Safety & care

Safety & aftercare

Our safety principles and aftercare, all in one place.

LINE ONSafety & aftercare

Before surgery, we first ask whether it’s right for you

We use the same standards when we examine you and when we check your progress after surgery.

Safety principles

  1. 01We examine you in person before deciding

    We don’t decide from photos or a description alone. When needed, we use ultrasound to check how thick your subcutaneous fat (the fat just under the skin) is before planning.

  2. 02We don’t push too far in one session

    We don’t perform whole-body liposuction in one session. Multiple areas are split into at least two sessions. For fat transfer, too, we calculate and transfer only the amount each area needs.

  3. 03We stop when more won’t help

    If removing more fat wouldn’t make a difference, we stop there. If there isn’t enough fat to transfer, we don’t perform fat transfer.

  4. 04We tell you the limits first

    Before anything else, we explain what is possible and where the limits are. We respect your decision, but we won’t do anything that could harm your body.

Aftercare

After your stitches come out, we still see you at 1, 2 and 3 months

Wearing a compression garment alone won’t improve your result. Stretching the treated area and moving it regularly gives the skin steady stimulation, which helps its elasticity.

    We’ll show you what to do at each stage of recovery.

  2. 02Stitch removal

    Depending on the procedure, stitches are removed on day 7 or day 14.

  3. 03Follow-up visit

    At around 1, 2 and 3 months, we check both the contour and the scars.

Scars

Stitching that also reduces scarring at the entry points

We use SCAR OFF, which protects the entry points where the cannula goes in and out and stitches the inner and outer layers of the skin separately.

After surgery elsewhere

If you didn’t get the contour you hoped for

Some patients come to us after a first surgery or a revision elsewhere. We’re planning corrective care for patients in this situation.
