Liposuction of the hips

Our center performs hip liposuction using PAL® (Power-Assisted Liposuction) technology. For high-definition liposuction procedures or when the fat has a marked fibrous structure, we systematically integrate Vaser® to liquefy it. Renuvion® is sometimes used to promote skin retraction. We are the first in French-speaking Switzerland to offer all three technologies—PAL, Vaser, and Renuvion—and one of only two centers in Switzerland equipped with EVL® technology to optimize lipofilling.

Immediately after the procedure, a compression garment, also known as a panty, is put on and must be worn continuously for three weeks. A three-day course of Ciproxine antibiotics is prescribed. Post-operative pain, often described as cramps, is relieved with Dafalgan and Novalgine. It peaks between the third and fourth day but remains bearable with painkillers. You can shower for the first time after 48 hours. It is essential to maintain a suitable posture, both when sitting and lying down, for the first two weeks, especially if abdominal liposuction has been performed.

After 3 weeks in the case of hip liposuction alone. After 8 weeks if lipofilling has been performed.

Administrative jobs or jobs requiring a seated position can be resumed after 3 to 4 days. However, for activities requiring standing for several hours, it is advisable to wait at least a week before returning to work.

The vast majority of liposuction procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. Patients can therefore return home on the same day, whether under local or general anesthesia.

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

At our clinic, liposuction is performed under local anesthesia, deep sedation, or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is an option for patients with a relatively high pain tolerance. A consultation will allow us to assess your sensitivity and choose the best option. On average, 50% of our procedures are performed under local anesthesia, with the remaining patients opting for stronger methods. If we are only performing liposuction on the hips, we recommend local anesthesia.

Starting at 3’500.- with local anesthesia. For any inquiries, please fill out our form or call us directly. Our commitment: complete price transparency. This amount includes the initial consultation, the procedure, post-operative care, medication, and compression garments. If liposuction is performed on the abdomen, a preliminary ultrasound is required, which is covered by health insurance. An approximate estimate can be provided based on photos, but only an appointment will allow us to determine the exact price. There are no additional costs to anticipate.
