Liposuction

We recommend liposuction using the VASER or WAL technique.

VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to gently break down fat cells before they are removed. The method is particularly effective for body contouring and enhancing muscle definition, while causing minimal damage to the surrounding tissues.

WAL liposuction (Water Assisted Liposuction) uses a water jet to loosen and remove fat cells in a very gentle manner, which helps reduce swelling and promotes a faster recovery.
In cases of looser skin, we may sometimes recommend Renuvion treatment, which tightens the skin from within using a combination of helium plasma and radiofrequency energy. The result is a firmer, smoother skin surface without the need for large surgical incisions.

Be prepared to discuss in the consultation why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome. Be honest about your medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments. We will also discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment and talk about the likely outcomes of liposuction and any risks or potential complications. In addition we take photographs for your medical record.

The surgery is performed as an inpatient in Estonia´s finest private hospital which provides round the clock care. Our patients have full board and rooms with all comforts (toilet, shower, TV, alarm clock, wi-fi). We offer our customers a complete package. We arrange the round-trip ticket between Helsinki and Tallinn, transport from the ferry port to the hospital and back. The price also includes 1 night at the hospital, complete care, anesthesia, surgery, medications and aftercare services such as counseling, and follow-up care.

You will meet your surgeon at the hospital. The surgeon will examine you, mark the liposuction area and explain which surgical technique is most appropriate for you. The operation takes place shortly after your discussion with the surgeon. It is very important not to eat or drink anything (not even water, gum or mints) for a minimum of 6 hours prior to surgery. The surgery takes one hour to complete. When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. After the procedure, a compression garment or elastic bandages will cover treatment areas. These help to control swelling and compress the skin to your new body contours.

You will be provided with effective medication for postoperative discomfort and pain. Usually patients spend one (1) night under observation. On the first postoperative day the plastic surgeon will check the operated area.

Your improved body contour will be apparent when the swelling and fluid retention commonly experienced following liposuction subside. Everyone heals differently, some discoloration and swelling will occur initially, but most residual swelling will resolve within a month. It may take several months for the swelling to fully dissipate after liposuction surgery. As it does, your new contours and enhanced self-image should continue to develop. A significant weight gain can reverse your results. Following liposuction, your slimmer and better-proportioned body should more accurately reflect the healthy and active life you lead.

The follow-up appointment is 6 months postoperative. After liposuction, it is often possible to return to work within 2-7 days, depending on your job. You cannot exercise for 4 weeks after surgery. The procedure requires a supportive garment, which is provided from the hospital. You have to wear it for 4 week after surgery. Please follow the postoperative instructions you will be given in written.

For the best results, Plastikakirurgia Finest advises every customer to purchase a second support garment from MT Estetic import company. They can be bought from the importer’s online store. It is important to invest in the correct support garment.

Our co-operation partners offer our patients safe postoperative care, such as counseling and follow-up appointments.

As with any surgery, liposuction does have some risks and complications associated with it. The complications are rare, but for safety reasons, all our patients get a mobile phone number, from where our patients can reach us anytime.
