Liposuction Lausanne

We offer liposuction under local anesthesia, deep sedation or general anesthesia. Good candidates for liposuction under local anaesthetic are those with a moderate to high threshold of resistance to physical pain. During the consultation, we gather the necessary information to assess your pain tolerance. On average, we operate on one out of every two patients under local anaesthetic, and one out of every two under deep sedation or general anaesthetic.

A panthy, also known as a compression girdle, is put in place immediately after the operation. It supports the skin’s adaptation processes and must be worn for three weeks, day and night. Antibiotics must be taken prophylactically for three days. Pain is often cramp-like, appearing a few hours after the operation. They are at their most intense after 3 to 4 days, and generally disappear after 1 week. The first shower can be taken 48 hours after liposuction. It is important to remain in a sitting and lying position for the first 2 weeks.

After liposuction, you should refrain from sport for 3 weeks. If lipofilling is performed, it is preferable to give up sport for 8 weeks.

For office work, it is possible to return to work after 3 to 4 days. Activities requiring standing can be carried out 2 weeks after the operation.

The vast majority of liposuction procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. This means that patients can go home the same day, whether under local or general anaesthetic. If necessary, an overnight stay can be arranged in advance.

The duration of the procedure depends on the number of areas to be treated and the amount of fat to be removed. In general, the procedure lasts between 1 and 3 hours.

The “frequent” and partially avoidable risks after liposuction are irregularities and seromas. The risk of irregularities can be minimized by performing standing post-procedure checks, and making corrections directly if necessary. Seroma is the accumulation of fluid in the tissues under the skin. Sitting or lying down for the first 2 weeks after surgery drastically reduces the risk of seroma. Other risks, such as infection or bleeding, are very rare.

Everything is included in the price, from the consultation to the operation, including post-operative consultations, post-operative medication and panthy. For liposuction of the abdomen, we ask for an ultrasound of the abdomen before the operation. This is usually paid for by the health insurance company. We can give an estimate of the price when we receive photos of the areas to be treated. The final price is only given during a consultation. There are no hidden costs or unpleasant surprises.
