Liposuction

Liposuction (Body Contouring / Fat Removal) is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits from various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or chin, that are resistant to diet and exercise. It helps reshape and contour the body, creating a slimmer, more proportionate appearance. At Silur Clinic in Tirana, Albania, our surgeons perform liposuction with precision to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Techniques

At Silur Clinic, liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the area and extent of treatment. The procedure usually lasts between 1–3 hours. Small, discreet incisions are made in the treatment area, through which a thin cannula removes excess fat. Techniques may include:

• Traditional Liposuction – manual removal of fat with a cannula.

• Vaser Liposuction – ultrasound-assisted fat removal for smoother contouring and less tissue trauma.

• Combination – liposuction with skin tightening or other body contouring procedures for enhanced results.

Care After Liposuction Surgery

Recovery is typically smooth. Mild swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness may occur in the treated areas. Patients are usually advised to wear a compression garment for 1–4 weeks to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients return to daily activities within 3–5 days, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3–6 weeks. As swelling decreases, the treated areas gradually reveal a slimmer, more contoured appearance. At Silur Clinic, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and continuous follow-up to ensure safe recovery and long-lasting results.
