The benefits of liposuction at the Kuzbari Centre
Liposuction removes fat deposits that remain despite exercise and diet — permanently. How good the result looks depends on the surgeon’s experience, the technique and the care taken before and after the procedure. Here you can see what sets liposuction at the Kuzbari Centre apart.

Eight reasons for liposuction at the Kuzbari Centre
Body contouring specialists
At the Kuzbari Centre two specialists in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery who focus on body contouring perform liposuction: Dr. Ali Saalabian and Dr. Shawqi Arafat.
Their aim is not to remove as much fat as possible but to shape the body deliberately: harmonious contours without hard transitions or dents, a silhouette that suits your body.

The results we achieve with liposuction are permanent — because after puberty the body no longer produces new fat cells.

Safety, all under one roof
Liposuction at the Kuzbari Centre takes place entirely in our own building: consultation, safety check, operation, overnight stay and check-ups. Across around 1,800 m² there is our own operating suite with three operating rooms and our own ward.
Every procedure is preceded by a pre-operative talk and a safety check with the anaesthetist, including a blood test. The results form the basis for clearance to operate.
- Usually a day case, a night on our own ward after larger procedures
- Local anaesthesia, twilight sedation or general anaesthesia — agreed with the anaesthetist
- Gentle, minimally invasive techniques through small incisions
- Our surgeons can be reached day and night after the procedure
Advanced techniques for body contouring
The key technologies of liposuction are available at the Kuzbari Centre: VASER, PAL and Renuvion, complemented by the classic cannula. Your surgeon chooses the technique according to the area, skin quality and goal.
| Feature | VASER | PAL | Renuvion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Principle | Ultrasound loosens the fat before suction | Vibrating cannula, power-assisted liposuction | Cold plasma tightens the tissue beneath the skin |
| Strength | Detailed body sculpting, HD definition | Precise, fine contours | Skin tightening without an additional incision |
| Costs | Included in the price of liposuction | Included in the price of liposuction | Included; as a separate treatment €1,200 – 1,800 |
Sculpting, not just suction
Fine contouring decides whether a result looks natural. Instead of a body that looks “ironed flat”, the transitions between treated and untreated zones are smooth — with defined muscle contours where wanted.
Natural results
Good liposuction is not seen as a procedure but as a balanced contour. The following cases are patients of the Kuzbari Centre.

The page on the procedure shows what each step looks like, from the first appointment to the final result. How liposuction works
Permanent, without the yo-yo effect
Fat cells that have been removed do not grow back — the new contour remains. A healthy lifestyle is part of it: if you gain weight later, the fat is distributed more evenly than before instead of collecting in the old problem area. Many patients report feeling more motivated after treatment to maintain their shape through exercise and diet.
The operation helped me finally feel free in my head. Now I can focus on the essential things in life with confidence and be happy.

Frequently asked questions about the benefits of liposuction
What is the greatest benefit of liposuction?
It removes fat cells precisely and permanently from the areas where fat persists despite exercise and diet, shaping the contour at the same time. Fat cells that have been removed do not grow back.
Who performs liposuction at the Kuzbari Centre?
Dr. Ali Saalabian and Dr. Shawqi Arafat, both specialists in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery with a focus on body contouring. Dr. Saalabian has performed over 2,000 liposuction procedures.
Which techniques are used?
VASER (ultrasound-assisted), PAL (vibrating cannula) and the classic cannula, complemented where needed by Renuvion for skin tightening. VASER and Renuvion are included in the price of liposuction.
Where does the procedure take place?
At the Kuzbari Centre itself, Seitzergasse 2-4, 1010 Vienna: in our own operating suite with three operating rooms and our own ward. Consultation, operation and check-ups all take place under one roof.
Can liposuction be done as a day case?
Usually yes. After a day-case procedure you generally go home two to three hours later. After larger procedures we recommend a night on our ward.

You are presentable after about two days, desk work is possible after two to four days, and sport from two weeks, depending on the area. You wear the compression garment for two to six weeks.

No. Fat cells that have been removed do not grow back. If you gain weight later, the fat is distributed more evenly than before.
