AESTEA
Liposuction of the hips
Liposuction can be used to sculpt the figure in the hip area, where fat and the fat cells that collect it may have accumulated genetically or due to the lifestyle.
Lipedematous adipose tissue may be present on the hips, and therefore both aesthetic as well as lipedema liposuction, or even maxiliposuction, may be considered.

Liposuction of the hips
The course of the procedure
Liposuction, especially large-volume liposuction, is not an easy operation and its preparation, procedure and follow-up care must be approached with the utmost responsibility and professionalism.
How the examination is carried out
We can usually recommend surgery on the basis of the clear photographs you send us, along with other information, especially your height and weight, but also information about your health. The final decision on the extent and location will of course only be made in a personal consultation with your surgeon prior to surgery.
What is the preparation before the procedure
In preparation for surgery, it is necessary to:
- discontinue all medication causing increased bleeding
- consider, in order to reduce the risk of embolism, discontinuing contraception three weeks before the procedure
- maintain a 2-3 week interval since the last infectious disease
- not smoke – in order to improve healing before and after the procedure
- not drink or eat anything 6 hours before the procedure
- not underestimate cleansing and hygiene on the day of surgery, and not wear make-up
Performance of the procedure
Liposuction is performed under general anesthesia. aestea uses the so-called super-wet technique, in which the same fluid is used for infiltration as in the tumescent technique, only in smaller quantities. The amount of fluid infiltrated is approximately the same as the amount of fat suctioned during the operation.
Small incisions of about 4 – 5 mm in length are made in suitable and later difficult to recognise places to allow the cannulas to enter. The cannula is first used to inject fluid into the tissue and then, with regular movements, the released fat is suctioned under vacuum into special containers. The operated areas are compressed with compression linen at the end of the procedure.
Just after the operation
Anti-nausea drugs are administered as a precaution during the operation, pain killers are applied immediately after the operation, unpleasant cold feeling is overcome by intensive warming with special hot air heating and warm pillows.
What is the postoperative care
Liposuction is a significant and extensive procedure and the post-operative follow-up and care corresponds to this. We strive for maximum comfort of our clients. Experienced nurses monitor the overall condition and are supportive in managing the discomfort of the post-operative period.
The operation is usually followed by a one-day stay at the clinic.
You should expect subsequent pain, which is relieved by analgesics, and nausea.
In the first two weeks after the procedure, it is necessary to limit physical exertion.
Each client leaves our clinic fully informed and familiar with all possible and expected symptoms of the postoperative condition. If in doubt, the client is free to contact the surgeon at any time.
We recommend taking a 1-2 week holiday. You can return to work after 7-14 days and to more or less normal life after 2-3 weeks.

Before and after the procedure
Photographs of the operated areas taken before and after the procedure perfectly illustrate its optical effect. However, for many procedures, we should not forget about their health effects, such as increased mobility, pain reduction, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
You ask, we answer
What technique do you use for liposuction?
There are several techniques of liposuction. At the aestea clinic we use the so-called super-wet technique. In this technique, the affected area is first infiltrated with fluid and then the fluid is suctioned out together with the fat. The amount of fluid infiltrated is approximately the same as the amount of fat suctioned during the operation.
Is there a weight limit for surgery?
We often operate on patients who weigh over 100 kg, the maximum possible weight for surgery is 120 kg.
Does surgery guarantee complete elimination of the disease?
Removal of unwanted adipose tissue leads in most cases to pain reduction, improved mobility and overall life satisfaction. However, the removal of all fat, whether lipedema or otherwise, cannot be guaranteed. Similarly, liposuction can by no means be said to be the absolute and exclusive cure for lipedema.
Is it possible to operate on the upper and lower limbs at the same time?
For a number of reasons, we do not recommend liposuction of the upper and lower limbs in one operation.
When can I go back to work after surgery?
It depends on the extent of the operation, how many litres are suctioned, but also on the individual sensitivity and resistance of the patient. We recommend taking a leave of 1-2 weeks. After 2-3 weeks it is usually possible to return to normal life.
