The number of treatments depends on the type, diameter, depth and number of vessels, their location and the individual skin reaction. Small lesions may close after one session, while larger or deeper vessels often require several treatments. Subsequent sessions are planned after the skin has healed, usually at intervals of several weeks.

The procedure usually does not require anesthesia. During the pulse, you may feel a brief burning, stinging or a sensation similar to the snap of a stretched rubber band. Contact cooling reduces discomfort and protects the surface of the skin.

Most patients return to everyday activities very quickly. Immediately after the procedure, the skin may be red and slightly swollen, and the symptoms usually subside within a few days. Makeup should not be applied for the first 24 hours. Intense exertion, saunas, hot baths and other factors that overheat the skin should be limited until the post-treatment reaction calms down

Liposuction is performed under intravenous or general anesthesia, so the patient should not feel pain during the procedure. After the procedure, temporary pain, swelling and bruising may occur. If necessary, pain relief is used as recommended by the doctor.

The first change in body contour is usually visible relatively quickly, but the result should not be assessed too early because of swelling. A more reliable assessment is possible after a few weeks, when the tissues gradually heal and the swelling decreases.

The results of liposuction can be long-lasting, especially if a stable body weight is maintained. The procedure removes some of the fat cells from the selected area, but it does not protect against fat tissue increasing again with significant weight gain. That is why healthy habits, physical activity and a stable weight are important after the procedure.

Swelling, bruising and tenderness are typical after the procedure. Hematomas, temporary sensory disturbances, contour irregularities or asymmetry are also possible. Rarer but significant complications include seroma, infection and thromboembolic complications. Worrying or rapidly worsening symptoms should be discussed with a doctor.

Liposuction is planned as a procedure that contours a specific area and does not require routine repetition. A possible further procedure may be considered only if, after full healing, there are indications for it and the doctor considers it safe.

Many people return to everyday activities after about 1-2 weeks. A return to greater exertion and training usually takes place gradually, often after about 4-6 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the course of healing. Driving should be resumed only when the patient moves freely, is not taking medications that impair the ability to drive and has received the approval of the attending doctor.

Compression garments help limit swelling and support healing of the operated area. How long they should be worn depends on the extent of the procedure and the individual course of recovery, so they should be worn exactly as long as the surgeon recommends during post-operative check-ups.

Liposuction can cover various areas of the body, depending on the indications and qualification. At the Dr Szczyt Clinic, the procedure is performed, among others, on the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, knees, calves, arms and armpits. One of the most frequently chosen areas is the abdomen, where the goal is primarily to contour the shape and accentuate the waist, not to reduce body weight.

The best way to choose the right treatment at a plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic is to start with a consultation with a specialist. During the visit, the doctor will conduct a detailed medical interview, familiarize themselves with the patient's expectations, and assess their health and the specific nature of the aesthetic problem. Based on this information, they will advise on which treatments will be appropriate to achieve the desired results. The consultation also allows you to discuss the available options, their potential effects, and any possible risks, which makes it easier to make an informed decision.

Every plastic surgery procedure, like any medical intervention, involves certain risks. The most common complications include infections, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia, and scarring. Less common complications include blood clots, pulmonary embolism, and sensory disturbances in the operated area. Proper preparation of the patient, careful qualification for the procedure, and the experience and professionalism of the medical team significantly minimize these risks. It is also important to follow the doctor's recommendations in the postoperative period, which allows for a faster and safer recovery.

Aesthetic medicine treatments are usually minimally invasive and involve minimal discomfort. Most of them, such as injections or laser therapy, are performed using local anesthetics, which significantly reduces discomfort. Patients may experience slight pricking, burning, or tightness of the skin, but these symptoms usually disappear quickly after the procedure. If necessary, the doctor will always select appropriate pain relief methods to ensure maximum comfort for patients.
