Liposuction
Your liposuction in Lausanne
Liposuction, also known as liposuction, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, as it effectively targets and removes stubborn fatty deposits.
For many people, despite a balanced diet and regular physical activity, certain areas of the body retain localized fat deposits.
These fat cells can accumulate mainly on the stomach, thighs, hips, saddlebags and buttocks.
By removing fat using fine cannulas, the surgeon helps restore a smoother, more harmonious appearance.
This procedure is performed on various areas of the body, the most common being the abdomen, hips, thighs and chin.
Liposuction is right for you if you’re looking to improve the appearance of your figure without necessarily losing weight.
It’s important to stress that this surgery is not a substitute for weight loss, but rather a method of treating stubborn fatty deposits.
Depending on the extent of the liposuction and the areas to be treated, the procedure can last from 30 minutes to 2.5 hours. The operation is generally performed under local anaesthetic or sedation, but for larger areas, a general anaesthetic may be required.
The operation is performed in our own operating theatre, located in our Lausanne clinic. Equipped with the latest technology, we can ensure the safety and precision of the entire procedure, from anesthesia, through surgery, to post-operative follow-up.
The results of liposuction appear gradually as the body recovers from the procedure, and most patients see a marked improvement in their figure after just a few weeks.
With liposuction cosmetic surgery, you can regain a more harmonious silhouette, while retaining smooth, natural skin.

Liposuction or Coolscultping?
Liposuction and CoolSculpting are both effective methods for eliminating fatty deposits, but they differ in their approach.
Liposuction is an invasive surgery, ideal for patients seeking rapid results and significant fat reduction.
On the other hand CoolSculptingbased on cryolipolysis, is a non-surgical option that targets localized fat using cold. Although results appear more gradually, this method is often preferred by those wishing to avoid surgery and benefit from a treatment with less risk of pain and minimal recovery time.
At Entourage in Lausanne, your surgeon will be able to advise you on the solution best suited to your objectives, your needs and your budget.
If you don’t wish to undergo cosmetic surgery, CoolSculpting is an effective alternative for reshaping your figure without the need for anesthesia.
Liposuction areas
Belly
The tummy is one of the most commonly treated areas. Even with good diet and exercise, fatty deposits can persist.
Liposuction of the abdomen removes these stubborn fat cells, creating a more harmonious silhouette. This procedure is ideal for those wishing to reshape their abdomen without resorting to more invasive techniques such as abdominoplasty.
Hips and love handles
Hips and love handles are areas where fat accumulates easily and is difficult to eliminate.
Liposuction of the hips helps to harmoniously sculpt the contours, giving you a slimmer, better-defined waistline. This is an area that responds particularly well to liposuction.
Thighs and saddlebags
Saddlebags and thighs are other commonly treated areas. In these areas, localized fat can be particularly resistant to physical exercise.
Thigh liposuction reduces this fat, reshaping the thighs and improving the overall balance of the figure.
Arms and back
Although less frequent, liposuction of the back and arms is an effective option for eliminating fatty deposits in these areas, which are often difficult to tone.
Whether it’s to smooth out back fat or slim down the arms, liposuction can help give them a firmer appearance.
Double chin and neck
Eliminate an unsightly double chin and refine the jawline, giving you a sharper, more defined profile.
This procedure is often carried out under local anaesthetic and produces visible results quickly.
Buttocks
Liposuction of the buttocks is performed to reshape this area and harmonize it with the rest of the body.
It’s the effective solution when sport or diet fail to eliminate fatty deposits in the buttocks.

VASER® Liposuction
Ultrasound-assisted technology for contouring
VASER® is an ultrasound-assisted liposuction technology.
Before liposuction, a solution is injected into the treatment area. A thin probe then delivers ultrasonic energy to the fatty tissue to facilitate the breakdown and emulsification of the fat.
The fat prepared in this way can then be aspirated using appropriate cannulas.
This additional step allows the surgeon to approach liposuction as a true process of sculpting volume and contours.
What is the difference between traditional liposuction and VASER liposuction?
Is liposuction right for you?
Despite all your efforts, certain fatty areas persist? Liposuction may be the solution for targeting these areas and reshaping your figure: slimming your stomach, hips, thighs or arms.
This liposuction treatment can be used to treat various parts of the body and even certain areas of the face, such as the double chin.
However, the quality of your skin is one of the crucial factors in achieving good results after surgery.
- In fact, if it is sufficiently elastic, it can naturally retract after the operation to fit the new shape of your body.
- On the other hand, if your skin has lost its elasticity (due to age or weight variations), your surgeon may recommend other treatments to optimize results.
What results can you expect after liposuction?
After the operation, the first effects will already be noticeable, but you won’t instantly see your final silhouette.
It’s a real process in which your body is gradually transformed. In the weeks that follow, you will notice that :
- tissues begin to shrink
- swelling in the operated area is reduced
- the first sculpted contours are gradually revealed
The emotion of rediscovering your body is often overwhelming. Just imagine, a few months after the operation, the pleasure of wearing tight-fitting clothes, or feeling completely at ease in a swimsuit.
Results evolve over a period of six months to a year, and as your body adapts, you’ll feel the benefits of this transformation more and more. Liposuction can truly change your relationship with your body.
Questions and answers about liposuction
Liposuction procedure
Before the operation
An initial consultation with your cosmetic surgeon specializing in liposuction is essential to assess your expectations and ensure that you are a good candidate for treatment.
At the end of this consultation, you will receive a precise estimate for your procedure, based on its duration and the number of areas to be treated.
During the operation
Liposuction, performed by a cosmetic surgeon, involves inserting small hollow cannulas through small incisions in the area to be treated. The cannulas are connected to a suction device that sucks up and removes excess fat in a precise, controlled manner.
Depending on the extent of the procedure, it may be performed under local anaesthetic or sedation.
After the operation
It will be important to wear a girdle to minimize post-operative complications that may arise. The girdle will also stimulate the tissues to cooperate and drain fluids related to the procedure performed.
There may be areas of hematoma and edema in the treated tissue, which will disappear within a few weeks.
To eliminate adhesions and harmonize the aesthetic result of liposuction, your surgeon will certainly suggest a few sessions of LPG Endermologie (mechanized lymphatic drainage).
Deadlines and results
The final result can be appreciated around 3-6 months after the operation.
Recovery times are fairly rapid and depend on the area treated and the amount of fat removed.
