Zurich, we offer liposuction for all common problem areas, for both women and men. This is not just about removing excess fat, but about aesthetic body contouring tailored to your individual proportions.

Typical areas we treat:

  • Abdomen and lower abdomen

To reduce central fat deposits and achieve a harmo­nious mid-section.

  • Hips (love handles)

For a defined waist and slimmer silhouette.

  • Inner and outer thighs (saddlebags)

Parti­cu­larly common in women, for a more harmo­nious leg line.

  • Buttocks and buttock crease

To emphasise a natural buttock contour or reduce localised fat deposits.

  • Chin and neck area (double chin)

For a clearly defined facial profile.

  • Upper arms

Parti­cu­larly for age- or hormone-related loose fatty tissue.

  • Back and bra area

To combat unsightly fat deposits and smooth the contour under clothing.

  • Knees and calves

For slimmer, more propor­tionate legs.

  • Male breast (gynae­co­mastia)

In combi­nation with breast tissue removal in cases of hormonal or genetic causes.

At our practice, we only perform liposuction multiple times if it is medically advisable and the skin quality and general condition of our patients allow it. We recommend leaving several months between treat­ments to give the tissue suffi­cient time to regenerate.

Depending on the region and body consti­tution of our patients, we remove between two and five litres of fat. In special cases, more is also possible. We always strive to achieve a balance between maximum aesthetic effect and medical safety.

The skin usually retracts on its own, depending on age, skin elasticity and the areas treated. If the skin's ability to retract is limited, we offer additional measures such as skin tightening or device-based treatments.

Yes, in suitable patients, we can process the extracted fat and use it for autologous fat treat­ments, for example for breast augmen­tation, buttock shaping or facial wrinkle treatment.

If treatment is planned in the breast area or if autologous fat trans­plan­tation is to be performed in the breast, we recommend a mammogram in advance. This serves to ensure health safety and to accurately assess the breast tissue.

Even with the utmost care, compli­ca­tions such as haema­tomas, swelling, sensi­tivity disorders or temporary asymmetries may occur. Serious compli­ca­tions such as infec­tions or fat embolisms are rare. Our compre­hensive aftercare effec­tively minimises potential risks.

We work with various proven methods. Tumescent technique, water-assisted liposuction (WAL), vibration-assisted liposuction (PAL) and ultra­sound-assisted liposuction. We select the optimal method for you depending on the body region and tissue.

Before treatment, we discuss the exact procedure, clarify any open questions and provide individual recom­men­da­tions. We advise patients to refrain from nicotine and to pause any blood-thinning medication after consulting with their doctor.

Depending on the extent of the treatment, we offer liposuction under local anaes­thetic, twilight sleep or general anaes­thetic. We will discuss the choice of anaes­thetic with you individually.

After liposuction, it is important to take it easy physi­cally. Sources of heat such as saunas and the sun should be avoided. Wearing the compression garment, drinking plenty of fluids and attending all follow-up appoint­ments will help ensure smooth healing.

Light exercise is possible after just a few days. For intensive sports, we recommend a break of around three to four weeks, depending on the area. We will be happy to discuss your individual return to physical activity in a personal consultation.

The compression garment ensures even healing and reduces swelling. It helps to stabilise the new body shape and improves the aesthetic end result. We recommend wearing it consist­ently for at least four to six weeks.

The results are permanent; once fat cells are removed, they do not grow back. However, a stable lifestyle with a healthy diet and regular exercise is essential for long-term results.

No, the fat that has been removed does not return. However, if you gain a signi­ficant amount of weight, fat reserves may reappear in other areas of the body.
