FAQ
Liposuction must be performed in an authorized healthcare facility, by a specialized surgeon and qualified staff. It is essential to operate in certified environments, with adequate anesthesia and constant monitoring throughout the procedure. In my experience, I operate exclusively in facilities authorized by the Lombardy Region, ensuring high safety standards.
The cost of liposuction varies depending on the areas treated, the technique used, and the complexity of the procedure. Factors such as anesthesia, operating room, and post-operative follow-up are included. On average, liposuction can cost between €4.000 and €8.000. In my experience, each procedure must be customized, including the cost, and I am always wary of standard prices.
It depends on the extent of the procedure and the areas being treated. Smaller areas can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, while larger procedures require general anesthesia. In my experience, the choice is always made based on the patient's safety and comfort.
Recovery for daily activities generally ranges from 7 to 21 days. Swelling gradually decreases, and the final result stabilizes within a few months. In my experience, it's important to explain that the results aren't immediate and take time to fully develop.
It depends on the type of work performed. Sedentary activities can be resumed more quickly, while physically demanding jobs require more time. In my experience, I always plan the procedure considering the patient's work needs.
No, if done correctly, the scars are very subtle. The incisions are millimeters thick and placed in inconspicuous areas. In my experience, a well-performed liposuction procedure shouldn't leave visible scars over time.
It's generally more annoying than painful. Postoperative discomfort can be managed with common analgesics and often manifests as a feeling of soreness. In my experience, patients rarely report severe pain.
A specialist consultation is necessary to determine whether liposuction is appropriate. Factors such as skin elasticity, fat distribution, body weight, and the patient's expectations are considered. In my experience, not everyone is an ideal candidate, and knowing how to communicate this is part of professional integrity.
