Liposuction results

Dr. Christian Niehus and the team at the Zeltweg practice offer outstanding results through liposuction and liposculpture.

Liposuction is one of the most proven methods for specifically removing stubborn fat deposits and achieving a harmonious body silhouette. Precision is crucial in this procedure — excess adipose tissue is carefully removed while maintaining a natural layer of fat to achieve a uniform and elegant result.

Dr. med. Christian Niehus, who specializes in liposculpture, has a wealth of experience and offers his patients high-precision treatment techniques that meet the modern requirements of aesthetic surgery. His focus is always on the optimal body shape and the individual goals of each patient.

What is liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as liposuction, is the targeted procedure to remove excess adipose tissue in specific areas of the body. This procedure is used to shape the body (body contouring) and optimize the silhouette without drastically reducing the total fat content. Unlike diets, in which the volume of fat cells decreases but their number remains the same, liposuction removes fat cells permanently. It is important to remove only enough fat to retain the natural shape.

Dr. Niehus works primarily with liposculpture, a sophisticated form of liposuction that not only removes fat but also creates precise contours. “It is crucial that the silhouette remains natural and that the body forms harmoniously,” says Dr. Niehus.

Who is liposuction suitable for?

Liposuction is suitable for people who have excess fat on certain parts of the body, which persists despite a healthy diet and exercise. Popular areas include:

• stomach and waist
• hips and thighs
• backs
• arms
• chin and throat

The procedure is ideal if you generally want to keep your weight stable and only want to improve certain areas. Dr. Niehus places particular emphasis on detailed advice to ensure that every patient has realistic expectations for liposuction.

What methods of liposuction does Dr. Niehus offer?

In practice on Zeltweg, a combination of cutting-edge techniques is used to achieve optimal results. Dr. Niehus specializes in Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) and Vacuum-Assisted Liposculpture (VaAl) in particular. These techniques allow excess fat to be removed particularly gently and precisely, resulting in a more even silhouette.

Another option is Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL), also known as VASER. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to liquefy fat cells before they are sucked out. The advantage of this method is that the surrounding tissue is spared, which can accelerate healing and minimize the risk of irregularities.

How does the procedure work?

In most cases, the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. During liposuction, Dr. Niehus uses the self-developed Triple-Step Infiltration©, an almost painless method of tumescent anesthesia in which the tissue is impregnated with an anesthetic solution. This anesthetizes the treatment area so that you are fully conscious but without pain.

Alternatively, sedation can also be offered, especially for large-scale treatments. This allows you to sleep during the entire procedure while the tumescent anesthesia continues to work. After completing the operation, you wake up and experience only mild discomfort, similar to sore muscles.

What can you expect from the results?

Liposuction can produce amazing results, especially in the hands of an experienced expert like Dr. Niehus. The first changes are visible shortly after the procedure, as the treated areas appear slimmer and the silhouette is recontoured. However, the final results are only visible after several weeks, when the swelling has completely disappeared and the skin has adapted to the new contours.

Dr. Niehus pays particular attention to harmonizing proportions. “The aim of liposuction is to optimize the body's silhouette while maintaining the natural balance,” he explains. The method ensures that the treated areas maintain their proportions even after weight gain.

How long do the results last?

The results of liposuction are permanent because the removed fat cells do not grow back. However, it is important to maintain a stable weight after the procedure. Significant weight gain can cause the remaining fat cells to increase in volume, which could change the contours. But even here, the newly created silhouette is usually retained.

Dr. Niehus emphasizes that a healthy lifestyle after liposuction is essential. “It's not just about removing fat, but maintaining the result in the long term,” says the expert.

Liposuction and skin tightening: What happens to the skin?

A common concern of patients is how the skin will behave after liposuction. In younger patients with good skin elasticity, the skin usually retracts well and adapts to the new contours. However, patients with less elastic skin may need additional tightening.

Dr. Niehus uses a gentle approach to this. It only removes the excess fat that is necessary to optimize the silhouette and leaves an even layer of fat that ensures a natural shape. In this way, it minimizes the risk of irregularities and improves the chances of firm and smooth skin after the procedure.

Aftercare: What do you need to pay attention to after liposuction?

After the procedure, Dr. Niehus recommends wearing a compression bandage for around two weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing. After just a few days, most patients can return to normal life, but strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks.

The healing process is closely monitored: “We see our patients regularly for follow-up checks to ensure that everything is going according to plan and that the results are optimal,” emphasizes Dr. Niehus. This includes visits to the practice after 7-10 days, as well as further checks after two, four and six months.

Risks and complications

Liposuction is a proven and relatively safe method, but like any surgical procedure, it has certain risks. The most common side effects include swelling, bruising, and temporary sensory disturbances. In rare cases, there may be irregular skin contours, which is why choosing an experienced surgeon is crucial.

“It is my goal to keep risks as low as possible,” explains Dr. Niehus. “That is why we work exclusively with modern techniques at Praxis am Zeltweg and attach great importance to a detailed anamnesis and planning of the procedure. ”

Conclusion: Rely on the expertise of Dr. Christian Niehus

If you are thinking about doing liposuction, it is crucial to choose an experienced and competent surgeon. Dr. Christian Niehus is an expert in the field of liposuction and offers his patients tailor-made solutions that are tailored to their individual needs and aesthetic goals.

Using cutting-edge methods and a deep understanding of human anatomy, Dr. Niehus ensures that you achieve a natural and harmonious result that makes you happy in the long term. “Liposuction is not just about removing fat, but about modeling the body so that it matches its natural proportions,” says Dr. Niehus.
