Liposuction - definition, goals and suitable patients
Content: Liposuction is a surgical procedure that aims to remove stubborn fat deposits from certain areas of the body. The method is used to improve body contours and achieve a more harmonious appearance.
Suitable areas of the body for liposuction include
- Belly
- Hips
- Thigh
- Knee
- Upper arms
- Back
- Chin and neck
The ideal candidate for liposuction should have a relatively stable body weight and be healthy. In addition, there should be realistic expectations of the results, as liposuction is not intended as a primary method of weight loss.
It is important to understand the difference between liposuction and weight loss. While weight loss through diet and exercise results in an overall reduction in body fat, liposuction aims to remove targeted fat cells in specific areas of the body that do not respond to conventional weight loss strategies. Liposuction is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, but serves as a supplement to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and balanced appearance.
Liposuction is an effective method of removing stubborn fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise. In my practice, I will advise you in detail about the procedure and help you to develop realistic expectations of the result. Together we will develop a personalised treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and aesthetic goals.

Liposuction methods and techniques in Berlin
Optimum results through individualised treatment methods
Tumescent technique
The tumescent technique is the most commonly used method of liposuction. A special liquid consisting of a mixture of saline solution, local anaesthetic and adrenaline is injected into the fatty tissue. This liquid causes the fatty tissue to swell and detach from the surrounding structures. The fat cells are then suctioned out using fine cannulas. The tumescent technique enables gentle liposuction with minimal blood loss and pain. It can also be used for upper arm lifts, thigh lifts or as a treatment for gynaecomastia.
Autologous fat treatment (lipofilling)
Autologous fat treatment, also known as lipofilling, is a method in which liposuctioned fat from one area of the body is used to build up volume and contour in other areas of the body. With this technique, the fat cells are first purified and prepared before being injected into the desired body region. This method is particularly suitable for the Brazilian butt lift, cheek augmentation, facial rejuvenation or breast augmentation.
Depending on individual needs and body regions, I select the most suitable liposuction method for patients in order to achieve optimal results. In a detailed consultation, we will discuss your wishes and ideas together in order to find the right treatment approach and achieve your aesthetic goals in the best possible way.

DUBIOUS METHODS
THE "GENTLE" FAT REMOVAL
As with any surgical procedure, risks such as swelling, bruising or wound healing disorders can also occur during a breast lift. Asymmetry or a temporary change in the sensitivity of the nipples are also possible side effects, but these heal quickly in most cases. Fortunately, nipple death as a complication is extremely rare.
Laser liposuction (laser lipolysis, soft laser)
A laser probe is inserted into the subcutaneous fat area under local anaesthetic. The thermal energy of the laser dissolves and liquefies the fatty tissue. The dissolved fat does not need to be suctioned out in very small areas as it is absorbed by the natural metabolism. For larger treated areas, the liquefied fatty tissue is suctioned out anyway using a classic technique. This procedure is relatively new on the market, so that there is not yet sufficient experience and meaningful scientific data.
"Fat-away injection" (injection lipolysis)
In the so-called fat-away injection, the active ingredient phosphatidylcholine, also known as lecithin, is extracted from the soya bean and injected through the skin directly into the fatty tissue to be treated. This dissolves existing fat cells, removes them from the metabolism and finally excretes them naturally. This reduces the volume of fatty tissue. There are no serious long-term studies that prove the effectiveness and tolerability of the fat removal injection. Nor can the user make any reliable predictions about the resulting body contours or dimpling. However, the method is certainly justified for small, circumscribed areas and is regularly used by Dr Noack.
"Fat-away laser"
In this non-surgical method, the fat cells are exposed to a high level of laser radiation that penetrates a few millimetres deep into the tissue. This process liquefies the fat cells in a similar way to actual laser lipolysis. Several sessions are often necessary, a permanent effect is not guaranteed with this method and is therefore not recommended.
As a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, I am always keen to offer my patients safe and effective treatment methods. When choosing a fat removal treatment, I recommend relying on scientifically proven and recognised methods to achieve the best possible results. In my practice, I only use established techniques and offer detailed consultations to find the right method for your individual needs and to achieve your aesthetic goals together.

The liposuction procedure in Berlin
From preparation to recovery
Counselling interview
The consultation is the first step in discussing individual needs and expectations and determining the best possible method for liposuction. During this consultation, you will be informed about the procedure, possible risks and realistic expectations.
Preparation for liposuction
Before liposuction, you will be given instructions that you should follow carefully to minimise risks and achieve the best possible results. These include stopping certain medications, dietary advice, avoiding nicotine and alcohol and avoiding sleeping pills.
Anaesthesia and duration of surgery
Depending on the extent of the procedure, liposuction can be performed on small areas under local anaesthetic. However, Dr Noack predominantly performs liposuction under general anaesthesia, which benefits patient comfort. The duration of the operation varies depending on the size of the area to be treated and the technique used.
Aftercare and recovery phase
After liposuction, it is advisable to spend at least one night in the clinic or, if performed on an outpatient basis, to arrange to be picked up. A compression garment must be worn for the following 4-6 weeks to support healing. Showering is possible after about three days and it is recommended to plan five to seven days off work. Post-operative lymphatic drainage in several sessions starting about a week after the operation can support the healing process.
Realistic expectations and possible risks of liposuction
A preliminary result is already visible in the days following the operation. Swelling is usually completely gone after three months, while the final result is achieved after eight to twelve months. Liposuctioned fat cells do not grow back, but remaining cells can increase in volume again with an unhealthy diet. It is therefore important to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to achieve satisfactory results in the long term.
As a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, it is important to me to explain the entire liposuction process to my patients in a transparent and understandable way. From the consultation, preparation and execution to aftercare and recovery, I support my patients to ensure that they receive optimal care and achieve the best possible results.

- Size and number of areas to be treated
- Anaesthesia and duration of surgery
- Hospitalisation and aftercare
- Compression girdle
Average costs in Berlin
In Berlin, the average cost of liposuction is between €2,000 and €10,000. However, it is important to note that these are only guidelines and individual costs may vary.
Payment by instalments
In some cases, clinics and doctors offer instalment payment options to cover the cost of liposuction in manageable monthly instalments. This can be an interesting option for patients who require financing.
Health insurance coverage
Private health insurance companies do not generally cover the costs of aesthetic procedures. However, in certain medically indicated cases, such as grade 3 lipoedema, cost coverage may be considered. Patients should contact their private health insurance provider directly to clarify their individual options.
The cost of liposuction in Berlin varies depending on the extent and method of the procedure. During a personal consultation, I will be happy to provide you with a personalised cost estimate and information about possible financing options. If medically necessary, I support my patients in clarifying whether the costs will be covered by private health insurance.
