Why liposculpture or liposuction?

Liposuction, also called liposculpture, is a good solution to remove stubborn fat deposits on thighs, buttocks, abdomen or other parts of the body. We remove subcutaneous fat tissue, restoring balance to the body contours. The results are permanent if you maintain your weight. Liposuction is not an alternative to dieting or losing weight.

Where is the fat removed?

Liposuction can be applied to many parts of the body. The most common problem areas are the abdomen and legs. We also regularly remove fat cells around the:

Having your own body fat transfered / injected?

Increasingly, people are choosing to use their own body’s fat tissue for volume loss in the breasts or face, for example. Through so-called lipofilling, we reinsert removed fat cells from, for example, the abdomen, legs or hips into the breasts to increase their volume. A person’s own fat is also regularly used to fill wrinkles or address volume loss in the face. With this procedure, you can achieve beautiful and, above all, natural results.

The consultation from A to Z

You come to MOOI Clinic in Maastricht to discuss your liposuction treatment. Write down your wishes and questions in advance so you can ask them at the consultation. During the consultation, you’ll speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in liposculpture and fat removal about everything from general information to the before and after care, and details like where the incisions are made.

We also take the photos for your medical records today. After the consultation, you’ll be up to date on everything about your future treatment: from our honest advice on expected results, to risks, recovery and costs. We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum.

An initial consultation involves a €50 consultation fee, which will be deducted from the treatment price.

The operation

We carefully mark out where the fat will be removed and where the incisions will be made. The fat cells are aspirated through a fine suction needle that makes small zigzag movements under the skin. The treatment usually takes place under general anesthesia and the duration depends on the area, it can range from 1 to 3 hours.

The incisions are so small that no noticeable scars remain. They are taped with band-aids or very fine sutures. If all goes well, you can go home immediately after the check-up. You’re not allowed to drive yourself so make sure that you arrange to have someone else take you home safely.

Aftercare and recovery

If all goes well, you can go home immediately after the check-up. Don’t drive yourself but arrange to have someone else bring you home safely.

For the first few days, the treated areas are sensitive and swollen. The swelling usually disappears within four weeks. We recommend drinking plenty of fluids and continuing to move. You should also use compression pants or bandages for 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment to reduce swelling. You won’t see the results for good until after 3 to 6 months; so you need to have some patience.

MY MOOI KLINIEK

Always well informed

At MOOI Clinic we think it is important that you have easy and safe access to information about your treatment. We would like to keep you informed via your own MOOI account. This way you are always well prepared. You will only receive messages that are relevant to you, before, during and after the treatment.

Risks

As with any procedure, there is a small chance of bleeding, infection or impaired wound healing with liposuction. Usually this is not serious and is easily treated.

Minor scars cannot always be avoided; severe scars can sometimes be corrected or improved.

We only treat people with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or less.

An important condition is that the skin is sufficiently elastic. Because liposuction does not tighten the skin.

If your expectations are realistic, a satisfactory or even very satisfactory result will occur in most cases. If your expectations are too optimistic, you may be disappointment. The plastic surgeon will discuss with you the ideal results.

QUIT SMOKING

We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum. Smoking not only makes you less MOOI on the outside, but also on the inside. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, skin shedding or respiratory problems with general anesthesia.
