It’s not a weight-loss surgery but a body-contouring tool that helps refine lines and enhance natural shape.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits in targeted areas of the body—think face, arms, chin, belly, and more. It permanently removes fat cells from areas resistant to diet and exercise, resulting in a smoother silhouette.
Through our trusted partner clinics, Trambellir connects you with various liposuction solutions—from VASER liposuction to traditional methods—tailored for the face, arms, chin, and abdomen.
Not all liposuction procedures are the same. Different techniques are designed to suit different body areas, fat densities, and recovery preferences. Through its partner clinics, Trambellir helps connect clients with the method that best aligns with their body goals and medical considerations. Here are the most common types:
This is the most widely used method. A saline solution mixed with anesthetic and epinephrine is injected into the target area to numb it, reduce bleeding, and make fat removal easier. A thin cannula is then inserted to suction out fat. This method works well for larger areas like the belly, thighs, and arms.
VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells before removal, which can help preserve surrounding tissues and blood vessels. Many people choose this option for smoother results and potentially quicker recovery—especially for delicate areas like the face or chin.
Also known as SmartLipo, this method uses laser energy to liquefy fat before it’s suctioned out. The heat from the laser can also stimulate collagen production, which may help tighten skin. It’s often selected for smaller areas or when mild skin tightening is desired.
This technique uses a special cannula that moves rapidly back and forth, making it easier for the surgeon to remove dense fat. PAL can reduce procedure time and is especially useful for fibrous areas like the back or male chest.
This newer technique uses a pressurized stream of saline water to loosen fat cells before removal. It’s considered gentler on the body and may result in less swelling and bruising, though it’s not as widely available as other methods

When it comes to liposuction, certain areas of the body tend to store fat that simply won’t respond to diet or exercise. That’s where targeted liposuction from our partner clinics can make a visible difference.
Excess fat under the chin—also called submental fat—can create the appearance of a “double chin” and make the face look heavier than it really is. Face and chin liposuction works to gently remove these deposits, enhancing the jawline, improving facial symmetry, and giving the profile a more sculpted, youthful look. It’s especially popular for people who want definition without major changes to their natural features.
Even with regular workouts, the upper arms can hold onto soft, sagging fat, often nicknamed “bat wings.” Liposuction for arms targets these problem areas to create a firmer, more toned appearance. This treatment is a great choice for those who want to feel confident in sleeveless outfits or simply wish to restore a more balanced look to their overall body proportions.

The abdomen is one of the most common places where stubborn fat lingers—whether due to genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. Belly liposuction can smooth lower abdominal bulges, tighten contours, and help clothes fit more comfortably. It’s often sought after by individuals who have achieved a healthy weight but still want to refine their midsection.
Through Trambellir’s network of carefully selected partner clinics, you can find liposuction options tailored to your specific needs—whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement like face liposuction or a more dramatic change such as belly contouring. Every package is designed to connect you with experienced surgeons, modern facilities, and a treatment plan suited to your body goals.
• A small cannula (thin hollow tube) is inserted through tiny incisions.
• Fat is suctioned out via vacuum or ultrasonic vibration (as in VASER).
• An anesthetic (local or general) is used depending on the site and extent.
Technologies like VASER liposuction use ultrasound to loosen fat before removal—often resulting in smoother skin contraction and potentially quicker recovery.
At Trambellir, you can choose between traditional liposuction or these advanced methods depending on your treatment area and goal.
Just like the procedure itself, recovery after liposuction is a personal journey that depends on the treated area, your overall health, and the specific technique used by the partner clinic. While each person heals at their own pace, here’s a realistic breakdown of what you might expect:
For smaller treatment areas like the face and chin, healing is usually quicker. Swelling and mild bruising often subside within 1–2 weeks, and you can typically return to most daily activities soon after. Some tightness or temporary numbness may occur, but it usually resolves on its own. By 4–6 weeks, the final definition—like a sharper jawline or smoother profile—becomes more visible as swelling completely fades.
Larger areas, such as the arms and belly, generally require a longer healing period. Moderate swelling and bruising may persist for around 2–3 weeks. During this time, wearing compression garments is essential to minimize swelling, promote even healing, and help the skin adapt to its new contour. Tenderness and stiffness are normal early on and should gradually improve with time.
Light activities or desk work can often be resumed within a few days after surgery. However, intense physical activities—such as weight training, running, or high-impact exercises—should be avoided until your surgeon clears you, typically around weeks 3–4. This gradual approach reduces the risk of complications and supports optimal results.

Healing well is not only about following the medical advice from your partner clinic—it’s also about supporting your body’s natural recovery process. Here are some evidence-backed ways to help:
• Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water aids tissue healing, reduces swelling, and helps flush out residual anesthesia.
• Follow a Balanced Diet: Include protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, legumes, and dairy to support tissue repair, along with vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables for immune health.
• Wear Compression Garments as Directed: This helps minimize swelling, prevent fluid build-up, and improve contour shaping.
• Avoid Smoking & Alcohol: Smoking can restrict blood flow, delaying healing, while alcohol may increase swelling and bruising.
• Get Gentle Movement: Short, slow walks can promote blood circulation, reduce the risk of clots, and aid recovery—without stressing the treated area.
• Manage Swelling with Elevation: For facial or arm liposuction, keeping the treated area elevated when resting can help reduce puffiness.
• Follow Your Surgeon’s Follow-Up Schedule: Postoperative visits allow for early detection of any healing issues and adjustments to your recovery plan.
Through Trambellir’s network of trusted partner clinics, patients receive detailed aftercare plans customized to their specific procedure and body goals. From guidance on garment use and scar care to follow-up appointments, every step is designed to help you recover comfortably and achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results.
You’ll often notice immediate shaping, but swelling means final results appear over weeks to months. Most clients see noticeable contouring in 4–6 weeks, with full definition by 3 months.
The transformation can be subtle yet impactful, especially for the face and chin areas, improving profile and boosting confidence without a drastic change.
Ideal candidates are people with stable weight, good skin elasticity, and overall health. Liposuction isn’t meant for general weight loss but for contour enhancement after a diet and exercise plateau. Advanced age or certain health conditions may require additional evaluation.
Trambellir aligns you with certified surgeons and safe facilities where anesthesia and proper hygiene protocols are ensured.
1. Is liposuction safe for the face? Yes—when performed by certified professionals, submental liposuction to remove fat under the chin is generally safe with minimal downtime.
2. How long is recovery for belly liposuction? Most patients return to light activity within a week; more vigorous workouts usually resume after 3–4 weeks.
3. Will fat return after liposuction? Removed fat cells don’t return, but remaining cells can expand if weight isn’t managed—making lifestyle maintenance important.
4. Which areas yield best results? Face, arms, chin, and belly often respond well to liposuction, particularly with techniques like VASER for enhanced contours.
