What it is
Liposuction removes localized pockets of fat through small incisions using fine cannulas, usually with a tumescent technique that reduces bleeding and discomfort. It reshapes and refines the contour of a specific area rather than reducing overall body weight.
It is a contouring procedure, not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for weight loss. Results depend heavily on skin quality, since the skin must retract over the new contour. At Skulpturkliniken liposuction can be performed across many areas, including chin and neck, arms, the abdomen and flanks (love handles), back and bra rolls, a full 360-degree torso, the mons, inner and outer thighs, knees, and calves.
What it can improve
- Stubborn, localized fat that resists diet and exercise
- Contour and definition of the treated area
- Proportion and balance between body zones
- Smoother transitions when several adjacent areas are treated
It does not treat obesity, does not tighten significantly loose skin, and does not remove cellulite or stretch marks. Where skin laxity is significant, a skin-removal procedure may be more appropriate.
Liposuction Treatments Area, Targeted Body Contouring for Natural, Balanced Results
Front Abdominal Liposuction
Front abdominal liposuction targets localized fat deposits on the front of the abdomen to create a smoother and more defined contour. The procedure is tailored to your anatomy, proportions, and individual goals.
Full Abdominal Liposuction
Full abdominal liposuction treats both the upper and lower abdomen to improve overall abdominal contour and definition. The aim is to create a balanced, natural-looking transition between the abdomen and waist.
Chin & Jawline Liposuction
Chin and jawline liposuction reduces localized fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. The procedure can improve facial definition and create a clearer transition between the face and neck.
Arm Liposuction
Arm liposuction removes localized fat deposits from the upper arms to create a slimmer and more defined contour. Treatment is individually planned to maintain natural proportions and smooth transitions.
Periaxillary Liposuction
Periaxillary liposuction targets localized fat around the armpit and the transition between the upper arm, chest, and back. The goal is to create a smoother and more balanced contour in this area.
Hip & Flank Liposuction
Hip and flank liposuction reduces stubborn fat deposits around the waist and sides of the torso. The procedure can enhance waist definition and improve the overall balance between the abdomen, hips, and back.
Upper Back Liposuction
Upper back liposuction treats localized fat deposits around the bra line and upper back. The procedure can create a smoother back contour and improve the transition between the back, arms, and waist.
Back Liposuction
Back liposuction removes localized fat deposits from selected areas of the back to create a smoother and more defined silhouette. Treatment is planned according to your individual anatomy and body proportions.
360° Torso Liposuction
360° torso liposuction treats the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back as one continuous area. This circumferential approach can create improved waist definition and more balanced body contours from every angle.
Buttock Liposuction
Buttock liposuction can reduce selected fat deposits around the buttocks to improve shape and proportion. Careful planning is important to preserve natural volume and create smooth, harmonious contours.
Mons Pubis Liposuction
Mons pubis liposuction reduces excess fatty tissue in the area above the pubic region. The procedure can create a flatter contour and a smoother transition between the lower abdomen and mons pubis.
Inner Thigh Liposuction
Inner thigh liposuction targets localized fat deposits on the inner thighs to create a slimmer and smoother leg contour. The treatment is designed to maintain natural proportions and a balanced transition toward the knees.
Outer Thigh Liposuction
Outer thigh liposuction reduces localized fat deposits on the outer thighs, sometimes referred to as saddlebags. The procedure can improve the contour between the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Circumferential Thigh Liposuction
Circumferential thigh liposuction treats the inner, outer, front, and back of the thighs as one complete area. This approach is designed to create more even proportions and a smoother contour around the entire thigh.
Knee Liposuction
Knee liposuction removes localized fat deposits around the knees, particularly along the inner knee area. The procedure can improve leg definition and create a smoother transition between the thighs and lower legs.
Calf & Lower Leg Liposuction
Calf and lower leg liposuction can reduce localized fat deposits in selected patients and create a more balanced lower-leg contour. Careful assessment and precise treatment planning are essential to achieve a smooth and natural-looking result.
Before the procedure
You will receive individualized instructions covering medication, supplements, smoking, alcohol, fasting, and any required tests. Treatment areas and realistic outcomes are planned together at consultation, and a compression garment is arranged for recovery.
During the procedure
Through small, discreetly placed incisions, fine cannulas remove fat evenly to shape the area. Care is taken to leave a smooth layer beneath the skin so the contour looks natural rather than over-resected.
After the procedure
Swelling, bruising, and firmness are normal and settle gradually. A compression garment is worn as advised to support the new contour, light walking is encouraged early, and the final shape continues to refine over several months.
Results: what it can and cannot achieve
A smoother, more refined contour is achievable in the treated area. Liposuction cannot guarantee perfect symmetry, cannot tighten loose skin, and cannot prevent future weight gain, which can still change the result. Maintaining a stable weight protects the outcome.
Possible risks and complications
Liposuction is generally safe in experienced hands, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
- Bruising, swelling, and temporary numbness
- Contour irregularity, rippling, or asymmetry
- Fluid collection (seroma)
- Changes in skin sensation
- Loose skin where retraction is limited
- Rare but serious risks including blood clots and fat embolism
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems and wound complications, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential.
Who it suits
Liposuction may suit patients close to a stable weight who have localized fat and good skin quality. It is especially suitable for patients who:
- Have stubborn fat in specific areas despite diet and exercise
- Are close to a stable, healthy weight
- Have good skin elasticity
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations
- Do not smoke or can stop before and after surgery
It may not suit patients seeking weight loss, those with significant skin laxity who may need skin removal, or those who are not at a stable weight. Your surgeon assesses suitability before recommending it.
Why Skulpturkliniken
Body surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso
Body contouring at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon. His reconstructive background gives him a detailed command of anatomy, blood supply, and tissue handling, which is the foundation for safe contouring and natural proportions.
Natural, balanced results
Dr. Amoroso plans every procedure around your proportions rather than maximum change. The aim is a balanced, natural shape that suits your frame and moves naturally, planned with restraint so the result looks like you at your best.
Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment
Choosing a surgeon is personal, and the relationship should rest on open communication and trust. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand what is realistic, which approach suits you, and whether surgery is the right option at all.
Individualized assessment
Every procedure begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
Areas of concern, fat distribution, and skin quality
Skin laxity and ability to retract
Overall proportions and frame
General health, weight stability, and lifestyle
Your goals and realistic expectations
What Does Surgery Cost?
The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.

All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.
