Desk work can be resumed after a few days, although it is advisable to take about a week off.

As a rule the result can be seen immediately, but it usually takes up to 12 months until all swelling has gone and one can speak of a lasting result.

As a rule a few days after the procedure

Endurance sport after 4 weeks, strength training after 6 weeks.

A bath and swimming in fresh water are permitted after 4 weeks, swimming in salt water or chlorinated water after 6 weeks.

Depending on how you feel, after 2-3 weeks.

Two weeks day and night, then a further week at night.

Slight to moderate - a breast augmentation feels like severe muscle soreness. When you lie still it does not hurt. Changing position or touching the breast is uncomfortable, however. To manage the pain, patients are given painkillers on discharge and it is explained to you in precise detail how they are to be taken.

On the day after the procedure.

Breastfeeding is just as possible after a breast augmentation as it was before. As the breast implants are placed behind the existing glandular tissue or behind the chest muscle, the procedure does not restrict the ability to breastfeed.

Only with a breast lift or a breast reduction can the reduction of the existing glandular tissue lead to restrictions and therefore to lower milk production.

About 1 year should pass between the procedure and a pregnancy so that the skin can adapt to the new situation.

The question here is whether family planning has already been completed or not. If you are planning children in the next 1-2 years, I would rather advise waiting until family planning is complete. If a child is not wanted for several years, you may well consider a breast augmentation.

You should take things a little easy for the first 2 weeks. That means that until the end of the second week you may lift a weight of no more than 5 kg.  From the 3rd week it is possible to lift your baby again. Older children after 4 weeks.

Yes - after the initial consultation you will receive a detailed overview of the costs, on the basis of which we can discuss all the options for instalment payments.

We try everything to keep the waiting time as short as possible. On average you will be given an appointment within 1-2 weeks.

You have the guarantee of being advised, operated on and cared for afterwards by a superbly trained specialist in plastic surgery who has specialised in aesthetic body shaping. This gives you the best possible treatment with the most modern techniques and the highest safety standards. Your satisfaction is our highest concern.

Dr. Saalabian has worked in plastic surgery for more than 10 years and has already carried out more than 1,000 plastic surgical procedures. For years he has been one of the leading experts and opinion formers in body-shaping procedures such as liposuction, fat transplantation and body lifts. Dr. Saalabian is known worldwide through his continuous further training and expert meetings with international authorities in the field of body contouring. Because of his high standards and his love of the field, he works constantly on innovative techniques and to the greatest possible degree on patient safety.

Aesthetic procedures are possible between the ages of 16 and 18 only in extreme exceptional cases. For body-shaping measures I recommend reaching the age of majority as a necessary requirement.

The highest safety standards are guaranteed at our centre. In the rare event of a complete power failure in Vienna, our own in-house emergency generators allow us to complete any procedure under way without difficulty up to its planned end.

Almost every area of the body is suitable for liposuction. Liposuction is most frequently carried out on the abdomen, the thighs, flanks, hips, upper arms, neck, lower legs, inner knees and back.

With liposuction the procedure and the shaping are carried out through only the smallest punctures of a few millimetres at most. (max. 2-5mm) Even these are largely placed in areas that are as inconspicuous as possible. As a rule these punctures are barely visible after some time. Classic scars such as those from procedures involving additional incisions do not remain.

No general anaesthesia is needed to carry out liposuction, or a fat transplantation, free of pain. For more extensive procedures we generally recommend so-called "twilight sedation" (in addition to the local anaesthetic), administered by an experienced anaesthetist. In our view this is not only the safest way to carry out the procedure, but also the most comfortable and least painful method for our patients.

In some states of the USA only volumes of about 2 litres (equivalent to about 2kg) of pure fatty tissue may legally be removed. In our experience, outpatient liposuction of 3-4 litres can be carried out well and safely where the general state of health is good. For liposuction of more than 4 litres I recommend planning an inpatient stay of one night with us.

Overall, however, it must be said that liposuction does not serve to reduce the kilos on the scales, but to improve the shape of the body.

Depending on the extent and complexity, liposuction takes between one and four hours.

Fat cells that have been removed cannot re-form. A lasting improvement can therefore be expected after liposuction. The only important thing is that you do not put on weight in an uncontrolled way after liposuction, as otherwise the fat cells that are naturally present can become larger and make the result worse.

Depending on the extent and course of the liposuction, after about two to seven days.

The technique we use is completely free of pain. That is also very important to me in order to be able to guarantee you the best possible result. In the days after the procedure you can expect complaints similar to muscle soreness.

The fat cells that have been removed can, for example, be reintroduced in various areas as part of improving the body contour, such as the buttocks, the breast or the facial area.

The greater part of the fatty tissue removed is collected in special containers, the pure quantity of fat is measured and it is then disposed of properly.

With trained bodies, where the final finishing touch is often still missing to show the body off to full advantage, very frequently in the abdominal and lower abdominal area, on the flanks, upper arms and thighs.

In general I use the individual techniques of HD Body Contouring in almost all of my liposuction procedures in order to achieve the best possible result. In summary, HD Body Contouring  is above all  about defining the body.

Fat cells that have been removed cannot re-form. A lasting improvement can therefore be expected after body contouring. The only important thing is that you do not put on weight in an uncontrolled way after the procedure, as otherwise the fat cells that are naturally present can become larger and make the result worse.

Body lifts can be carried out in almost all areas where the main problem is poor or excess skin, often also markedly sagging skin. Most frequently I carry out abdominoplasty, upper arm lifts and thigh lifts. Many non-surgical measures such as heat-based methods, for example radiofrequency, laser and ultrasound, can achieve a minimal tightening in selected patients - a genuine tightening of several centimetres can be achieved only by a surgical lift. Where skin has already been affected by weight gain and loss, or where skin quality is too poor, a visible tightening can likewise be achieved only with body lift surgery, which we carry out at the Kuzbari Centre.

Definitely! I carry out liposuction as part of almost every body lift. This not only allows me to shape the body far better, it is also fundamentally a considerably gentler procedure for my patients. With a pure skin tightening I can solve the problem of poor skin quality or excess skin. If I additionally use liposuction or HD Body Contouring, the silhouette of the body can be improved substantially as well.
