A MOOI figure to be proud of.
If you are not happy with the proportions of your body, we can help you with liposuction. Many people suffer from stubborn fat deposits on thighs, buttocks or abdomen. And no matter how much they exercise and diet, that fat just won’t go away. Liposuction, also known as liposculpture, is a good solution to correct this. As you consider liposuction treatment, we’d like to tell you what your options are and what steps you can take. Of course, we will fully inform you during a consultation with the plastic surgeon at our private clinic located in Maastricht.
When 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. In this process, 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 to lose 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:
- double chin and neck
- upper arms
- upper or lower abdomen (or both)
- thighs, fat above the knees
- hips and flanks (back, love handles)
- armpits or pubic area
- breast in men(gynecomastia)
Having your own body fat injected?
Increasingly, people are choosing to use body’s own fat tissue for volume loss in the breasts or face, for example. Through so-called lipofilling, we reinsert removed fat cells from abdomen, legs or hips, for example, into the breasts to increase their volume. Own fat is also regularly used to fill wrinkles or volume loss in the face. With this we 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 will speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in liposculpture and fat removal. From general information about the before and after care, to the details such as where the incisions are made.
We are also taking the photos for your medical records today. After the consultation, you will be up to date on everything about your future treatment: from our honest advice on expected results, 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 are not allowed to drive yourself but have someone take you home.
Aftercare and recovery
If all goes well, you can go home immediately after the check-up. Don’t drive yourself but have yourself brought 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/much and keeping moving. You should also use elastic pants or bandages for 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment to reduce swelling. You won’t see the results for good after 3 to 6 months; so you need some patience.
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 remedied.
Minor blemishes cannot always be avoided; severe blemishes can sometimes be corrected. This may give improvement.
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, disappointment may result. The plastic surgeon will discuss with you the maximum possible result.
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.
Experience of others
Your desire and reasons for having body fat removed is personal. It is very important to us that you feel good about your choices. We also take the time for you to see what suits you best. Other clients who have also had liposuction treatment done through MOOI Clinic may have faced the same choices and doubts as you are now. So be sure to read their experiences through
