Liposculpture - Liposuction
Liposculpture at the Wellness Kliniek in Belgium
The Liposculpture team at the Wellness Kliniek is made up of experienced plastic surgeons led by the famous doctor Dr. Paul Hanssen.
Dr. Hanssen is an expert in hair restoration and liposcultpture. He has performed more than 9000 liposculpture procedures and is a very popular speaker at international conferences.
" Liposculpture is a safe treatment which is highly valued by patients. Every treatment carries risks. Professional assessment of the patient and of his / her general health is the most important step towards successful treatment."
Liposculpture at the Wellness Kliniek is ISO 9001/14001 quality certified.
Liposuction
Liposuction is the general term for the removal of excess fat.
- Lipo (=fat)
- Suction
Today we prefer the term Liposculpture because we don't just want to remove the fat, we especially want to give the body a more pleasing shape.
Liposuction is a collective name for 'having the fat removed' by suction.
Modern Liposculpture
In the Wellness Kliniek we use the modern SWL method combined with the PAL method:
- safe treatment
- perfect infiltration
- minimal tissue damage
- exact quantity of liquid / fat
- requires a minimum anaesthetic
- limited risks
- limited bloodloss
- hardly any bruising
- optimal removal of fat cells
- permanent result
Liposculpture without scarring
We make a number of small incisions in the skin (about 3mm) where little or no scarring occurs.
- The incisions are not sutured so that the body can get rid of any excess liquid.
- This helps the healing process.
- After 2 days there is no more leakage from the wounds.
- A few weeks later there is hardly any evidence of the procedure having been performed.
Anaesthetic during Liposculpture
You can decide for yourself whether you want to have your treatment performed under:
- Local anaesthetic
- Intravenous sedation
If several areas are to be treated we do advise intravenous sedation.
Intravenous sedation for liposculpture = no extra charge
Liposculpture
Liposculpture
- Lipo (=fat)
- Sculpture (=shaping)
The PAL - SWT Liposculpture method
Modern Vibro-Liposculpture
PAL = Power- Assisted Liposculpture
SWT = Super Wet Liposculpture
- 1. Safe
- 2. Great results
- 3. Permanent effect
Other techniques
WAL : Water-Assisted Liposuction
- long-term treatment
- increased risk of infection
- danger of anaesthetic overdose
VASER : Fat removal by Laser
- slow procedure
- increased risk of infection
- risk of pigmentation problems
- no mechanical destruction of the fat cells
- results are not permanent
- a fad: not commonly used by experienced doctors
Liposculpture and Weight loss
Liposuction - liposculpture doesn't offer general weight loss:
1 litre of fat weighs 400 grams
Even after liposuction treatment in 4 to 5 areas of the body you will barely notice a difference in your weight.
- Liposculpture = volume loss
- Liposculpture = no weight loss
A safe treatment
Liposculpture is an operation. Every operation carries risks. A safe environment is important!
The Wellness Kliniek : a Hospital
- We are a fully licensed General Hospital.
- Liposcupture is performed on an outpatient basis.
- However, if necessary, you can stay with us overnight.
- You can stay in a private room - with ensuite bathroom.
- 24/24 medical assistance.
Lipotransfer - Lipofilling
Lipotransfer is the general term for transplanting fat.
- Lipo (=fat)
- Transfer
The doctor removes fat from a particular area in order to transplant it somewhere else.
Transplanting fat (filling with fat) is also called Lipofilling.
Ultrasound - Assisted Liposuction
Ultrasound Liposculpture:
an outdated method:
- the treatment takes 3 times longer than PAL / SWL
- increased risk of infection
- can cause burns
- less effective results
Mega - Liposculpture
We remove a maximum of 4 - 5 litres of fat per treatment session.
We can spread this maximum volume over several areas.
Larger quantities result in increased risk: especially toxic side-effects.
Your safety and health is our primary concern.
